To SUFFRAG|ST
Women Have Better Chance of
Holding Office There, Says
Memphis Educator.
BY MILDRED NORRIS,
international News Service,

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-"If you have
political aspirations, go South. young
woman
That was the advice today Of Miss
Charl Ormond Williams. of Memphis,
Tenn. president of the National Edu-
cation Association.
Miss Williams says woman suffrage
has increased-if possible-the chiv-
airy of the Southern man.
Because of this traditional chivalry
OF Southern men, women in the South
have a better chance Of holding high
public offices than in any other sec
ion of the country" she said. THE
southern mans reverence for woman
hood makes him feel that II a fine
woman wants a political office It Is
only courtesy on the part of the men
to give 1t to her."
Miss Williams, who was chairman Of
the committee representing the COM
bined forces which put over" suf-
frage ratification in Tennessee. re-
fused to predict that the day was
coming when women would hold most
of the political jobs in the South be-
cause the chivalrous Southern politi-
clan could not bring himself to run
against a lady.
She did predict a renaissance in the
South as the result OF the woman vote.
Il think the Southern woman will
show more political independence than
even the new woman voter in other
sections Of the country" said Miss
Williams. The Southern woman, in
spite Of the fact that she is pictured as
a dollhouse flower who cannot live
without the protection Of men. feels
freer than women in other parts Of
the country. This is because she is not
afraid of her men. She has never had
reason to be. She still has the protec-
ton Of the chivalry that has made the
South so wonderful. and at the same
time she is absolutely on an equal foot
ing with the men,"
