MRS. EGGERT IS ACTIVE
LICOLS HIGH LAD WHO HAS
LEADING ROLE IN "SYLVIA."
President Snds Out Campaign Let
ter in Her Race Against Sirs.
Spencer Contest to Cause
Division of Factions.
The election of officers of the Port
land woman s jiuo will be held tills
afternoon, and the test of the strength
of the insurgent and administration
tickets will be made. The po'ls will
open at 1:30 o'clock and cluoc at 3
o'clock. Mrs. Frederick Eggert, presi
dent of the organization, since an
nouncing her candidacy for director,
has sent out a circular letter, a "sug
gested ballot" and post card, asking
members to write her name on the
ballot as directed. This letter, ballot
and card were the result of the with
drawal of the name of Mrs. John Man
ning from the list of candidates and
the determination of Mrs. Eggert to
run against Mrs. J. D. Spencer for
directorship.
The insurgents say that the state
ment on the postal was a slur, and
that the slogan on the suggested bal
lot was an insult in that it required
of the clubwomen "unceasing fealty,"
which in their eyes savored of the
dark ages.
Mrs. Spencer has served as director
but was defeated at last year's elec
tion when she ran for the office of
auditor. She says that her refusal to
drop out of the race last Spring
aroused the antagonism of some of
the board and that the present feeling
against her is the result.
Friends Uphold Mrs. Spencer.
Mrs. Spencer's friends say that she
is a capable woman and In every way
qualified to hold office, and they assert
that her election would be for the good
of the club.
The "moderates" who have never
taken sides, state that they feel that
Mrs. Eggert's action in running for
office is a great mistake.
"It is contrary to club ethics for a
retiring president to force her name
on the ballot and use her office to
Influence an election," stated one who
has heretofore never taken sides.
"We think Mrs. Eggert has been a
good executive, but we also think Mrs.
G. J. Frankel, who will undoubtedly
be elected, will be Just as good. -We
appreciate Mrs. Eggert's good points,
but we are tired, of being treated like
school children," said a prominent
member.
"Mrs. Eggert in running for office
again may be doing it from a sense of
duty and for what she thinks are the
best interests of the club, but to the
insurgents It' seems to suggest that
she finds it hard to give up the right
o direct."
Feeling; Is Manifest.
The "feeling" in the Woman's Club
has been -acknowledged !ty many of
the members for a. long time, but it
was never made publicly manifest un
til March 27, when the nomination of
officers took place. Just prior to nom
inating day. the administration sent
out a suggested ballot, but did not
send it to Mrs. Spencer or to some of
her friends. This discrimination caused
them to get out a ticket of their own,
and the appearance of the two tickets
heralded the controversy that has since
created such a stir.
The ticket as presented follows:
For president, Mrs. G. J. Frankel;
for vice-president, Mrs. Robert C.
French, Mrs. Louise B. Trullinger; for
second vice-president, Mrs. James W.
Tifft, Mrs. G. L. Buland; for recording
secretary, Mrs. Chester, "W. Le Noir,
Mrs. P. L. Thompson; for correspond
ing secretary, Mrs. J. A. Pettit; for
financial secretary, Mrs. D. L. Povey;
for treasurer, Mrs. John Van Zante;
for auditor. Mrs. Bert M. Dennison;
for directors (vote for two), Mrs. Her
bert Garr Reed, Mrs. John Manning,
Mrs. J. D. Spencer.
"MACHIXE" TACTICS ASSAILED
Mrs. A. C. Xewill Asks "Just What
N- Is Loyalty to Club?"
PORTLAND, April 23. (To the Ed
itor.) The Woman's Club election has
assumed unusual proportions, and as a
member I have feeen iaterested in the
sentiments expressed in the election lit
erature. "Loyalty to our club" is a
pleasing phrase, but Just what does it
mean when it appears on the adminis
tration ticket? Is the club in reality
the "machine" that has controlled it for
so many years? Some of us are demo
cratic enough to believe that the club
should be all the members that com
pose the body rather than the two or
three that manipulate the machine.
We cannot see, moreover, how anyone
can claim to be loyal to the club and
at the same time make petulant attacks
on those who have the temerity to run
for office. How can a body of women
retain any dignity if club elections are
to be conducted on the Mexican plan
and those who want a change of ad
ministration are forced to fight for
their suffrage?
It is amusing to a well-informed club
member to read the administration dia
tribes on "disgruntled politicians" and
"insurgent tickets." They do well to
apostrophize harmony, but there never
has been harmony in the club since the
machine was organized many years ago,
and there never will be harmony as
long as self-respecting women are en
joined from expressing their own con
victions. The insurgents, so-called, are now, as
they always have been, fighting for the
principle of freedom of speech and
action, and it is hoped that all club
members who believe in fair play will
come out to the election and vote for
the "Insurgent" candidates.
MRS. A. C. NEWILL.
FUNDS NEEDED FOR SHOW
land Products Directors Lay Plans
to Una nee Exhibit.
Plans for financing the Land Prod
ucts Show in Portland next Fall were
discussed yesterday at a meeting be
tween a committee from the show pro
moters and the Gresham Fair Associa
tion. The representatives will go be
fore the County Commissioners today
to ask a further appropriation of $2000.
The Gresham Fair Association has
now about $8000. Of this sum $3000
was appropriated by the County Com
missioners. A part of the remainder,
the promoters of the Land Products
Show maintain, was intended for their
use, and was diverted through an er
ror in the drafting of the bill by the
Legislature.
Those who 'attended the meeting
were: H. A. Lewis, president of the
Plnlterton Plnk") Day,
Baritone.
Much interest is now being
manifested in the coming per
formance bf "Sylvia," an oper
etta to be given by the students
of the Lincoln High School in the
school auditorium. May 8 and 9.
This is the first time in several
seasons that any local school has
attempted to put on a similar
production. Miss Minnie Neme
rovsky is carrying the leading
feminine role, while Plnkerton
("Pink") Day, who created such a
sensation In the last minstrel
show of the school, is playing
opposite. "

CARE OF TEETH TAUGHT
Dental Society Gives Buekman Pu
pils Practical Dally Lessons.
Under the auspices of the Portland
Dental Society daily drills in the care
of the teeth and mouth are being given
in .the Buekman schoolhouse by Dr.
W, C, Adams, president. - Some time
ago Dr. Adams addressed the Parent
Teacher Association on the care of the
teeth, suggesting that these drills be
inaugurated.
The Board of Education installed a
long sink with pipes carrying run
ning water. On both sides of this sink
the classes line up for their tooth
brush drill every afternoon at 1 o'clock.
Dr. Adams gives the children instruc
tion in the use of the brushes, sup
plementing these instructions with
others on the care of the mouth.
Next week Dr. J. C. Jones, of the
dental society, will assist in giving
instructions. Later it is expected that
the teachers will be able to conduct
these drills. Outside educators have
become interested in these demonstra
tions. Pictures and descriptions of the
demonstration will be secured by J. H.
Mason for use at the Panama exhibition.
Girl Threatened Mother With Death
LEWISTON, Idaho, April 23. (Spe
cial.) That Grace Dillman, the 17-year-old
widow who committed suicide
five miles from Deary last week, had
threatened her mother with death Just
before the fatal shot was fired, has
been ascertained by persons who had
gone to the home of the girl's mother
to investigate into the circumstances of
the crime. It develops that the girl
had been despondent ever since the
tragic ending of her husband, who,
after killing a woman in a mine tun
nel 'near Harvard, shot himself, later
passing away in a Moscow hospital.
She became mentally unbalanced.
