WOMEN TO HAVE PLACE '
ON EXECUTIVE BOARD
(By United Press.)
j CHICAGO. June i. The adoption
of the report of the rules committee by
the republican national convention
changed several old rules. Including
the enlargement of the executive com
mittee of the republican national com
mittee from ten to 15 members to per
il the representation of women on the
committee. The new rules, it Is an
nounced, provide that no delegate talk
longer than five minutes or more than
once on any one subject. Another
change makes unfinished business the
last order of business. It opens the
way for action on the platform after
nominations in case the resolutions
committee gets into a protracted
deadlock.
Any woman is able to stand nil the
prosperity her husband can bring
home.
