members of the legislature will urge
men of county prominence because OF
local pride.
1t has been suggested that Davis
and Lincoln. If selected for the Hall
of Fame, should be sent in by ILL
nols and Mississippi, but Illinois has
already made her selection and Lin
coin is omitted, and no other state
could chose him as a son.
Women are not debarred from the
Hall of Fame, but It is improbable
that any woman will be selected by
Kentucky for the honor
Frances NJ. willard is one of the
few women whose statues now adorn
the hall. Kentucky has. of course,
produced great women; in fact, 1t has
produced few women who we're not
intrinsically great. but none of them
rank so high above all others that
among Kentucky women
could be made.
