Edwards of Indiana, was passed unanimously: ) Whereas, the leader of the little group of women known as the anti suffragists who for a decade have helped to defeat woman suffrage by discrediting all who advocated it ,r now directing their familiar slanders to, Mr. Will II Hays, chair man of the republican national com mittee, because they say he has in fluenced ratification in several states by appealing to the younger element in the republican party for the sup port of suffrage. Be It Jiesolved: That the Na tional American Woman Suffrage association with 2,500,000 organized women congratulates the republican party upon having a chairman who is astute enough to recognize the certain trend of .public affairs and to attempt to lead his party In step with the inevitable march of human progress. We extend to Mr. Hays our sin cere gratitude for any and all help Jie may have rendered on behalf of ratification and assure him that our members being progressive women Jiope to align themselves with the "younger element'1 of the parties-of their choice, whichever party that may be. A Message From Hays. k 'The suffrage amendment has passed," wrote Will H. Hays, re publican national chairman, in a 'message of greeting to the conven tion,, ' The rapidity with which this was done by tl-e republican mpior ity ai.d the overwhelming repuLli-1 can majority vote speak tor tliem selves. The republican women, coming more and more into the rights of their full citizenship,' are most important factors in the situ ation. The only just rule for political party is that the rights of participation in the management of tf) party's affairs must be and re sinain equally . sacred and . sacredly ' equal. Tha republican women in the country constitute one-half ot rlie party's membership. In the presidential campaign of 1920 it .is my very earnest hope and well founded judgment that it shall be so everywhere. The republican women come into the party activity not as women but as voters entitled to1 par ticpate, and participating just as other voters." Mr. Hays declared the wometi voters could be trusted to support the things for wheh the republican Jierty standi, including compulsory education, an eight hour day for women, prohibition of chid laboir. humanixation of industry, a national budget system , and the . eradication of radical socialism and unrest.

More and more the- parties are becoming" the powers in this country. "I don't know whether it is wis and right, but it is the trend of the present political parties. In stead of appealing to them, it is bet ter to get on the inside and get the tilings you desire. "As I read the signs, there is to be a continuation of the old familiar strife. For the last 60 years - we have been trying to convince the men of the ability of women. You've got to convert the men. "The league -is .going to educate tVbmen for citizenship. It wilt be non-partisan. The democrats from Alabama and the republicans from .ew Hampshire must get together in the league and be friends, Then each can return to her own party In her own state and vote. "And I'll warn you that there is only one man in 25 who is bisr enough to understand how you can work in an organization of this kind and be nonpartisan.' Some of you will be won over and fooled .'bv them.- But I wish to say. that the suffragists for the last 30 years, more than any other body of wam en, have kept the flag flying for the pinciples of the constitution and the things for which. -this government stands.' If vou are coiner to be five ears behind the pqlitical parties von! might just as well have . no league. You -must keep five years in advance of them if you are to per form your part ..And. I have full confidence in the conscientious pur pose and moral outlook of the body.".- - V- Statement by Miss Hay. A Iialf-rnntllFW nt 'ft7if' mwl c-n: . ...... J . , ' C. 1 I - nee lies behind 'the woman suffrage movement: before us unrolls a fu ture big with possibility' and promise as the women of the nation begin to use their new political liberty. . ' Until they had a voice in the man agement of their government few women were partisan. Now, with the big problems of -the nation to be soived, they must choose a political party in order that their influence and voice may count. It is inevita ble that this cannot be accomplished as a woman s entitv: there is too great difference of opinion regard ing what is to be done and how k. is to" be accomplished. So, that they nny be a real factor In meetincr this crisis in the country, women should waste no time and effort, but choose one of the existing organizations and through its machinery make her influence felt and her voice, .count. . 1'ersonally I have chosen the re publican-party,, and there are many reasons for this. Take, as an exam ple, its record on suffrage. Straight through .suffrage; history it Jias.been aided by the republican party, or by repuhhean men. . Moreover,. -of ; the 31 states which have passed the fed eral suttrage amendment Z6 are re publican; the state where special session has been called for February 16 is republican, and the only state's so far which have refused to ratify have been democratic. The republican party has been consistently forward-looking; it has nern the party of vision, but not. visionary; constructive yet conserva tive: progressive but nractical: its aim the1 good of the country, not of a section.' .

The old rag doll still retains its supreme seat in the realm of child fa.icy, despite the invasion of air planes that fly, bisque' dolls that walk, talk and roll their eyes; wire less sets that wire and automobiles that auto, according to Homer Stephens,- president of the American Toy. Exhibitors, Inc.; under whose auspices 600 American toy manu facturers arc exhibiting their wares litre. "Although we have every form of toy imaginable which can and does please the heart of the child, there is nothing I ke the old rag doll," Mr. Stephens said. "There were more rag do'ls manufactured and sold last year than ever before, and I understand the ' demand has in creased this year. "All toy manufacturers have in ventors. who turn out new articles cveiy year. This year's innovation is the popular priced toy phono graph, which plays any record and costs but a few dollars, Toys this year have been made especially .to promote what might be called ju venile engineering.' "They are built for the purpose of insiilling the constructive spirit m the child, and we have found a market for those things even among t'ne grown-ups. "But the American child still de mands her rag dell." To Protect Women's Citizenship. It is high time to get away from the old idea that the wife is the chattel of the husband, Representa tive Rogers, republican, of Massa chusetts, told the house immigra tion committee, in urging enactment of a law under which American women, marrying aliens and remain ing in this country, would retain their citizenship after adoption of the suffrage amendment. Mr. Rogers declared his measure did not protect wealthy "American title hunters," adding that he was not interested in extending the right of citizenship "to women who think so little of it that they go abroad to live." ' In pointing out that his measure would not give the right of citizen ship to an alien woman marrying an American, Mr. Rogers said this was done so that to be naturalized "a woman would have to go through the same machinery with the man." Mrs, Maude Wood Park, president of the National League of Women Voters, indorsed the Rogers bill. American Legion Auxiliary.. Muskogee (Okl.) women have or ganized what they claim is the first woman's auxiliary to the American Legion, Twenty mothers, wives, sisters and daughter of former serv ice men comprise the charter roll of the organisation.
