From The Indianapolis News, Saturday, February 2, 1924: Julia Landers, long active in Marion County political affairs, announced her candidacy for the Democratic Congressional nomination to represent the 7th District today. “I will work in Congress for the child labor amendment because children of America ought to have equality of opportunity. Children that are trained in their own home and in our schools will make better citizens than those who spend their young lives in a sweat shop toiling under overseers,” she declared. A native of Indianapolis, Landers was an organizer of the League of Woman Voters and is the first woman to ever seek the Congressional nomination in Marion County. She is the second Indiana woman to seek a seat in Congress, Esther O’Keefe, of Marshall County, having been the Democratic nominee in the 13th District two years ago.
