WOMEN DRAWN
INTO ORGANIZATION

Air~AI ID ooiiiCtflIIS OEliuCuly new
politics in Lincoln county this year
Heretofore very little interest has beel
taken in electing precinct committme1
and the choice of these party official
has usually been allowed to go by de
fault except at such times as some maj
or group of men desired to gain contro
OF the county party organizations wher
an attempt would be made to cleo
enough committeeman to dominate thu
county central committee. This year i
seems to be different, at least in respec
to the democratic party. Everything i.
still quiet on the republican front. bu
indications are that there will be &
lively contest among the democrats for
control of the county organization. Ir
many of the precincts there will be
contests for these positions on the
democratic ticket
Another condition that is new this
year is the result of an amendment to
the election laws passed by the last
session of the Montana legislature. That
act provides that there shall be one
man and one woman as committeeman
from each precinct Heretofore there
has been no such restriction and the
committeeman could both be men. Now
there can be only one man from each
precinct as committeeman; the other
member must be woman.
Because of the contests that will be
staged, there is printed below the
nalses of the candidates for precinct
committeeman that will appear on the
