Dorothy Bush woman wh0....
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women’s Editor
MIAMI BEACH (UPI)—In
the words of a politician’s
introduction, “Dorothy Vreden
burgh Bush is the woman
wh0...”
Mrs. Bush, secretary of the
Democratic National Commit
tee, is the one who calls the
rolls of states at every vote
taken by delegates at the
party’s national convention.
Mrs. Bush moves front and
center stage tonight when the
first official session of the
convention begins with a
crucial fight over credentials.
About 15,000 persons throng
ing Convention Hall and mil
lions of television viewers will
hear the calm, cool voice of
this attractive woman for
whom this convention equals a
record and sets a precedent.
Mrs. Bush, the first woman
to become secretary of the
committee, has been on the
podium every convention year
since 1944. The only other
person to equal her record was
Frederick O. Prince of Massa
chusetts, secretary from 1860 to
1888.
This is the first year that the
call of states will be by lot,
instead of in alphabetical order.

go,” she said in an interview at
the party’s headquarters. It
never has.
Those who work with Mrs.
Bush say she “keeps her cool”
no matter what the pressures,
and this year promises to be
one of the most hectic.
“I find,” she said, “that as a
woman you get better things
out of life by being pleasant. I
try also to have my records as
nearly perfect as possible, but
you’re dealing with people. You
get dropouts, changes. Nothing
is letter perfect.”
In her years with the
committee as a nonsalaried
officer, Mrs. Bush has seen
women’s role in politics grow
steadily. At this convention, the
rules call for as nearly as
possible equal division between
the sexes on the three standing
committees—rules, credentials
and platform.
Estimates from various party
sources list the number of
women delegates at 38 to 40 per
cent this year, compared with
13 per cent in 1968.
Women, she said, deserve
more political recognition “be
cause they do a good job.”
She’s not an active liberation
ist— ”1 do believe in equality of
pay for hours worked, but I still
like to have a man around the
house if there’s a mouse in the
kitchen.”
Mrs. Bush came into national
politics as Alabama’s national
committeewoman for the Young
Democrats. She served as a
vice president of the Young
Democratic Clubs of America
from 1943 to 1948 and in 1944
was its acting president, the
only woman to hold that
position.
She was 27 when the party
named her secretary in 1944, to
succeed a man who resigned.
She’s been elected each four
years since.
In loving memory of my
husband, J. D. Nichols, who
passed away one year ago
today, July 10, 1971.
Death is a Heartache that
nothing can heal.
Memories are something
that no one can steal.
The sunshine lost its
brightness the day you went
away.
So many things bring
memories through every
passing day.
God saw you getting weary.
He did what he thought best.
He put his arms around you,
and whispered come on
Home and take your rest.
God gave us strength to
accept it, and courage to
bear the blow.
But what it meant to lose
you, no one will ever know.
Loved and sadly missed by
