IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS
Daughter of
D. W. Voorhees
Seeks Otfice
Descendant of Famous Hoo
sicr Will Run for Legis
lature.
By JtUA C. HESDERSOX.
Although the women of Illinois had the
privilege of the ballot long before the
women of Indiana hud any form of suf
frage, the State may have for the first
time In its history a woman to sit In it*
Legislature after the new assembly is
elected this fall.
It is expected one of the most strenu
ous and stirring campaigns of recent
years will be waged for Mrs. Julia
Voorhees Johnson of Peoria, whose name
has been placed in the political field by
her friends.
Mrs. Johnson is a granddaughter or
Daniel W. Voorhees, the “tall sycamore
of the Wabagh.” It is needless to say,
she is seeking the nomination on the
Democratic ticket. The support thrown
to Mrs. Johnson will not be confined to
party lines, since women’s clubs, which
are said to be very strong in Peoria, will
support her regardless of party, and
many business men are rallying to her
support.
Under the laws of Illinois, a nomina
tion in the primary will amount to an
election in this legislative district.
The result will be watched dith interest
by politicians and by the women of the
States both of whom are much concerned
as to woman’s entrance into politics and
who will measure her worth in the poli
tical field.
Indiana has had her woman repre
sentative In legislative halls in the per
son of Mrs. Julia D. Nelson of Muuele
who was elected to serve in the Indiana
General Assembly of 192 L Mrs. Nelson
made good for her constituency and.
while the initial step In this capacity was
difficult, she came out with credit to her
self and the women of her State.
Indiana s neighboring State or onto
also is coming forward with a woman
candidate lor United States senator, in
the person of Mrs. Virginia Darlington
Green, a member of the Cleveland Doaru
of education, who recently announced
her candidacy. She will run independ
ently and will be her own campaign
manager. Within tn e last wees rrom
across. the seas—from Stockholm,
Sweden —comes the word that the speech
from the throne, at the opening of tne
Klgsdag, made reference to tne lact
women had participated for tne first
time In the parliamentary elections, anu
the admission of women to government
posts will be one of the new bins to De
presented at the parliamentary sessions.
Women are entering the political neiu
with the thought of service uppermost
in their minds and with an aniDition to
do their work well.

MRS. JO Kit WILMOTH.
By MABEL WIIEELEB.
In my rambles around town this past
week I ehaneed to drop into the Horae for
Aged Women, to chat a bit with some of
my old friends. I was gossiping with on©
silver-haired woman concerning various
happenings and foik, when she asked me
suddenly If I belonged to the Welfare
Club. I was forced to admit that I did
not to her very apparent disappointment.
"Why," queried I, "I belong to some
other very excellent organizations; won’t
any of them do?”
She refused to take any apparent Inter- !
est in my club affiliations, but showed
signs of delight when I ventured to add
that I had some friends who did belong
to the club, which opened the floodgates
of her confidence and she told me just
what a wonderful coterie of women
make up the club. It seemed from her
conversation that most of the good things
she had received had come from those
women. She told how they took them
to the movies, bought them delicacies to
cat, gave parties and musicales for them,
brought them bric-a-brac and comforts
for their rooms and, best of all, just
came to see them personally as good
friends, writing- and reading to them at
times. AH of which led mo to delve a |
little deeper into the character of the
club and read up on its history.
CLl'B ORGANIZED
BY 15 WOMEN IN 1912.
The club, I found, was organized In the
fall of 11)12 by fifteen women under the
leadership of Mrs. Joed Wilmoth ut her j
residence on North Capitol avenue. It!
was the outcome of more or less disor- !
ganized work among the aged folk of '
the city wlio needed help. On that first j
afternoon Mrs. J. D. George, president of j
the board of directors for the Indianapolis !
Heme for Aged Women, talked concerning i
the needs of the home which were many. I
The first effort to obtain funds was r ;
tnusirole given in the auditorium of the j
Y. M. C. A., the proceeds going to furnish
a room in the home. At that time the
club members also visited the city liosplta’
old people, distributing fruit, magazines
and candies. The motto adopted was
“Cultivate the Habit of Sympathy” and j
the members, according to the grateful j
“hApe” lady evidently have lived up to It ' 1
‘I e charter members of the club were j

LOUISE WILLS.
Colonial gowns and bonnets or golden
hue, with black trimming and parasol,
from which to the plates. Huge Diack
and yellow bows decorated the sides or
the cloth. A harpist played throughout
the luncheon time.
The program was opened with the sing
ing of the “Theta Prayer,” by Christine
Newhardt of De Panw chapter followed
by a song, “Love Never Falleth,” by Mrs.
Roy Metzger of Lebanon. An interesting
group of toasts composed the larger por
tion of the program. Miss Charlotte L- ah
of Indianapolis, president of the alumnae
chapter, presiding as toastmlstress. The
theme for the responses nas "Theta's
I Calendar.” ea 'h of the four active chap
ters In the district giving an episode of
an eventful day In the 6orority year.
Purdue chapter showed how “Theta
Rushes;" Butler chapter followed with
a comedy giving a frightened pledge's
dream of how “Theta Initiates;” Indiana
chapter built their skit, “Theta Cele
brates.” around the annual founders’
day luncheon, featuring a huge birthday
cake, and De Putiw chapter closed the
aeries showing how "Theta - Plunges” to
gain” a chapter house.

.MEMBERSHIP
LIMITED TO FIFTY.
| Membership in the club was limited to
fifty active members aud such limitation
is still a ruling. The wembershp is di
vided into several classes .active, associ
ate, out of town, and sustaining. At pres
ent the entire roster includes over two
hundred members.
At present Mrs. Frank Haight Is presi
dent of the organization, Mrs. Wilmoth
being honorary president. During • the
past few months, the activities have been
extended to the Marion County Asylum
for the Poor. Two vietrolas have been
given the inmates, one for the men and
one for the women, with a variety of rec
ords. Also a rag rug and rocking chair
was bought for one woman. On the third
Thursday of each month the club visits
the home, serving hot chocolate and cake.
During the last week Mrs. Haight, who Is
a frequent visitor at the asylum, taking
a personal interest in the various unfortu
nate folk there, received letters from two
of the old women, one blind, thanking
her for all the club had done and was do
ing for them. A number of interesting
cases have come under the notice of the
club women, one helpless woman of cul
ture being found there, who had relatives
in the Far West. The club started sleuth
ing and before long were in touch with
an attorney who said that she had been
lost trace of and her relatives were hunt
ing her. Now she is with her own peo
ple. thanks to the interest of the club.
The old ladies at the Home for Aged
are entertained monthly and during tho
summer maple rockers for the porches
were presented the home by the club.
The club was incorported In 1920.
A card party is to be given Friday,
Jan. 27, in the home of Mrs. Haight, 145
East vail Creek boulevard, the proceeds
to go for the general charity fund.
