+ 80 to the state democratic women's
convention at Oklahoma City yes

ed to oppose any man for senator

owen for president.
There were about 400 women
from over the state present at the
meeting and reports from the con
vention hall are that the. women
performed in true convention style
IS if they had been accustomed to
holding political conventions and
powwows for years.
One Of the important points that
was stressed at this meeting was
ne fact that the women Of Oklaho-
IA expect some representation in
he state democratic convention to
le held in Muskogee on February ).
rhe convention was conducted pure
Y along educational lines and the
women made it plain that they de-
sired an amalgamation of the wo-
mems and mems organizations in
the democratic party in Oklahoma.
One Chickasha woman, after re-
turning from the convention, said
Il believe the democratic men of
Grady county understand that the
women desire representation ON the
delegation that is named at the dem
ocratic meeting Of Grady county
next Saturday. The point should be
stl essed that the women desire to
work with the men in this move
ment, and while they do not wish
to dominate the convention, it is the
desire of the women's organization
hat some of their number be in
cluded in the list Of delegates from
Grady county to attend the state
meeting"
