' 16 MARYLAND WONEN THREATENTOBOLT Voters Believe Men Have i Legislative Fight. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, May 28 —That the woman voters intend to demand party hacking of several woman candidate: in both partics for the legislaturc, and intend to kick over the tr: and form their own organizations if it is not_given, is_becoming more apparent every day. This situation applies with equal force to both the republican and democratic parties of the state. The republican women for weeks have been expecting the men to ajoint meeting of the leaders. am both the men and the women of wnd they have iso been oking for a definite assertion from the men as to who, among the women. they 1 help in a legislature campaign. They have been led to expeci this action by promises of Chairman Galen L. Tait of the state. central committee 2nd_Congressman John Philip Hill. chairman of the city executive com- mittee.

If a woman wants 10 run for the legislature. let her get! out and husiie for the nomination as 8 man would" In the democratic ranks much the same situation exists, except that the women have not been completely ignored by the party leader£ On the contrary the women have been in- vited to the vanous district commit- tee mectings. but have not been ziven any say in the selection of district leaders nor any encouragement to present candidates for the legislature. Fight Against Boss Control This has led to a split, and the first open stand against boss control w taken this week by members of the Women's Democratic Club of the twelfth ward, who zre organized. it was announced. for the sole purpose of making a drive vn the part of women against the old ward-boss- eontrol tem. Wi ill not permit the men of S any democratic z leaders for us and tell us how w shall vote and when we act. said Mrs, Douglas Thomas, organizer of the club. “The platform of our or- ganization is a platform free from ward-boss control. We will fight ag- gression upon uz by any ward politi- cian seeking control of us. We want | a democratic party without a split, working for the best interests of the community through the part While there is a decided hesitancy among both republican and demo- cratic women about announcing wom- an candidates for the legislature this | year, it is almost certai that the! former will have one and possibly several in the ficld. Members of the democratic women's clubs, however, are not generally in favor of putting up a woman for the legislature this year. Many of them are of the opin- jon that it is far better, as one of them expresscd it. “to concentrate on securing good men in the legislature than to urge any woman.” ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRIA, Va.
