Democratic leaders in the village have had occasion to learn this in the past week or more. Their search for women of standing in the community who would take advantage of their new political status under the state suffrage amendment proved of little avail and there is not a “Miss” or a “Mrs.” in front of the names of any on the Democratic ticket which was selected last night.

No women appeared at the caucus, held in the village hall, and no women’s names were even mentioned during the balloting for nominations. Mrs. Frederick Hazard was looked upon by the leaders as a promising possibility for trustee or even president, but Mrs. Hazard informed a committee delegated to learn her sentiments that she would not consider entering the political field just yet.

This seems to be the attitue of most of the newly enfranchised voters, according to the Democrats at last evening’s caucus. It was admitted that several women had been approached and others considered in hope of strengthening the ticket to meet that selected last week by the Republicans. But none accepted. All said they were willing to wait a while before going out for office.

Every nominee was chosen unanimously last night. The slate reads thus:

For president, Thomas Murphy; for trustees (two-year terms), Edward J. Jutton, Loren A. Kanar and William G. Dunn; for treasurer, Byron M. Lyon; for collector, Thomas J. Lynsky; for clerk, Edwin M. Hall; committee to fill vacancies, John Major, Alexander Kennedy and James Ward.
