Eminent legal authorities hold that
there U nothing In the Texas laws or
constitution to prevent women from
holding public office In this State ex-
cepting as members of the legislature.
This Is of Intense interest at this time
because of the right cf primary suf-
fruge given the women of Texas. It
Is expected that many will become
candidates for public office, though
none is ex ted t<> run for state of-
fice However. tuer« is no inhibition
against such candidacy. Women are
candidates for county office In sev-
eral places.
