Seattle Women Eye National Office in WCTU Meeting
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union planned its key Wednesday session around electing national officers. Margaret C. Munno, Western Washington corresponding secretary, was a leading candidate for national treasurer to fill the post left vacant by Elizabeth Hutchinson. The group also reserved time for a diamond medal oratory contest and a discussion on running a campaign. The Chicago mayor’s reception boosted North Side support for prohibition efforts and Washington, D. C. was tipped as the 1916 convention city pending congressional action. Adjourning Thursday night, members anticipated further talks on the national push for prohibition.
