Club Women Open Brilliant Convention in Los Angeles
The club women’s convention opened in the Simpson auditorium amid 50,000 calla lilies with crowded attendance. Two debated questions were squelched before reaching the floor, one about admitting a delegate from a secret society and another about unseating Mrs. Roberts of Salt Lake City if she sought a delegate seat. Mrs. McMahon withdrew after credentials were granted but secret societies were ruled inadmissible. Mrs. Anna West from Massachusetts denied news of Mrs. Ruffin’s attendance. After invocations, welcomes by Gov Henry S. Age and Mayor Snyder were heard, and a reception closed the first day.
