The executive committee is made up Mrs. Murry Nelson, Jr., chairman; Mrs. James F. Porter, secretary; and Miss Ethel Mason, treasurer. Among the women actively identified with the cause are Mrs. Morris Lieber, Mrs. Phillip Post, Mrs. Lorenzo Johnston, Mrs. George Higginson, Jr., Mrs. Edward B. Burrling and Mrs. Cuthbert Adams.

Thomson of the Tweny-fifth ward, Chicago, Harold Ickes of Evanston, chairman of the state central committee, and Frank Funk, candidate for governor.
