NEW YORK. Sept. 4.—‘William

become an ofiicinl mcmbcr of the

His appointment as trcasurcr of

"I am hcnrtiiy.glnd to align my-

to do my part in carrying it over."
Mr. McAdoo said. "Some of tho

it ‘mdical.’ The loaders and candi-
dates of this movement are. no more
radical than the signers of the doc-

zatIOn connected with the Russian

from the battle front. They share
all of the hardships of the men. fac-

western states. lhzt that was sev-
eral years ago, and now it is the
generally accepted fact that the
women of the I’nitcd States, having
as they do. cqual suffrage rights.
should not be permitted to clcnpe
the more irksome responsibilities of
their privilege.
In New York the women have
been battling for the permission to
sit on juries with men ever since
the passage in that state of the
first equal suffrage bill in 1917. but
as yet. they have not succeeded in
persuading the Assembly of New
York that women are acceptable as
Jurors.
Mrs. Iiuldnh Ogden.
“‘e hear much of the "dirt farm-
er" nowadays. but the "dirt farm-
crette" has not attractc‘d so much
attention. Mrs. Huldah Ogden, of
Milford. Ky. claims the distinction
of being the first woman in the
United States to sock nomination to
Congres's as a furmerettc. She is
an ardent Republican.
Mrs. Ogden has been running her
large farm in Bracken county, K32.
for 18 years. as well as caring for
her family. Her husband was a
newspaper man in Cincinnati. She
specialized in sheep raising and is
said-to be one of the most prosper-
ous farmers in the state.
But. even Mrs. Ogden's farm and
family do not take all hcr time. She
is a. leader in state politics and is
particularly interested in measures
of special interest to women. She
passed her bar examination when
she was 21 years old.
With women taking such a. prom-
inent part in the politics of the
country the question arises. should
any use their feminine charms to
persuade men to do their will or
should they appeal to man's intel-
loot only? Women who took part
in the three recent. national con-
tendonl certainly endeavored by ap-
pearance as well as brains to make
a pleasing impression.
