MEETING DEMOCRATIC WOMEN

The Importance of the work of the jirecinct committeeman was the topic emphasized at the regular meeting of the Democratic Women’s School of Citizenship, which met as usual the first Friday in the month. It is the precinct chairman who comes in direct contact witli the voter and it is this important officer who is responsible for the large or small vote in the precinct. If the 20 women have been selected to fill the office of precinct chairmen in this county will “ge't busy” and learn what their duties are and then perform them it will be possible to bring the desired educational material to every individual in the county. The issues of this campaign are very different from those of any previous time and every patriotic American woman should do all possible to know her duty as a citizen. Mrs. Alfred Hoover gave an interesting talk on the personal benefit to be derived from active participation in political affairs. A suggestion was made that each member bring newspaper and magazine ar. tides to be exchanged. The room full of ladies present showed an earnest desire to do their part in arousing others to the importance of the work. The next meeting will be held the third Friday in the month in the east room of the court house at 2:30 p. m. MRS. JNO. I. GWIN, Chairman Tenth District.
