In congress as representative from
' Oklahoma, Intends TO seek another
torn. She proposes to SO before
the electorate OF her state. despite
the mt that certain progressive
women have trcid to weaken her by

Here is a letter from distressed

she has three small children and In
expecting another one soon. She
cannot leave them TO go TO n hospital
and IL will cost 800 to bring doc

possible to get any assistance through
this new legislation she would ike

81 havo Just figured UP that on
per capita basis for the mothers or
her state the governments funds
would allow her 20 cents. pre-
sumo sho might buy some pamphlets
from the government with thnt
money, but as for providing her

Thai they had entered politics ON the
fjfty-fifty basis. that they were not
entitled to any special polltical CON
