Show Women Elected. Kanab is the second town in the United States to electa woman wom-an for mayor and the only town in the country to have a governing govern-ing board composed entirely of women. At the regular election last week Mrs. Mary Howard was chosen by the voters here to be President of the Town Board. And to assist her in the council were elected Mrs. Vinnie Jepson, Mrs. Tamer Hamblin, Mrs. Blanche Hamblin, Mrs. Luella McAllister. The various political parties were not much in evidence a sort of citizen's ticket prevailed. Everything was done peacefully. A town in Kansas is the only other to have a woman mayor. She is doing good work in the civic reform of her city setting well the example for those who may follow. Kane County News. |
