A Big Hurdle for Women

Mrs. Elizabeth Heffelflnger

Republicans.
Back in 1882, a famous
woman even broke into the
male monopoly on conven-
ton Observation-Disclosures
Booth, daughter of the
founder of the Salvation
Army and well known for
her eloquence.
But the women still haven't
quite managed to make the
smoke-f1ll rooms give way
to perfume.
There have been many
memorable convention
"firsts" for women. The big
gest breakthrough, after the
Suffrage amendment in 1920,
was the expansion of both
national committees to in
clude one man and one
woman from each state.
Thirty-two years later. in
1852, the Republicans upset
this equal sex balance by Civ
ing bonus membership to
chairmen from States that
went Republican in the past
presidential elections. Since
all COP state chairmen are
men, the women are now in
the minority.
No woman has ever been
nominated for the presidency
by either major party.
To be sure, a few intre-
pid feminists tried it on their
own. And way back in 1884
when Belva Lockwood, first
woman lawyer to practice
before the Supreme Court,
ran as nominee of the Ma
tional Equal Rights Party Of
the Pacific Coast, she pre-
dicted:
Just getting a woman's
name on the presidential bal
lot will give men something
to talk about for years to
come"

up considerably on the voice
of women at national conven-
tions.
Some 1900 women will be

the two conventions this

Utah sent to the conventions

And by historical coinci-

granddaughter of William
Jennings Bryan. She's at
tractive 39-year-old Mrs.
Rudd Brown, wife of a we'll
known scientist. A delegate
from California, she's run

In the so years since they
were first seated. women

more conservative Senate

johnson Of Texas.
If Senator johnson should
get the nomination and be
elected, Mrs. Edwards, who
has been somewhat in polit-
ical eclipse, could be expected
to emerge again. Her friends
would like to see her as Sec
retary of Health, Education
and Welfare.
Representative Edith Green

Kennedy's successful cam
paign in the Oregon primary,
is chairman of her States

How have women done in
elective and appointive jobs?
Again, not very well.
Even the most ardent
feminist will admit that no
woman is within shouting
distance of a presidential or
vice presidential nomination.
2 in Cabinet
Only two women have
served in a Presidents cabi-
net. One of these, Mrs.
Oveta Culp Hobby, who re-
signed suddenly as President
Eisenhower's Secretary Of
Health, Education and We'll
fare after the Salk vaccine
fiasco, is thought to have
not added much to the
political stature Of women.
The other was Miss Frances
Perkins, President Franklin
D. Roosevelt's Secretary Of
Labor for IL years.
Miss Bertha Adkins, for
merly G. o. P. assistant
chairman and now HEW
Undersecretary, is highly re-
garded as a woman Of influ-
ence and stature.
OF the nine women who
have served in the United
States Senate, only two, Mrs.
Hattie Carraway. a Democrat
from Arkansas, and Names
current Republican Senator.
Margaret Smith, served for
any length of time.
Fifty-six women-33 DEM

have served in the House of

Chicago. But others will be
added, Mrs. Williams said
last week.
But no woman has ever
been chairman of a conven-
ton, and only once has a
woman been keynoter. (Mrs.
Clare Boothe Luce per-
formed that task for the Re-
publicans in 1914. Many
Democrats have never for
given her for her "GI Jim"
speech, which they regarded
as a highly emotional appeal
to the mothers of the war
dead.)
The only two women who
can be Clid to have welded
any great influence at con-
ventionS are Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt and, to a much
lesser degree, Mrs. India
Edwards.
Mrs. Roosevelt's press con-
ference on the eve of the
1856 Democratic convention,
in which she delicately de-
molished former President
Harry Truman's arguments
for his candidate, Averell
Hartman, was obviously a
big factor in the conven-

her candidate. Adlai Steven

Mrs. Edwards went down

Trying to get heard in
political conventions was a
big hurdle for women.
It was particularly true for
the very first Democratic
woman delegate so years ago.
"a Sweet-voiced, pleasant
faced woman" Mrs. Eliza
beth Cohen of Salt Lake City
responded to loud calls Of
Utah" after the 22-minute
uproar that followed another
delegates nomination speech
for William Jennings Bryan.
Ascending the platform be-
fore 10000 persons at the
Kansas City convention that
July day in 1900, Mrs. Cohen
was making history. Women
still were 20 years away from
getting the vote, but she was
the first delegate of her sex
seated by the Democrats since
they began holding conven-
tions.
Mrs. Cohen was brief. In

