SUTER-YADEN VOTE
Supporters of Both Fedora
tion Presidential Nominees
Predict Victory Saturday.

With the Federation of Citizens
Associations preparing for its annual
election in the board room of the
District Building Saturday night, in
terest among the neighborhood civic
groups is conferred in the race for
the presidency between Jesse G. Suter,
incumbent, and James G. Yaden of
Petworth.
The more ardent followers Of each
candidate for president are displaying
optimism and predicting victory.
There are other delegates, however,
who say they believe the balloting
will be close.
While there are no other candidates
openly in the field, past experience in

ing of votes for delegates who have
not been prominently mentioned as

Arguments for Candidates.
Mr.. Suffers supporters believe the
creation OF the Citizens Advisory
Council during his incumbency and
the more recent launching of the inter-
federation movement for cooperation
between the citizens associations of
Washington and the adjacent counties
I'm Maryland and Virginia will prove
advan;' Geous to their candidate.
Friends of Mr.. Yaden call attention
to the work he has performed for
the imNguVem@l.t of the public school
system rs rN2i~man Of the federation
comm zee on cducatiOn and as q
former president of the Public School
Association. In these two capacities
Mr. Yad>n was active in working for
the enactment of the tive-year school
building program, the compulsory
ot+ 1oy nd ;t,n co6
compensation for the teachers.
One Point of Importance.
Interest in the selection of presi-
dent Of the federation has been en-
hanced in the past two years by the
fact that the head of the federation
is eX-officio chairman of the Citizens
Advisory Council.
There nra % delegates in the fed
eratlon, two from each affiliated aSso-
citation, q I'D the election is by ajor-
ity. II there &hnu'1 be many favorite
son votes on the first ballot a second
ballot may be necessary.
Their" ara no contests being Waged
for the offices of vice president, secre-
tary or trCa surer, so far as has been
learned 4 report was current today,
however, that delegates from asso-
ciations in the eastern section of the
city might between now and Saturday
propose a candidate for vice president
List Of Present Officers.
These holding office at present are:
Gecr@e Il. Wales, vice president;
David Bahp. secretary, and Z. c.
GresO"N, trea Surer.
Mr.. Suter became president of the
federation ir November. 1924, sue
ceeding Charles A. Baker, who served
three terms. Last year friends of
Mr.. Baker nominated him. The vote
n 1925 was Suter, As; Baker 81.
Supporters of Mr.. Yaden recall that
he received several votes for preSis
dent last year, although he was not
a candidate at that time.

QUEEN IS INITIATED
INTO INDIAN TRIBE
Courage Test and Ride on
Buffalo Robe Fail to Up.
set Royal Guest.

By the Associated Press.
QUEEN MARIE'S SPECIAL
TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO SPOKANE,
November 2.-Queen Marie sped
across Montana today with a blood
spot on her finger and an eagle
feather headdress as evidence of her
rank as woman chieftain of the Sioux
Indian nation.
She was made a blood sister and
war woman" of the tribe at cere-
monies in Mandan. y. Oak, yesterday.
Before placing the feather bonnet on
the Queens head, Chief Red Toma-
hawk, master of ceremonies, reputed
slayer of Sitting Bull. took one of the
Queens fingers and, with a sharpened
flint, pricked the skin. Blood ap-
appeared, but Marie only smiled. The
test of courage was satisfactory, and
the symbolic bonnet was placed on her
{ bobbed tresses.
Ordinarily, the designation war
woman" is given to Indians only when
they have distinguished themselves on
the field Of battle. In the case of
Queen Marie, the Indians recognized
her services to Rumania during the
World War as meriting the highest
rank the tribe could bestow. For the
first time in her visit to this country,
Marie lost her composure yesterday,
when, after she had knelt on a buffalo
robe during the ceremonies, the robe
was picked up by a group of chiefs
and she was carried a short distance
to the ceremonial Wigwam. A startled
expression held the Queens face for
a moment, but she was laughing when
she was lowered to the ground.
Only brief stops in Montana were
arranged for today's itinerary. Spo-
kane, the days destination, would be
reached early this evening.
Her Majesty has not decided on the
proposed trip to Florida. after Wash
ington is reached on the return Jour
ney from the Pacific Coast. Her
spokesman said today that railroads
which would be involved in the South
ern visit have not yet been approach
cd on the schedule.
The Queen spent a large part of
Yesterdays daylight ride across North
Dakota in cOnversing with group
Of that States farmers and their
wives, who boarded the train at Vari-
Gus stops.
Her Majesty was told of diversified
farming and cooperative enterprises,
and realized that agriculture in her
own country of Rumania has far to
go to catch up to this country's mod
ern farming methods.
"A real woman was the comment
Of the farmers and their wives after
they had talked to the Queen. Mrs.
A. II. Barnes of Cotter Station as

A Wedding
And so, the other day, there was
a wedding in, quiet little church
here. Bride and groom had gray
hair, and the bride wore gown
that had been made thirty years ago.
1t was just bit out of style-but
then, it had lain in a trunk for three
long decades.
The bride was radiantly happy.
A CLINT of forgotten 'girlhood was
in her eyes, which. weree somehow
ia tFile misty. The groom walked
with the springy step Of man half
his age.
And so, as the story books say,
they were married. And a dream
that was dreamed under the light
of a Jupe moon thirty years ago,
came true.
