Why Women Can't Take the Census
Supervisor Vincent Cofford faces a flood of applications for census enumerator posts but has made no recommendations.

An applicant from a minister would need to visit saloons to obtain data, and he would comply if regulations required it. Cofford has authority to open offices and has rented rooms by his law office.
