pioneering, not only for candidates for
the offices in the Woman's Kansas
Day club, but also for administrative
positions in the ether large women's
organizations of the state, because
women, Influential in club life thru
out the state, attend the annual meet
ing, where there is time for the dis
cussion of the political possibilities
and no end of chance for cooking
up plots.
The men tell US how the women, in
their sheltered homes, out of touch
with the sordid details of everyday
business and political affairs, are not
fitted for participation in the game of
politics, which is too Shiny for them
to wade into. One who has watched
their maneuvers from some point of
vantage, is constrained to smile in
thinking of the unsophisticated, un-
initiated, childlike ignorance of these
women in wire pulling action, placing
themselves or their friends in posi-
tons of leadership. 1t is a battle of
wits that is perfectly legitimate, of
times, considering that the jobs are
mostly honorary.
