Hot Fight Waged by Daughters in Taft Society Row
Washington April 12. Mrs Taft is not a candidate for president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution nor a member. Rumors say she would run to complicate administration affairs. Mrs Draper and Mrs Ammon Draper discuss the issue, praising women of ability but denying any candidacy for Mrs Taft. The contest centers on Mrs Matthew T Scott and Mrs William Cummings Story, backed by insurgents, with both sides confident of victory. A letter of support signed by seven chapter regents circulates for Mrs Scott, while insurgents plan a committee for the good of the order. The conservatives claim access to records is blocked and suspect bias ahead of the April 19 convention.
