homa republicans to the national
commits e.
Tho appeal of I'd Oycho who
managed llamon's campaign and
who led tho regency movement In
the form of thousands of letter to
leading republican raon and women
throughout tho Mate got a response
that was bitterly disappointing. A
perfect avalaneho of opposition and
bitter criticism raised ItHelf almost
over night and Is sweeping the
ittte.
Tho Women nntkrd.
Tho wo mo In particular resented
tho suggestion of perpetuating the
Hamon dynasty added to by a letter
Mnt out by Committeeman Itobert-
lon of Commancho county wherein
he paid. "She (referring to Sin.
llamon and her candidacy) has
ambitions for her son who will Btep
Into hli father's shoes 'In a few
years." This wafl construed as nn
dmlfslon on tho part of the rcguney
crowd that Mrs. llamon's appoint-
ment was intended only as a'
recency nho to hold he office-until
Jake llamon jr. became of age
hlrh would bo before tho next
election of a national committee
roan.
The republican women's Htatc or-
pnlz.itlon designated tho proposal
of the regency crowd as "an Insult
to tho women of the state" nnd
Mrs. Otis Curoton vice president of
tho stato committee sent out thou-
sands of letters to the various mem-
bers of tho organization setting
forth in detail thu "slmplo truth"
concerning tho luto national mm
mlttec'inn'H connection with tho
state aipalgn.

"went republican not because of
Jake Hamon hut In site of him
ami no ono knows hotter than I thu
handicap ho wan to us women. Wu
ore embarrassed at every turn by
him and his representative. Kd
Dvchc nnd It reached the tfotnt
where 1 would not ask thum for
anything."
Women llecoinc n lowcr.
Tho women's organization has
become not only tho balance of
power In tho state but It Is fast
becoming the controlling major fac-
tor. It l.i determined to makn poli-
tics respectable.' nnd fit for woman's
efforts and to accomplish this" It
sots Itself against tho perpetuation
of Ilaincnlsm In any form. "Tho
