Marion smiles at Governor Merriam as she offers him his membership card. Major Wishard stands on the other side of Marion and poses for the camera. Three questions the Women's Breakfast Club asked Governor Merriam were, "Before you marry will you consult the Women's Breakfast Club?" "Do you know that anything you say will be held against you?" and "Will you, at a moment's notice, come to a board meeting, a bridge-tea, a dance, and will you allow the whole breakfast club to come to the Governor's mansion as your guest at any time?" Text from newspaper caption: Gov. Frank Merriam, Mrs. Buron Fitts and Maj. Harry A. Wishard were the principals in an unusual scene yesterday morning at the Women's Breakfast Club. Mrs. Fitts, club president, presented the Governor with a gold card, representing honorary membership in the organization. Maj. Wishard, a friend of Gov. Merriam's since the two were members of the Legislature, looks on, approvingly. Text from negative sleeve: MERRIAM, FRANK F. CALIF. GOV. X 2
