Mr.. Walter Dawson,
Chairman, Republican State
Central Committee for Mont
gomery County,
Oxley Building,
Rockville, Maryland.
Dear Mr.. Dawson:
The League of Women Voters
has planned campaign for the
last two weeks of March to inter-
est voters not registered with po-
litical party in declaring a party
utilization so they may participate
in the primary elections. We find,
however, that we may be like the
salesman who has left his samples
at home, for there may be SO few
contacts that citizen participation
IN the primaries will amount to
little.
The League is therefore calling
on the State Central Committees
to present the names of at least
twice as many delegates to the
State Presidential Nominating
Convention as the citizens may
elect. We urge that the candidates
be representatives of various
points of view within the party so
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1948-02-26
Women Want To Help Select Candidates

voters will be able to SELECT as
well as ELECT.
Maryland is one of the few
states where women are not ac-
corded equal representation with
men in determining party policy.
To them is delegated the job of
staging bingo parties, luncheons,
or dinners to fill the party Golfers ;
punching doorbells and driving
cars to get the vote out; purging
registration lists of political oppo-
nents. In matters of party policies
and the selection of qualified can
didates, they have little voice. This,
we are sure you know, is contrary
to the desires of both the Demo-
cratic and Republican National
Committees. Not even one wom-
an serves on the Republican State
Central Committee for Montgom-
cry County. Women have served
on the Democratic Committee. For
this reason, we believe that the
names of an equal number of
women should be presented to
serve as delegates.
Help us help our voters to take
part in the primary!
Cordially yours,
MRS. j. RENE HEMINGWAY.
