by acknowledge our debt of gratitude
to the Mems Democratic State Com
mittee for the granting of the privi-
leges of equal representation and a

ton and unqualified approval Of his
actions and pledge our support in car

eve rejoice that our first entry in
to politics was under the auspices of

so just and unprejudiced and with such
high ideals that the Democratic Wo-
men of Missouri were not forced to
take the stand that was necessary,
recently in the Republican State Con-
vention.
I'VE further rejoice that we have
the opportunity to be supporters of
the man, who, more than any other,
is responsible for the right of repre-
sentation having been conferred upon
Democratic women in time for them
to take part in the party mass meet
ings and conventions. We commend
him for his loyalty to the President
and to the principle of World Peace,
and for his conspicuous and able SER
vice rendered to his country, his
State and his party, during his term
of service as chairman of the State
Committee.
Resolved, that we do hereby de-
clare our allegiance to the Hon. Ben
M. Neale, and heartily endorse him