president now. Ex-Ambas-
sador and ex-CongreSswoman
Luce thinks it's time to create
the Office Of second vice presi-
dent, which would be filed
only by a woman.
The first nomination of a
woman for vice president
came in 1924, a year the
Democrats required 103 ex-,
hausting ballots to name
their presidential nominee.
Mrs. Leroy Smith, a delegate
at-large from South Caro-
lima, had already cracked
tradition by becoming the
first woman to head a major
convention committee Gre
dentials.
Then her name was placed
in nomination by her home
state. On the first ballot, she
got 18 votes for vice presi-
dent-all that South Caro-
lima could give her.
The convention gave
Charles w. Bryan of Nebras-
ka the second spot on the
ticket, but none of the weary
delegates thought to make it
unanimous. Thus, Mrs. Smith
went into the record books
with her 18 loyal votes intact.
Mrs. Ross
At the very next Demo-
cratic conclave in Houston.
Tex, a similar honor fell to
famed Mrs. Nellie Taylor
Ross, who was the first wom-
an governor in America
elected to the Wyoming post
after her attorney-husband
died in Office.
Mrs. Ross was credited
with 81 votes on the first
ballot for vice president, in
cluding six from her own
State.
But she didn't let it stand.
After the first ballot, Mrs.
Ross rose to announce: 81
change my voting support to
Senator (JoSeph T.) Robin
son Of Arkansas" who was
then nominated.

power in politics without

which have not already

Missed Chance
So, Mrs. Smith missed the
chance of becoming the first
woman placed in nomination
for Vice President by the
Republican Party.
Ten days later, when the
Democrats took over the
Chicago convention scene,
they placed not just one
woman-but two-in nomina-
ton for the vice presidential
spot.
Judge Hughes, of course,
was one candidate. The other
was Mrs. India Edwards. a
former Chicago newspaper
woman, who had served four
years as vice chairman and
director of women's activities
for the Democrats. This year.
she'll be at the convention
promoting Senator Lyndon
johnson of Texas for PreSi-
dent.
Mrs. Edwards didn't stay
in the ring long. New Jersey
delegate, Mrs. Thelma Park
inson Sharp of Vineland,
who's back again this year,
too, announced Mrs. Edwards
thanked her supporters and
wants them to know she is
pleased with the nomination
of Senator (John) Spark
man"
Judge Hughes did the same
and Senator Sparkman was
nominated by acclamation.
While the ladies have been
thus publicly bowling out, they
have been more deftly apply
ing the hidden power of per-
suaSion.
In a recent scholarly study
Of conventions, three male
political experts discovered
that ION most matters there
was little evidence at either
convention of any pronounced
difference between the sexes
on their voting.
Where differences arose,
they related mainly to the
extent of recognition that
should be accorded women in
politics-the one type of is

themselves placed in nomi-

But in 1852, the National
Federation of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs
took a hand in things at
their Boston convention. The
non partisan organization
endorsed Senator Margaret
Chase Smith, Republican of
Maine, then serving her first
term ii the Senate, for the
COP vice presidential nomi-
nation.
The Democrats, the fed
Grafton suggested, should put
up a Texas woman Judge.
Sarah Hughes. a past presi-
dent of the federation.
The candidates were real
istic about it. Judge Hughes,
with 20 years on the bench
and three terms in the Tex
as Legislature, was asked by
a male reporter if she ex-
pected to get the nomination.
mo, I have very little
chance" she admitted, 'but
If women want to get places
in politics they must get into
the arena and fight"
Mrs. Smith gave her con-
sent to run, too, but political
considerations worked against
her.
That year the Republicans
met first in Chicago. Clare
Boothe Luce, a delegate from
Connecticut, got the floor and
announced it was "the desire
of the women delegates and
millions of Republican wom-
en- throughout the Nation
that I should put into nomi-
nation for the vice presi-
dency the name Of Margaret
Chase Smith" But that was
as close as Republicans got
to nominating a woman.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
had tabled Senator Richard
Nixon as his running mate.
Mrs. Luce continued: "It
seems there is to be one
name placed in nomination
for the vice presidency.

doctors should be allowed to
give a TRANSMISSION to a bleeding
