Resolution
Women AdObted

Here is the resolution adopted by
Terre Haute Republican women
workers demanding that Mrs. Vivian
T. Wheatcraft be forced to resign
from her post of vice chairman of
the Republican State committee:
Whereas, an interview purpoting
to come from Mrs. Vivian Tracy
Wheatcreft, vice chairman of the
Republican State committee, and at
present working with the national
Republican congressional commit
tee, appeared last evening, said inter
view containing such aspersions
against the characters, intentions
and principles of the women of the
State OF Indiana in general, and
the Republican women in particular.
that it cannot be unnoticed; and.
Whereas, Mrs. Wheatcraft boasts
of her political success obtained
through an organization of which
she is pleased to call poison squad
Of whispering women and Of Sen
ator James E. Watsons primary
success as victory of gossip and.
Whereas. curing the entire pri-
mary campaign no word of gossip
or SANDER ever came from Sen
ator Watson or his organization
against any opponent. and his pri-
mary victory was one based on per-
sonal success and public service
without any aid Of the poison
squad /; and
Whereas, Mrs. Wheatcrafts as
sertion that her little. black book
contained the names of FIVE women

diana, who are members Of the so
called poison squad Of whispering

any time spread gossip the width

counties. which suspicion is one
under which no self-respecting
woman will remain silent; and,
Whereas, Mrs. Wheatcraft holds
her position through appointment of
the men in the State and national
Republican organizations, rather
than through any desire or appoint
