Report On The Women at
i The Democrat Convention
y?Jm
By MART JANE MERRYMAV
a CHICAGO Now that the Demo
crats have started making the bat
tling Republicans look pretty good.
( was a real pleasure to watch
all 48 states demonstrate whole
heartedly lor Mrs. Eleanor Roos
evelt, v;,
Certainly all the male politicoes
who have set new track records
for long speeches .and all the
sprightly ladies' who have cooed
over the microphones at the Demo
cratic national convention could
learn a lesson from their ranking
woman member.
. ...,-. . Mrs.' Roosevelt

To my knowledge.

f, attention of
,-t h e preponder
antly male audi-
5 Squietly smiling as
ftne audience
! wildly cheered for
1 ten minutes, then
Spui on ner nom-
utcies wiucn are
, as unbecoming to
her as they are to the rest of us,
and gave her speech. When she was
through., she took off her glasses,
waved and called "goodbye" and
left the rostrum to join her sons
and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Jr, who occupied a box just back
of the rostrum- During her speecn
she seldom looked up. 'never e
hired, but everyone got every word.
Unlike many of her predecessors
who have appeared in everything
from all white to all red. she wore
an unobtrusive navy blue dress
with white collar and cuffs.
Women are taking an ever more
prominent spot in the conventions,
and most of the males concede
that "sometime -when. It's not so
touchy," one will make the vice-
presidency. The Democratic wom
en fall into, two classes: candidates'
wives and party workers, and nev
er the twain shall meet.
Wives of the candidates have
contributed a great deal of charm
and beauty to the proceedings but
to a woman have -refused to dis
cuss politics. .There, is red-haired
Nancy Kefauver, brunette Marie
Harriman. blonde Grayce Kerr,
White-haired Helen Ewing, to name
a. few. All of them agree they
spend their days keeping house,
entertaining, reading, rearing the
children. All of them are adept at
dressing well, smiling warmly, en
tertaining handsomely ana carry.

ing on an endless stream of con
versation which must be wearing
to say the least.
All of this is incomprehensible to
women like Mrs. India Edwards,
vice chairman of - the Democratic
National, committee, who is not
campaigning for the vice-presidency
but says she would accept it
Mrs. Edwards said she did not un
derstand why wives of the presi
dential candidates at both conven
tions refused to talk politics.
"What do you suppose they talk
about," she asked. "Recipes? Fifteen-gauge
stockings? I should
think they would want to discuss
things of interest to - their
husbands. 7 i r
: There is no excuse, according to
her, for women not being able to
make up their own minds on both
foreign and domestic policy. Mrs.
Edwards, once a newspaperwoman
on the Chicago Tribune, takes her
politics straight and commands an
efficient corps of equally dedicated
workers who make up the women's
division speakers' bureau. Among
these is Mrs. Charles F. Brannan,
wife of the Secretary of Agriculture.
Mrs. Brannan addressed the
women conventioneers this morn
ing and did a good job of it. She
is a tall, slender brunette with an
upswept hair-do and a low-pitched
voice which Is. pleasant over the
loud-speaker.' ...;
It may be that the-voice problem
lies at the base of the trouble
women have nttrnctlng attention in
the hut'e amphitheater where the
convention sessions are held. Al
though they are : easily heard
through the amplifiers, their voices
sound high and thin.
One exception to the rule Is Mrs.
Perle Mesta, the minister to Lux
embourg. Mrs. Mesta gives a good
political speech, good party and
wears the handsomest French Im
portations seen to date.
Then there -are the women dele
gates who get almost no publicity
but work richt along with the men.
I doubt if they have; time for any
gossiping, what with their commit
tee assignments and the running
sideline of - breakfasts, luncheons,
teas, fashion shows, receptions and
cocktail parties which accompany
the convention.
It begins to look as if one' of the
major decisions of the year will
be made by dog-tired men and
women who have been trying for
a week to .be in at least two
places at once.

It was Uie first time such a co
