PLAN TO
NORE MEEKER
Seventh District Club May
Hold Candidates Meeting
without Chairman.

The inability Of Thomas S. Meeker,
Democratic city chairman, to maintain
party harmony was demonstrated again
today, as members OF the Seventh Dis
tr1ct Democratic Women's Club discussed
plans to invite Democratic city candi-
dates 20 2 meeting OF the club at the
Indiana Democratic Club next Friday
evening and ignore the city chairman.
This is regarded as another move in
the battle between Meeker and Miss Julia
z. LAnders, president OF the seventh
district club.
Mr. Meeker refuses to recognize Miss
Landers, telling his friends that he re-
cards her as s disruping influence. Miss
Landers opposes Meeker because he a2-
pointed Mrs. Grace Jackson BodenmilIer
as women's organizer with a desk IN
city headquarters instead Of allowing the
club women a voice in the perfecting OF
the organization
The idea Of calling the meeting and
falling TO invite Meeker was sprung at
a meeting Of the executive committee OF
the club at the Indiana Democratic Club
Friday eTening. The club women in
sist that most Of the Democratic city
candidates have Endorsed their plan. Mrs.
Martha Toh Marson. candidate for city
cierAt ana MIS- Aduue ShL' AAtLioiA o
aSpirant TO the city council attended the
executive committee session as members.
Mrs. Martin L. Reifel also was at the
meeting She resigned as wOnen's city
chairman several weeks ago, stating that
she could not get the cooperation OF
Mseker.
Boyd n. Ra1ston. Democratic nominee
for mayor, is backing Meeker in his
stand for q combined organization Of
men and women. The Seventh District
CluE IS dtspleased because it has had
no voice IN such an organization.
