Besides Miss Crawford another woman was a candidate for office in Lebanon, run ning for City Treasurer, but she was defeated by Wayne Green, the present City Treasurer.

It is reported that the two women elected say they will not quali fy, but it is possible that they may accede to the demand to serve the pub lics and hence two of the six members of the citya legislative body will be women.
