new State committee after the primary.
The resolution inviting women to par
ticipate follows:

courages and invites Republican women
to participate in all party activities and
encourages women to become candidates
for such offices as they are qualified to
fill, particularly encouraging them to
become candidates for precinct commit
teemen and delegates to the State con-
ventiOn."
The question before the committee as
to women's part in the affairs of the
party had to do with whether they were
to be made a part Of the official State
organization, or whether they were to
have an organization of their own. This
is the question that was passed on to
the next State committee. 1t was ex-
planned the present State committee did
not wish to bind the new committee in
matters Of organization.
The committee decided to follow its
policy in 1920 and provided for a plat
form committee of fifty to act as an
advisory committee to the resolution com
mittee in the State convention. Each dis
trict chairman is to appoint two mem
bers of the committee and the State chair
man was authorized to appoint the re-
naming twenty -four.
