" B—12 WOMEN ASK PARTY J0BS FOR SPOUSES | Feminine Democrat Workers Seek Benefits Due Them | for Husbands. B the dssoc! e Preet-day politics and the depres- sion- have combined to hatch a new type of woman politician—one who has earned & plum for herself, but wants it to go 1o her husband instead. Sev- eral of the outstanding women pch-l ticians are asking that nppomtmenu.l to which they feel entitled, be given to their husbands. The husbands, for the most part, are business men—and business now isn’t what it used to be. That small, but effective, trail-blazer, Emily Newell Blair of Missouri, seems to have started it. Indefatigably she campaigned from State to State for, Roosevelt, No reward for herself did ghe ask. But her husband, Harry Blair, was made a special assistant in the| Department of Justice. And that brought Mrs. Blair to Washington, leav- ing her writing and lecturing ability | available to the Democratic party in-| stead of tying it down with desk work. . ‘Want Woman Recognized. Out in the State of Washington, lead- ing Democrats want the work of Mrs.| Marie Proctor recognized by some job. possibly State immigration ‘commission- ex, for her husband, Robert L. Proctor. The reason they don't ask a job for Mrs. Proctor is that they want her to keep right on doing what she is| doing now. For the past three years she has been a volunteer worker for the Democratic party, taking not one| cent of compensation, but keeping regu- | 1ar office hours every day from 9 to 5. Mrs. Harrison Parkman of Emporia, | XKans., wants a place for her husband in the Post Office Department. A map in the woman's division of Democratic | National Committee headquarters here | shows how Mrs. Parkman perfected such an organization in her State that women in every precinct were in touch | with the national campaign office. She wants to keep on working as & woman with women. Similarly, Mrs. June Fickel, Towa or-| ganizer, would prefer to continue her | own political work. but suggests her | husband for deputy collector of in-| ternal revenue for Iowa. Seeks Hoover Dam Job. Mrs. Grace Westerhouse of California, committeewoman from the Philippine Islands and an effective West Coast worker, would like her engineer hus- band, Ernest Westerhouse, to have & | job on Hoover Dam. Mrs. James R. Ri , former national committeewoman of Indiana, wants hers in the Depart- ment of Agriculture. The powerful women leaders of the Democratic party have urged an ap-| pointment as unquestionably due to Annie Dickie Oleson, Minnesota wom- an orator, for her campaign work in the farming States of Kansas, Nebraska, | the Dakotas, Towa and Minnesota. But | Mrs. Oleson would prefer that her hus- band, Peter Oleson, Minnesota educator, pluck the plum so that she might come | to Washington tn the role of free lance.! ready to take to the platform at any | time. | In a somewhat similar fashion, Mrs. Frank E. Johnesse, Idaho vice chair- man, has asked a place for her daug! ter, and Mrs. Frank W. Plant, Minne- | sota vice chairman, a post in the Fed-! eral Reserve Bank of Minnesota for her son. WIFE KNOCKED DOWN DIVORCE SUIT CHARGES Years of Abuse Charged Against John W. Jenkins, Who Is Said to Be Base Ball Manager. Suit for limited divorce was filed in District Supreme Court late yesterday by Mrs. Virginia J. Jenkins, 211 Tenth street northeast. against John W.

Boardman, Mrs. Jenkins told the court that her husband has abused her for years and on nu- merous occasions struck her and ver- bally abused her, once knocking her down and at another time beating her head against the floor. She also charged that last Summer he had associations ‘with other women.

Baltimore, Md.. October 5, 1915, and have a daughter.
