Democratic Nominee For
Legislature Is Armed
With ‘Reforms’
OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. 7—(U.fi)
—Ila Huff, who apparently will be-
come Oklahoma's first woman leg-
islator since the William H. Mur-
ray administration, today said she
planned to take no seat in the
rear of the hall when the legisla-
ture convenes.
In fact, the former Helena or-
phanage superintendent will come
armed with a sweeping program
for reforming Oklahoma’s child
adoption laws, will be In the thick
of the fight to restore the runoff
primary law and will be ready to
battle for the business houses
.which comprise her Oklahoma City
district.
As for the November general
election, Mrs. Huff will support Mr.
Roosevelt and Henry A. Wallace
although she states that she
screamed herself hoarse at the
Democratic convention trying to
beat Wallace for vice president.
Classified Herself
"I ain not a bolting Democrat,"
said Mrs. Huff. “I am a belly-
aching Democrat. I make my dis-
likes known but I stay with the
party leadership."
Mrs. Huff refused to state what
action she will take when the
legislature considers appropriations
for her political enemy, Mrs. Mabel
Bassett, state commissioner of
charities and corrections. She ran
against Mrs. Bassett in 1938.
"I stll have a Republican to beat
at the November election," she
said, "although my district is
four to one Democratic." *
Mrs. Huff said she wil concen-
trate her energy at reforming
state orphanage laws. She said she
hoped to pass a law requiring that
all youngsters be examined at a
state clinic before they are sent to
state institutions.
Stall' "Needs System”
"While I was superintendent at
Helena,’ ’said Mrs. Huff, "we hac
some youngsters who belonged in
reform schools, others who should
have been sent to deaf schools and
many who should have been placed
in hospitals.
"The state needs a system foi
examining these youngsters to set
what should be done for them. They
should be separated and treated
for their varying illnesses.”
Mrs. Huff said she also will spon-
sor legislation requiring that ma-
trons at state institutions have
qualifications for the jobs. She
said they also should be asked to
pass physical examinations.
Mrs. Huff, if she defeats Charles
E Day, her Republican opponent,
will be the fifth woman to serve in
the legislative house. There has
been one woman senator in state
history.
"I will be the first woman ever
elected from a purely business
district," she said. Mrs. Huff’s
district Includes downtown Okla-
homa City. Representative Laverne
Carleton, who is the present house
member, did not seek re-election.
