KANSAS WOMEN IN OFFICE.
Many Have Been County Oniclals, Espe.
cially In western Part Of State.
m thc Kansas .Ciiv Journal.

From the KaHsas .City Journal.
The appointment, Of Mrs. Levi Cooper as
Probate Judge Of Mitchell county By Gov.
Hoch and the discussions that resulted from
this appointment have developed the fact
that nearly every kind OF Office in the State
except state ofioes has one or more woman
occupant.
Mrs. Cooper Is the only woman In the State
who is serving as Probate Judge. However
there is one woman County Attorney In Kan
sas. Miss Gala Helmllne is serving her third
term as County Attorney Of Seward county.
Western Kansas has had several women
County Attorneys. but the custom never ap-
pears to have become popular In the eastern
part OF the state. In Norton county Kate
johnson has Just completed term as County
Treasurer. There are half dozen or more
County Registers OF Deeds In the State and
probably thirty women County Superinten-
dents Of Schools. -
So far as is known there are no women In
Kansas serving as clerks Of the District courts
or County Commissioner However, several
have served as Mayors Of cities. In several
instances there have been women candidates
for State. Superintendent OF Public InstFuo-
ton, but they were not elected.
The Socialists at their recent convention In
Topeka nominated Girard woman for State
Superintendent In spite Of strong speech
made against It by her husband.
