Another resolution touching the controversy between the State Federation of Women's Clubs and the league and stating the league's attitude on negro membership stated "that, in spite of unpleasant pUD-licity, the league realizes that there is no clash between it and the federation. And that, the object of the league is education for citizenship; that this object is not limited by the color of the citizen and that the league therefore encourages the participation of colored women in all its activities and will always wish to include them in membership and that "therefore, since the league's constitution which permits membership of colored women, conflicts with that of the federation, we do not wish to embarrass the federation and hereby withdraw our affiliation." In addition to resolutions indorsing the national and State program of the league, a resolution was adopted indorsing the extension of the use of proportional representation.
