SEVERAL WOMEN EJECTED
'.Protests Against Denial of Voting
Ilesented Mrs. W. P. Harper,
of State of Washington, Is
Elected Auditor.
V
NEW TORK, June 1. Mrs. Josiah
Evans Cowles. of Los Angeles, has
been elected president ol the General
Kederatlon of Women's Clubs by a
large majority, defeating: Mrs. Samuel
B. Sneath. of Tiffin, O.
The . vote taken yesterday and an
nounced today showed that Mrs. Cowles
received 1273 ballots against 433 for
Mrs. Sneath. The other officers elected
are:
P'lrst vice-president. Miss Georgie A.
Bacon, of Worcester, Mass.; second
vice-president. Mrs. Eugene Reilly,
Charlotte, N. C: recording secretary,
Mrs. Carrie A. McFarland. South Da
kota; corresponding secretary, Mrs.
1'rancis D. Everett, of Illinois; treas
urer, no choice, directors to elect to
morrow; auditor, Mrs. W. P. Harper,
of the state of Washington.
By a two-thirds majority the Feder
ation voted to affiliate with the Na
tional Council of Women, which in turn
is a member of the International Coun
cil of Women.
Several women were ejected from
the meeting because of their protests
when they were denied the right to
ote on this question.
The women who were not permitted
to vote had no credentials as delegates.
Although It was announced that Mrs.
M. B. Williams, of Michigan, had re
ceived a plurality of the votes for
treasurer over Mrs. Charles H. Mc
Mahon. of Utah, and Mrs. William B.
Toung. of Florida, delegates raised the
point that she did not have a majority,
as required under the constitution. The
election of a treasurer was then re
ferred to the new board of directors.
The federation adopted a resolution
today in favor of a broader applica
tion of the Federal civil service pension
system, and amended the bylaws of the
organization so that no officer shall
be eligible to two consecutive terms,
no two officers shall be from the same
state, and in case of a vacancy occur
ring, empowering the board of directors
to designate a member to serve until
the next convention.

with the result of the election. Mrs.
Cowles is dignified, tactful, capable and
she will make a president that Ameri
can women may well be proud to look
up to. She will. I believe, create In
every club, small as well as large a
deeper interest in the federation. She
is a woman of splendid achievements
and she deserves the honor accorded

Mrs. Frederick Eggert. past presi
dent of the Portland Woman's Club,

the biennial for San Francisco and it

tion of her unselfishness."

dents of local clubs and others in
