No Woman Candidate
for Democratic Meet

Lincoln, Feb. 7-Democrats who
have attempted to make capital OF
the fact that no candidate for ma
tional committeewoman has filed on
the republican ticket were chagrined
today to discover that there is no
woman candidate for delegate to the
democratic national convention.
The list OF candidates drawn up by
the state Coolidge-for-pres com
mittee includes five women. OF whom
two are candidates for delegatoat-
large, and it Is expected that other
men interested In the national con-
vention.
When asked why no women candi-
dates have filed for delegate to the
democratic convention. Governor
Eryan declared that the candidates.
have not all been filed and that there
was nothing In the way OF Women
candidates. However. as the gov
ernor has had large hand in, select.
ing the democratic delegate slate, his
reply was not considered as an ac-
ceptable explanation.
The democratic national committee
recently recommended that the dele
cations be equally composed OF men
and women. each to have one-half
vote, but such a program was not
acceptable to democratic politicians
who make the states in Nebraska.

FAINT terrible" OF the German dipio-

his discretion whether and which
way he should participate in the ma
