TIIF WOMAN IN POLITICS

Woman in politics has come ~

holder and as a being endowed with

breathing active factor in the man.
agement of the government. And she
IS here, as politician. with both
feet.
Even before the constitution of the
state Of Oklahoma was so amended
as to grant the right of franchise TO
women, we had women who We're
holding offices in several Oklahoma
counties. They were elected because
they were qualified TO discharge the
duties Of the offices they sought,
and the political history OF the state
shows that they made good.
With the advent OF the typewriter,
the mechanical penman of this day,
came the woman into the offices Of
municipal, county and state affairs.
They came, first as copyists, then as
stenographcrs. later as deputies, and
finally as principals. And they have
made good i'll every one OF those
places.
Formerly when it became necessary
for a woman TO become self-support'

limited and circumscribed by most
narrow horizon. She had her choice

singing hash and jerking coffee; OF
going behind the counter in some
store, at low wage. or of teaching
school for niggardly stipend.

WHAT Is THE OBJECTION?

Mayor Freeman. acting upon the
advice Of City Attorney Mason, has
declined to call an election wherein
the people of Ardmore shall have a
chance TO decide upon a change from
the present, or commission form to
the managerial form of government.
1t is not for The Ardmoreite to
say what the law in this case may be,
but inasmuch as City Attorney Mason,
in his written opinion. did not say
that the mayor could not, legally, call
,he election, it seems TO US that some
one is splitting hairs and following
tschnicalities in the matter, just to
see to II that the matter is delayed
as much as possible and that the
people Of Ardmore be kept. through
dilatory measures. from voicing their
sentiments and expressing their wishes
in the premises.
Why is il, We ask, that the mayor
and the city attorney or anyone else
should seek TO keep this question
from coming before the qualified vot-
ers, men and women, of the city Of
Ardmore? Is it possible that any one
man. or any body Of men Of this city
can be so undemocratic as to oppose
the Democratic axiom, ''let the people
rule?"
There can be no question, judging
from conditions as the present city
administration says they now exist,
but that Ardmore needs a firm busi-
needs someone qualified as a business
man, to take hold of the public af-
fairs and pull the city out Of the
