DENIED OFFICES BY
ONE WORD WOMEN

CONSTITUTION OF OKLAHOM>
SPECIFIES MALE CITIZENS
OVER 30 YEARS OF AGE
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 19. (JP)
Another determined attack is beinj
made by feminine forces on the las
masculine stronghold in Oklahoma
politics—eight major state offices
denied to women because of a bar ir
the state constitution.
The barrier seemingly is frail; it
consists simply of the word “male."
Some eminent legal authorities say
it already has fallen, but the deter
mined legion of women who have
been battering at it for the last eight
years say they would not be satis
fied with anything less than its an
nihilation.
The constitution specifies that the
offices of governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, secretary of state, attorney
general, treasurer, superintendent of
public instruction, auditor and ex
aminer, and inspector, may be held
by any “male citizen” more than' 30
years old.
The word can be eliminated only
by constitutional annulment, sub
mitted to the voters by the legisla
ture or by initiative petition. One
such amendment was approved by j
the voters but was found, that the
legislature’s resolution submitting it
had been adopted by less than the
necessary two-thirds majority.

was no easy job for the members of
the committee. Decisions were close
on many of the designs. The con
trolling points considered by the
committee were first the symbolical
significance of the design and second
its simplicity or adaptability for use j
i as a flag.
