JUNE 7, 1928

WOMEN WILL PLAY PABT IN G. O.PJARLEY Some Already Have Grown Into Real Leaders in Politics. BY RODNEY DUTCIIER NEA Service Writer (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) WASHINGTON, June 7.—Year by year women are learning more about practical politics and slowly increasing their influence in that sphere. They will be more important in 1928 than ever before and the Republican national convention at Kansas City will demonstrate that a small number of them have developed as real political leaders. They know better how to get what they want. There will be fewer women delegates at Kansas City than at Cleveland in 1924. The count on a list of delegates selected in forty States, just compiled by the Republican national committee, gives about sixty-five feminine delegates—of whom nearly forty are delegates-afc-large—and 240 alternates. Women on Platform Group The other eight States probably won’t raise the total women delegates above seventy-five or eighty at the most, or the alternates to 250, so that women will have less than the 10 per cent voting voice they had in 1924. The only possible cat(*h in these figures lies in the possibility that some women delegates were reported chosen without designation of sex—hardly likely. In 1924 there were 120 ReioubMcan women delegates and 279 alternates. A dozen or two women had fractional votes, however, and the same will be true this year. The influence of the women at Kansas City will be most felt, through the parts some of them have p'layed in the pre-convention campaigns and which will be continued in the convention and the group movements of others who arc primarily interested in issues of a humanitarian or reform nature. Large squads of women will appear before the platform committee. Demand Dry Plank On the two davs immediately before the convention, the Women's National Committee for Law Enforcement will meet at Kansas City to demand a dry platform plank and a dry candidate. The acknowledged oueen of the women politicians will be a Lowden leader. This is Mrs. Medill McCormick, a delegate-at-large from Illinois and recently nominated for congresswoman-at-large. She is a better politican than many of tlfmale brand and a distinct asset to Lowden. Os the three Republican congresswomen. only Mrs. Katherine Langley of Kentucky is a delegate. Mrs Florence Kahn of California and Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts have been active in the Hoover pre-convention fight. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth will be at the convention, but only as a spectator. Mrs. Longworth dotes on national conventions and probably will get as much of a kick out of this one as anyone els? except the nominee. W. D. Long, 2227 N. Meridian St., will leave Saturday for Bloomington, 111., to attend the fourth annual international convention of Williams Oil-O-Matic Heating Corporation dealerse and distributors.
