NO PLACE FOR WOMEN.
Tasman Premier's Wife Leaves Politics. CAMPAIGN TOR SILENCE. (Received 10.30 a.m.) LAUNCESTON, this day. The Premier of Tasmania, Mr. A. G. Ogilvie, K.C., having silenced the motor horns of the State, has now turned his attention to the younger generation. He issued a regulation that "no person shall, in any public street, propel a wheeled contrivance commonly known as a scooter." Mrs. Ogilvie, wife of the Premier, has decided to leave the political arena to her husband with whose views on public issues she has more than once expressed disagreement. Recently Mrs, Ogilvie opposed her husband's proposal to place restrictions upon the sounding or motor horns. "I never considered that women should take a back scat but, temperamentally and physically, they are unsuited to the life of a politician. Women have made their political differences a personal issue and have carried them outside Parliament," she said.
