Lima. Ohio, Sept. 11.— (I. N.
S.)- Desire for women candi
dates for public office is shown
by democrats of Lima and Ot
tawa Township. At the August
primaries Miss Gertrude Miller,
of Lima, pretty and only 22
years of age, won a substantial
majority over all other demo
cratic aspirants for nomination
for constable.
Miss Miller for 18 months
has been stenographer to Jus
tice Ernest M. Botkin. She is
planning her campaign for elec
tion next November. Giving up
all thoughts of a vacation, she
expects to devote her time to
campaigning. She wields a gun
readily and deciares she would
"rather shoot than eat.” She
asserted she would have no hes
itancy in "bringing into court
the largest offender."
