Women Urged
10 Seek Job of
Committeeman
Precinct Place Important Of
flee in Party Orgdni-
cation.
By JULIA C. HENDERSON.

-
It is indeed encouraging as well as
interesting TO note that one lone woman
in Indianapolis thus far has filed her
name for precinct committeeman.
It has been hoped by many women in
terested in party affairs that there might
be a number of women who could pre-
sent their names for this important
place In party endeavOr.
It is only through an effort to get on
the inside of affairs that woman can
hope to accomplish the things she has
hoped for through the ballot Never, no
never. can she accomplish anything by
staying gu the outside. This was evil
denced in the last city campaign, when
women were placed on advisory boards
which did not mean anything TO any
body. When the real planning and work
was to be done they were not admitted
To the inner circles Of either party, and
though loud was the protest, the women
we're told that they were only recognized
through courtesy, as none had been
elected to fill these important places.
Are the women now going to stand
idly by and see these places again filed
by men and make no effort to have con.
ditious other than they have been
throughout the years?
To be sure it takes courage, but It is
going TO take more than that; it Is go
ing to take fortitude, character, bigness
Of mind and heart, a willingness to for.
get self for the larger good which is to
come. It IS going to take women who
are brave and strong to give Of them
selves for the common good. that wom-
int ha
only in name but for the good she can
do her city, State and Nation
Il is not yet too late Applications
for precinct committeeman may be FLED

remember. your influence will be as
naught If you do not get IN at the main

tits announced that an actress orator
Miss Adelaide Thgrston-has come 10 our
State to arouse the women to activity in
polite.
Miss Thurston says. 1.-THE great mass
OF women have not risen above lethargy.
but many are doing some serious think
ing"
1t is to be hoped that she can arouse
them from lethargy, II that is a right
name for it, but it IS more a lack Of self
confidence and a lack OF knowledge Of
party affairs that htlds them back more
than all else
As It took time to convert women TO
suffrage so l. is going to take time to
make them accustomed and unafraid in
dealing with the things for which the
ballot stands.
It is confidently hoped that many
women will yet come forward for pre-
cinct committeeman and ward chairmen,
which places they are well qualified to
fill and which IS now their privilege
under the law.
