 VOTERS ON SUNDAY
Men Excluded From Audience Only Because All Room Is Needed for the Women
 Who Will Attend

Jerry Gwin, president of the Jefferson county board of revenue, has accepted the in- vitation of the Birmingham League of Women Voters to speak before the mass meeting of women to be held at the lief ferson theatre Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock.
 He has unofficially stated that he would be there. The league officials are expecting his formal acceptance ot the invitation to arrive in every mail Men have been barred from the meet ing. excepting only newspaper report CTS and those who will speak to the women on the subject of the recent controversy between the county grand jury and the head of the board of revenue.
 NEED THE ROOM
 Mrs. s. l.. Ledbetter, chairman of the league, announced that this step was | would not be crowded out.
 Although the programme has not been fully formulated, the committee plans to have one speaker explain the county government to the women, tell the functions of the grand jury and outline the duties of the county board of revenue and the restrictions that are placed on them with regard to the expenditure of the county funds.
 This will be followed by speeches from MT. Gwin and his representatives and then the side that the grand jury took will be outlined.
 WANT INFORMATION
 we have decided to make this a meeting strictly for women, not be- cause there is any objection to having the men, but because we feel that we need every inch of space for some woman who has not been sufficiently informed on the controversy and what it involves" said Mrs. w. D. Nesbitt. After all the meeting is solely for the purpose of enlightening the women. We feel that we should all hear both sides of the argument in open dis cussion."
