C., FRIDAY, APRIL 24, REQUESTS SURPRISE WOMAN GOVERNOR Mrs. Ross Says Running State From Executive Mansion Is Momentous Task. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 24—The requests which come to a woman governor are some times surprising, according to Mrs. Nellle Ross, Governor of Wyo- ming, who addressed the Woman's Roosevelt Republican Club here ves- terday. Mrs. Ross sald one request she had received since she was in- augurated Governor of Wyoming last January was from a museum for “‘an old shoe nl‘_,\ours, or a white elephant, or an ex-pipe.” “I was at a loss to understand,” said Gov. Ross, “what an ex-pipe might be, and what I would be doing with it “Letters come to me from every State in the Union, and from the Mexican border. I do not fail to appreciate the honor of so much at- tention, though I am unable to satisfy all the requests. If Wyoming thought Hardwood cabinet. 25 lbs. ice capacity. One shelf in food compartment.

Many Issues Serious. “Do not imagine that all a woman governor has te think about, how- ever, is flattering requests, for momentoes. Issues of a very serlous nature awalt my return, and have oc- cupled me almost incessantly since I became governor. My husband was Governor of Wyoming and was a busy one, but I think few governors have had as many critical problems in four montks as I have had.” Commenting on the fact that she was a Democrat, while her hosts were Republicans, Mrs. Ross sald: “I hope I shall never let political expediency interfere with the devotion to principle which should always guide a woman in politics.” .
