Women Elect Committeeman

At the mass meeting of women
Tuesday for the purpose of elect.
ing a committeeman for the
Womens Democratic County
Committee Mrs. B. Hughes was
chosen by ballot for the repre-.
sentative for the township.
Mr.. M. W. Anderson, town.
ship committeeman for this twp.
called the meeting to order Tues
day afternoon, stated the object
of the meeting and informed the
women present in much greater
number then the leaders of the
woman's movement had expect
ed, that the committeewoman
selected by those present would
hold the Office until Novr. 1920
at which time her successor
would be chosen by ballot at the
primary election.
There were four names propos-
ed for committeewoman, either
of whom would have made a fine
representative for the new addi-
tion to voting ranks, but Mrs.
B. Hughes had the greater num-
Der of votes. She made a splen.
ded address in acknowledgment
of the nonor and added much to
the enthusiasm of the voters pres
ent. M. W. Anderson was
chosen to act as chairman of the
meeting and of course the pro-
ceedings were regular. Mrs. C.
F. Lamkin was secretary.
The assembling OF the women
chosen over the county will be at
the court house Aug. 10. We
have been unable to get the
names of those chosen from
townships in the county
but in case any are missing, the
convention on the 10th will sup
