TO foster true patriotism and love of
country, and to aid in securing for man
kind all the blessings of liberty
This act Of Congress. it is claimed,
made the Daughters of the American
Revolution a body of judicial standing,
but did not grant the society the privi-
lege of entering into active party poll
ties. The step taken by the managers
of the Daughters of the American Rev
olution is also regarded as significant
from the fact that they have always
been seriously opposed to woman suf-
frage or the right of any woman to en-
ter the arena of politics.
