D. A. R.

At the 33rd Continental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution:

P: Eight Vice Presidents General were elected for a three-year term: Miss Anne W. Lange, Dallas, Ore.; Mrs. Paul Duane Kitt, Chillicothe, Mo.; Mrs. Logan S. Gillentine, Murfreesboro, Kan.; Miss Amy Gilbert, State Center, Iowa; Mrs. Norval Smith, Warren, Ariz.; Mrs. Edith Scott Magna, Holyoke, Mass.; Mrs. T. W. Spence, Milwaukee.

P: Miss Jenn Coltrane, North Carolina candidate for Vice President General, was defeated by five votes. In 1921 Miss Jenn made a report as Historian General to the Continental Congress. In this report she made a list of "notable Presidents," including the names of Washington, Lincoln, Harding. She did not mention Woodrow Wilson. Southern delegates took offense at this slight to the War President. Mrs. Franklin Cain, of South Carolina, was elected by a vote of 818 to 813.

P: Representative Albert Johnson of Washington addressed the Congress on immigration. Two resolutions endorsing the Immigration Bill had been tabled by the Daughters of the American Revolution pending Mr. Johnson's address. Said he: "Madame President and ladies : Our new immigration legislation, passed by decisive votes in each house, is America's second Declaration of Independence."

P: Mrs. Robert Lansing, wife of Woodrow Wilson's former Secretary of State, spoke on "International Relations" ; Miss Alice Louise McDnffee spoke on Americanization; Mrs. L. Grant Baldwin spoke on "Better Films."

P: The inevitable Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant U. S. Attorney General, spoke on Prohibition. General Pershing made a brief, soldierly plea for military training. Sir Esme Howard paid tribute to Lincoln. M. Jules Jusserand reflected on his life in the U. S. President Coolidge asked women to vote.

P: Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, grand old dame of the convention, President- General of the D. A. R., pronounced prophetic syllables regarding Prohibition. "Are we to receive our principles from the eminence of a soap box? Are the guarantees of free speech and of a free press to deliver us to malicious slander ? Is liberty to become license ? No, a thousand times no! Prohibition is the will of the people, and shall prevail. The Volstead Act will never be repealed!"
