Refutes False Report
Mrs. Lowell F. Hobart, candidate
for election to the office of presi-
dent general, astonished the con-
gress shortly after it convened
when she asked permission to in
terrupt the usual business and re-
fute false rumors circulated about
her campaign.
She said that it was rumored to-
day that she had sold out the office
of chaplain general on her ticket
to secure stronger support.
Mrs. William Rock Painter, candi-
date for chaplain general on the
Hobart ticket. has been her friend
since the campaign. started, Mrs.
Hobart said. She added that Mrs.
Painter can be assured of her loyal
support until the campaign is over
and pleaded with the delegates to
support her ticket as a whole.
Then Mrs. BrOusseau launched
her attack at critics of the orgapi'
zation. She. challenged any person
who would vilify the character of
any of the candidates to come to
the platform and make the charges
publicly.
Since the campaign started dele
gates have whispered among them
selves that Mrs. Painter was the
one weak link in Mrs. Hobart's
slate and, if 1t appeared necessary
TO stave off defeat of the ticket,
she would be dropped.
This is absolutely untrue" said
Mrs. Hobart.

Thousands of delegates filed by
the polls all morning and Mrs. Bros.
seau repeatedly warned delegates to
take their time voting, stressing the
danger to elderly women in the mill

Both candidates were fighting a
