Strong efforts to get some woman or women to run for the state legis- Iaturs from Jefferson county are to be made by women.
 It is hoped that there can be at least one woman representative in both the house and senate.
 At the meeting of the League or Women Voters to be held next Tues day at the Hillman hotel, 1t Is ex- pected that this subject will be taken up strong and that the Federation of Women's clubs, the Women's Fra ternal societies, tho Woman's union Label league and other organizations will be asked to heip get really effi- cient women to enter the race.
 Like Mrs. Jacobs
 While he~league Is a political or -anization, 1t is non-partisan and non-personal as whole when 1t come to recommending candidates. But as individual members 1t can and does boost and work for special can didates. and thus one of the members of the league said yesterday:
 we would certainly be delighted if we could get Mrs. Solon Jacobs to enter the race. And there are others also who would be fine. Mrs. Jacobs would make a wonderful senator"
 In trying to get women to run for the legislature. Jefferson county women are following the lead of Dallas, which already has persuaded Mrs. D. G.-wilkins of Selma to bs . candidate, delegations compossd of as many as 40 citizens at ono time going to her-both men and women
 We need a woman at Montgom- cry" 1t Is declared by Mrs. Earle Pet tus and local leaders, flor there are many laws we want for women and children and improvement on many laws now In effect. We also want many measures passed which are for the public good"
 These are some of the laws sug- xested:
 for women. This Is badly needed.
 Alabama has no minimum wage law
 On Wages
 The age of consent is now Is years. It ought to be raised. In California the age is 21.
 We also need laws along similar lines for the protection of boys. Not much has been said about our boys. but they are as badly in need of pro- tective laws as our girls are. There should be equal protection, and what Is good for one Is good for both."
 There are always things arising that need women's Judgment at the legislature, 1t Is claimed.
 At the league meeting Tuesday II is expected that the club win pass recommendations complimenting Dal- las county on having selected Mrs. Wilkins to run for the legislature to help her county and her state. We don't know what Jefferson woman will be patriotic enough to offer her self, but we want someone capable of filling the need.''
