close at hand, the various candidates
have had their "cabinets"-that is, the
names of the women who would run
for the other national offices on the
same ticket-ready for public an
nouncement Interest in the CAM
paign has developed so late. however
that neither Mrs. Brosseau nor MRS.
Nash has yet completed a ticket TO
the point Of being ready to publish II
in full.
Mrs. Brosseau definitely announced
yesterday that Mrs. Eli y. HelmlcK
of the District OF Columbia, Mrs. LlV-
ingston Rowe Schuyler Mrs. Horace
NJ. Farnham, Mrs. Joseph S. trellng-
huysen. Mrs. Lowell Fletcher Hobart
and MISS Alice Louise McDuttle had
accepted positions on her ticket Four
more posts remained to be tiled, ana
Il was said these would be announced
by this evening.
Mrs. NaSh's Candidacy.
So far as could be learned. Mrs.
Nash is not yet ready to announce
any OF her running mates. Although
Mrs. Nash could not be reached per
sonallv. those who are close to her
repeated last night that her ticket
p was not yet ready for announcements.
7 Her own candidacy was announced
. only a few weeks ago by NUMBER OF
chapters in New York State, and until
( that time there were no candidates
out for the office, the highest within
the gift of the national society.
. The only rumor to stir this placid
scene was one that both Mrs. Nash
and Mrs. Brosseau would retire from
Al Ia
Mrs. Cook TO remain in office, sltu-
alton that could be realized only II
there were no candidates in the Held.
The bylaws of the society provide
that a president general may not sue
ceed to a second successive term II
she is opposed by a single candidate.
Mrs Brosseau is understood to have
z the entire Endorsement of the present
administration. She is running on
"coalltio ticket which is reputed
TO have considerable strength. Mrs.
: SCHUYLER was formerly president of
! the Daughters Of the Confederacy
and has a large following in the
South while Mrs. Farnham and Mrs.
. Frelinghuysen will poll many votes
from among the delegates from the
North. Miss McDuffie. Mrs. Helmick
and Mrs. Hobart are all tremendously
popular and regarded as hard work
ers" for the society.
Mrs. Brosseau was prevailed upon
TO run for Office at the eleventh hour.
After consistently refusing in the
hope that Mrs Cook might be retain
cd, she accepted only about week
ago, and hence her inability to com
plete her ticket sooner. Mrs. Wallace
g. w. Hangar OF the District OF Co
lumbia, who opposed Mrs. COOK three
years ago, is understood to have been
invited to become candidate again,
but it is said she declined, announcing
her intention of supporting Mrs. Bros
seau. should she remain candidate.
Completion Of Building.
Probably the outstanding task be-
fore the Thirty fifth Congress will be
the immediate completion Of Constitu-
ton Hall, the new auditorium the So
ciey is to build in the rear of Memo
rial Continental Hall. The latter Is
now too small to seat all of the dele
gates to the continental congresses of
the society. and for that reason 1t is
necessary to meet again this year in
the Washington Auditorium.
Mrs. Cook has been the guiding
spirit in plans to erect the new hall as
quickly as possible, and 1t is generally
accepted that, in retiring from office
Of president general, she will not be
permitted to relinquish her identifica-
ton with the committee that has the
building program in charge. Mrs.
Cook will read a special report on the
work of this committee on Tuesday.
and tomorrow afternoon the delegates
vii go to dedicate the site,
All OF the traditional ritual that
has marked the opening session Of a
Continental Congress of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution will
be present tomorrow. At 10 O'Clock.
Arthur S. Witcomb of the United
States Marine Band will sound his
bugle and the pages will escort the
national officers to the platform. An
added bit of color this year will be
the presence of the fife and drum
corps of the Girl Scouts of Mount
Holyoke, Mass, at the head of the
procession.
Mrs. Rhett Goode, the chaplain gen.
eral, will lead the prayer, and Mrs.
John Miller Horton will lead the sa-
Lutte to the flag. William Tyler Page
will recite the Americans creed, and
this will be followed by the presenta-
ton of greetings from other patriotic
societies. Musical selections by Ntsss
Edythe Marmion Brosius will be fol-
lowed by the address of the president
general and the Thirty-fifth Continen-
tai Congress will be in full swing, to
remain in session morning, afternoon
