WOMAN CANDIDATE
FOR PARLIAMENT
w SIS
(By Associated Press)


Kcighely, England, April 20.-(By
Mail. )-The first woman candidate
for parliament, Miss Nina Boyle of
the Voters leaugue, has been refused
a nomination on the ground that each
of the two nomination papers handed
in by her contained the name of a
man whose name does not appear on
the Keighley register.
Previously Miss Boyle appeared be-
fore the returning officer who stated
he had received instructions from the
sheriff to admit her nomination with
out question, provided it was proper
ly signed, so her rejection appears to
be the result only of a strangers
name appearing on the paper.
Miss Boyle said she considered that
a "moral triumph" had been achieved
for women, as she had been informed
that her nomination ordinarily would
have been acceIted.
"While ] am disappointed" she con-
tinued, "that a fluke of this kind mas
prevented actual nomination, it mat

ed to withdraw. NJ purpose in ,om-

ing to Keighley was simply to test
our right to nomination. My test has
been successful
"Unless parliament decides the
question Of women entering the House
Of Commons, it will mean that many
women will secure nominations and,
if elected, there will ben an illimita-
bic number of election petitions in op-
position to their return, bringing con-
fusion in it's train"
The result of her experience, Miss
Boyle asserted, would be of great en-
couragement to all women's political
organizations throughout the country.

BIG CROWD
Lyceum Season Opened Here by
Georgian, Who Delivers Fa-
nous Lecture on Dead
Lions.

The Oklahoma College for Women
lyceum course was opened last night
when DR. Lincoln Mcconnell deliver
ed his famous lecture, Dead Lions, ~
in the college auditorium An audi
ence Of practically three hundred stu.
dents and townspeople listened with
intense interest to the humorous ana
philosophical address by the re-
nowned lecturer.
Dr. Mcconnell was introduced by
President G w Austin of the college
The speaker opened his address by
explaining the origin of the lecture
and its savage title The basis or
the lecture was formulated around
the experience of Sampson, B. C.,
who walked down the path to the
vineyards of Timmath, where he
was to engage a wife, when, behold,
a young lion roared against him
Bold, strong-hearted and with the al
mighty spirit, Sampson rent the lion
as he would kid and he had
nothing in his hand After victory,
he went down to the city, talked ana
won the lady for a wife, Dr. McCon-
nell said
Sandwtching humor with philoso-
ply, the Georgian continued with a
strictly modern lecture, pointing out
the road to victory and success and
the one to downfall fully illustrating
characteristics Of each; how Thomas
A. Edison and others, stupid indolent
pupils, staged brilliant comeback
after being classed as hopeless fail
ures. The faults and features Of the
optimists and pessimsts were also
reviewed by Dr. Mcconnell without,
according to many, lone omission.
"Ah, il / were only young again to
profit by the many of the worlds Of
ferings in this period of re-construc-
tion, this re-birth of the world" DR.
Mcconnell said "Of course, am
delighted to be capable of lecturing
before this audience tonight, but |
would surely make hay out of the
innumerable opportunities now being
offered young America. if | could re
call many seasons" he continued.
The address was frequently inter
rupted by applause and laughter
IAN excellent lecture, "One of tho
most enlightening and enjoyable
talks l have heard for many years,
