100 years ago The Bonneville County Republican Central Committee met on Dec. 20, 1920, with a special item on its agenda: augmentation of the organization to give women representation. The vote in favor was held in the offices of Oscar Johannassen. âThis policy was decided upon so that the Republican women may have a voice in the deliberations on party management,â the Salt Lake Tribune reported. âHeretofore no women have been members of the central county committee. Several will be appointed in the near future to act on the committee. Applications of candidates for appointive positions were brought before the body for consideration.â
