Decline in Feminine Representation at Houston Conclave
Final returns show a 33 percent drop in feminine representation at the Democratic Convention in Houston Texas June 23 with Democratic women holding seven percent of voting power and Republican women six percent at Kansas City. A total of 146 women delegates and 272 alternates were selected for Houston vs 200 delegates and 311 alternates in 1924. Due to fractional voting the Houston women will command 74 percent of the convention’s 1100 votes overall though most hold small fractions. States varied in at large delegates with Texas 12 at large, men predominating in many delegations. Overall Democratic women appear weaker in actual voting strength than Republican peers.
