She Is one OF the su unniest OF the dele gates
and she believes that the women know a
lot and are coming into their own. but
that the men are wise once and desire
to keep woman down.
Il have changed my mind about the
Ohio situation. she said; 1T was not a fair
test to the women The women did not
have a say. They did not vote for it
