Election of Officers Marks Frenzied Finale at Federation
At Los Angeles on May 8 the General Federation of Women's Clubs wrapped its sixth biennial with a dramatic officer slate and a retiring president Mrs Nebeca Lowe of Georgia. The ballot accepted the nominating committee report naming Mrs Davies T Denison of New York as president and included a lively floor clash over Mrs Decker of Colorado, who declined the honor amidst cheers and clashes over names. The convention also settled charter issues and moved toward child labor law aims while planning a future hall of philanthropy with debate over a $100000 contribution. The day closed with a memorial for Mrs Jennie Crowly and a biannual address by Mrs Lowe as 500 delegates prepared to tour Pasadena.
