The visit of Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, wife of the President,
to North Carolina, where she will
be the honor of the stal
wart citizens of the Eastern sec
tion of the state, at Wallace, is
more evidence of the part wom
en are playing in public affairs.
Like her distinguished husband,
Mrs. Roosevelt utilizes every op
portunity to meet and mingle
with people and her many visits
to the state are evidence of her
keen appreciation for North Car
olina, where she is always given
a hearty welcome.
Therefore, the great gathering
scheduled for Wallace on Friday,
with the First Lady {is the guest
of honor, gives me a long-post
poned opportunity to commend
the part that women generally
have in civic and political func
tions. No longer do they just
attend banquets and applaud the
words of mere man; they now
have an "active part in the ar
rangements and share the respon
sibilities. And their activities are
having a wholesome effect on
these affairs. The hands that
keep order in the home and of
fice are truly exercising a benefi
cial effect on public activities of
every character.
The part that women are play
ing in national affairs is no bet
ter evidenced than in the records
of our great national conven
tions/ In this connection, it is
interesting to note that that at
the Democratic National Conven
tion of 1912—the first attended by
President Roosevelt—there were

only two women delegates. But
at the convention of 1982, which
nominated our illustrious Presi
dent, there were 208 women del
egates and more at Philadelphia
in 1936. And everyone concedes
that the presence of the fine wo
men who are leaders in the af
fairs of their respective states has
meant more orderly and pleasant
gatherings of national leaders.
It is all evidence that our
country is beginning to make a
greater use of the variety of abil
ities and capacities possessed by
women, and many of the limita
tions which were characteristic
of the position of women in our
earlier order are now being over
come.
Except for an aged lady from
Georgia who held office for one
ceremonial day, no woman had
been either appointed- or elected
to the United States Senate un
til the autumn of 1931, when Ar
kansas elected the widow of a
statesman to succeed her' hus
band for the unexpired term.
Since, that distinguished lady,
Senator Hattie Carraway, has
been elected in her own right and
is now serving with honor. Her
daily presence in the Senate is an
inspiration to her colleagues. In
addition to being chairman of a
'committee—the Committee on
Enrolled Bills—she also serves on
the Committees on Agriculture
and Forestry, Commerce and the
Library, It is needless to say
that she bears her share of Sen
atorial responsibilities.
In the House of Representatives
are a number of active women
who merit their offices. It is a
far cry from the furore created
in 1916 when Montana elected
the first women to the National
Legislature.
But whether serving in public
office, at a desk, in the home or
on the farm, women are proving
their right to assume greater re
sponsibilties and have greater
recognition. And the visit of
Mrs. Roosevelt to North Carolina,
where the First Lady will mingle
with Carolina women who are
first in the hearts of their com
munities, is more evidence of the
part women have and deserve in
our affairs, national, state and
local.
