Democratic Women Form Organization in Indiana
Democratic leaders in Indiana report strong early support for a state backed women voters organization led by Chairman Fred Van Nuys. The group aims for full autonomy in forming committees and guiding activities, contrasting with Republican plans that keep women under male supervision. Officers named include Mrs. Fred H. McCulloch as state chairwoman and Mrs. J. M. Emison as a district official, with a broad slate of district representatives. The meeting highlighted suffrage roots and war-bond work, signaling optimism for a robust party structure as postwar recovery unfolds.
