'I0ntlhueh from r frSt rage
The revolving six chapters refused 10
vote. and in the personal argumen-e
that were waged to and gro across
the convention room siniste- things
were said to and about some of the
delegates present.
Mrs. Ludlow's followers lost no time
in protesting to the executive board
the election of Mrs. Tuck's ticket
making two outstanding charges.
The first was that the order for all
officers Of the 1922 ganization to
preside had been violated when Mrs.
Hutton called in a new pariamenta-
risn. Mrs. Ludlow offered to raise no
objection II the parliamentarion were
denied the privilege of Il vote, but
this apparently was declined.
The second count was that in the
year that had passed four of the
chapters had bee split UP into seven
chapters. all favorable to the ca ntii-
dacy Of Mrs. Tuck. II was intimated
that the change was made TO insure
enough delegates to the convention
who would cast their ballots for the
re election Of the de facto' officers
The net result was the decision re-
ckived today. upholding the claim
that ths previous order had not been
carried out.
Whether Or not this d. cision was
actually based upon the report of the
faction backing Mrs. Ludlow has not
yet been determined. None OF those
who received the suspension notice
has as yet received any furthr word
from the national organization. those
officers apparently having taken the
stand that the District chapters must
make complete peace among them
selves before. they may be reinstated
as division of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy.
