its called meeting at the court house
here Monday afternoon, to partici-
pate in the general mass meeting,
which the committee called for Sat
urday afternoon, May %, at the court
house and were promised equal inter
est in conducting the Democratic af-
fairs Of the county. The welcome to
the party extended the women by the
committee is extremely cordial. All
the members seemed pleased that
their county women are to have a
part in the franchise of the nation,
and several present on Monday ex-
pressed themselves accordingly.
The Democratic mass meeting for
May 20, is called to provide method
for selecting party delegates to the
Democratic State Convention at
Nashville June 5 when the state DEM
ocratic platform will be drafted, and
delegates to the National Democratic
Convention at San Francisco June 20
chosen.
Il is understood that at the mass
meeting, the county committee will
also be reorgamized, and that it will
either be enlarged so as to give the
Democratic women representation on
it, or the present number will be
mixed. It was suggested that the
present committeeman from each dis
trict report at the mass meeting the
ladies from their districts interested
in politics, and the several ladies who
were present at the meeting ON Mon
day were also asked to report the
nannes Of interested women. The
remark was made by one present,
however, "That there are but few
women in Henry County, who are
not interested in Democratic poll
tics"
The following resolution was adop-
ted at the meeting last Monday:
Whereas, The State Democratic
Executive Committee, in session at
Nashville in March 1920, ordered the
various County Executive Committees
to meet on May %, 1920, and devise
ways and means of selecting delegates
to represent their respective Coun-
ties in the State Democratic Conven-
tion to be held in Nashville June g.,
1920; and,
Whereas, it appears to the Com
mittee that the most practical and
efficient plan for selecting said del
egates in Henry County is by Coun-
ty Mass Convention of all Democrats
of the County;
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Democratic Executive Committee for
Henry County, in session at Paris,
Tenn, on this, May 3, 1920, prr-
suant to the call of che chairman
that Mass Convention of all the
Democrats of Henry County, Tenn,
including the Democratic women of
the county be and is hereby called to
meet at the court house In Paris,
Tenn, on Saturday, May %, 1920,
at / o'clock p. m. for the purpose of
selecting delegates to represent Hen
ny County in the State Democratic
Convention to be held in Nashville,
June 8, 1920, and for the transac-
tion of such other business as may
properly come before the County
Mass Convention.
