little singular that DR.. Kendrick
has served SO long in legislative
work and has been SO able and so
faithful and yet has meyer been
elected without opposition.
He has been elected twice to the
House and six times to the Senate,
a record SO far as we know, that
no other living Mississippian has.
Dr. Kendrick has been a faithful,
honest and able representative oil
his people. He is very dilligent
and industrious in his work, able in
debate and fair and just in all in
terssts.
We understand that he has a very
profound desire to be elected this
time without opposition. Such

LAWS GIVE WOMEN
MANY NEW RIGHTS
National Party Continues
Equality Work,
BY ALICE PAUL.
Vice President OF the National Won.
ems Party.

(CoDuriGht. 1928. bv United Neios)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-There Is
more TO be gained for women during
the coming year than ever before
The National Women's Party points
with pride at what has been accom-
pliShed since the campaign for equal
rights was inaugurated two years ago.
and in particular the progress which
has been made during the past year.
Over $4,000 600 women in fifteen
States were affected by equal rights
legislation which was passed last year.
In many cases the laws were drafted
by women lawyers and introduced by
women legislators.
In Delaware, Maryland and Louisi-
ana women were given the right to
hold all public office.
In Maine women were given the
right to jury service.
In Mississippi mothers were given
equal rights with fathers to the care
and custody Of their children and to
the services and earnings Of their
children.
Pennsylvania married women were
given the right to choose their own
domiciIes for the purpose Of voting
or holding Office.
In Wisconsin women were given all
