Tho Southern contingent will throw Its
trctijtth to Mre. Denim Hroohenhrldse,
Lexington. Ky., for the presidency.
Tho caucus Inst ntuht wrm thrown Into
a claBh of factions ly the refusal of Dr,
Anna Howard Shaw to accept olllco nn

Tcaco nflvecaten submitted a clnlp for

No selection for first vlco president wns
made becnuso Mrs. Oraco Wilbur Trout,
ChicaRo, Illinois president, Is being Im
portuned to take that ofllec.
Unless early forecasts shall provo fftlll
clous, tho battlo that will break over
the convention when the merits of tho
two suffrage amendments now beforo
Congress como up for discussion will bo
the greatest In the history of tho or
fenlzatlon. Dr. Anna Shaw and tho "administra
tion" favor tho Bhafroth amendment,
nubmltteil to Conirtras by the Colora lo
Senator, and providing that tho question
of ballots for women bo submitted to
each State by Initiative petition. Tho
Congressional union, tho younnor school
of suffragists, favors tho Urlstow-Mon-dell
amendment, nlso known as tho
"Susnn B. Anthony" amendment, provid
ing votes for women by amendment of
tho Federal Constitution. The union
holds that tho Shafroth amendment Is
complicated and unnecessary.
This Is by no means the only question
over which the union and the administra
tion disagree. Tho union frankly urges
the detent of Democratic Congressmen,
unless openly for woman suffrage, on the
ground that tho Democratic party ns the
party In power. Is responsible for tho
.failure of women to obtain tho vote. The
administration forces desire to maintain
tho non-partisan character of tho nsso
elahon at any cost nnd Insist that suc
cess will crown their efforts ultimately
without such militant political methods.
A. street parade, In which many South
ern society leaders will participate. Is to
to one of tho features of this yenr's con
vention. Another event will be a barbe

JBJH
GRANGE MEMBERS
DIVIDED ON METHOD
OF CO-OPERATION
Proposal to Establish Selling
Agencies Arouses Discus
sion in Which Expert Will
Be Asked to Lead.
WILMINGTON, Nov, 12. That granges
in the various State a are doing excellent
work nnd that farmers are coming to ro
allzo the advantage of this form of organ
ization was the tenor of cports submitted
to tho National Grange today.
These reports occupied the morning ses
sion, having been contlnuod from yester
day. One of tho subjects for discussion at this
meeting is co-opcrntlo-.i, not c ly In buy
ing supplies, but nlso In selling products.
The report of National Master Oliver
Wilson nt tho previous session dwelt on
this subject, but favored th- establish
ment of bureaus of Information to give
advice as to best markets and best meth
ods of marketing rather than selling
ngcnclcs.
The report of tho master was followed
by an Interesting address by John C.
Ketcham, of Hast lgs, Mich, who Is much
Interested In this mcthcJ. Such an Im
pression was made It was deemed nd
visablo to have an address by an e' pert
on the co-operative plan, and such o
spcnkT will be obtained to mnke an ad
dress beforo the session Is over.
The various features 01 tho report of
tho National Master will go to appropri
ate committees for consideration, nnd rec
ommendations wl be mnde later In the
session as to tho action deemed advis
able. One portion of the address which Is
attracting considerable attention con
cerns good roads. Though the master de
clared In favor of good roads without
national aid, he was of the opinion that
such roads ought to be built by the States
iind local divisions with Government aid,
asserting they should be paid for at once
rather than Issue bonds and make the
roads a debt for posterity to pay,
BANCROFT MISSED.
There Is general regret that at this
Besslon F. C, Bancroft, master of the
Delaware Stata Grange, who had much to
do with bringing tho grange to Delaware
for Hh meeting, lr unable to be present.
He has been severely ill with typhoid
fever at his home In Wyoming nnd is Just
recovering. The grange expressed Its re
gret at his Inability to be present and
sent a message ot sympathy to him. Mr.
Bancroft was to have been in charge of
the conferring of the sixth degree at
tho meeting this evening. His place will
be taken by Harvey Walker, another
prominent member of the State grange.
Forty candidates received tho fifth de
gree last night and there will be a num
ber far the sixth degree this evening.
The seventh degre on Friday night will
be tho big ceremony. This degree will be
conferred In the Playhouse.
It Is believed there will be 0000 people
here tomorrow, which Is expected to be
the big day of the session.
Tho hearing of reports from the Stoto
granges will take most of the time to
day, as only a small number of the SI
Htates having such bodies have so far re
ported. One of the most Interesting reports so
far made was that of B. Frank Klack,
master ot the Maryland State grange.
That State has been successful In or
ganizing four new granges in tne course
of tho year.
Suffragists today opened a booth In the
grange headquarters In the Hotel Du
Pont. Tho Anti-Woman Suffragists al
ready had quarters there, and In orde,r
not to show partiality, suffrage advocates
were Invited to come. It was mado plain,
however, that the National Grange Is not
committed either to votes for women or
Grace : The girls are all talking
about it. Ask them!

WOMAN TREASURER REPORTS.
Mrs. Eva McDowell, treasurer of the
National Grange, made her annual report
on tho financial condition of the order last
evening. Mrs. McDowell, who comes from
Massachusetts, occupies a novel position
In tho Grange. Her husband was the
first treasurer of the national body, nnd
at his death sho was elected to the posi
tion. Sho has served the body most ac
ceptably. Sho Is now completing her 21th
consecutive term.
Only ono national ofllccr will be elected
at this session. This will be n member
ot tho executive committee, who will be
chosen on Tuesday. It Is expected there
will be a lively contest for this office. An
attempt nlso will be made later on to
change the apportionment of delegates so
that States with a large number of
Granges and n largo membership in tho
order will have more dclogntes to tho nn
tlonal body than the smaller States.
This afternoon the womon members of
the delegation were taken on an auto
mobile ride to tho various points of In
terest nbout the city.
Tho women were also Invited to a tea
at the Wilmington Country Club Satur
day afternoon.
