WOMEN WILL FORM DEMOCRATIC CLUB To Make National Cam paign for Nominee of
 the Party

Washington. May 3.-(SpeeiaL)-The Womens National Democratic club will be organized at the New Willard hotel at l0so o'clock tomorrow morning.
 It's purpose is to organize state clubs throughout the country, establish head quarters in Baltimore for convention week and work for the election of the nomi- nees of the democratic convention, no matter whom he may be. Incidentally, the members husbands will not play large part In the Women's National Dem ocratic club. It's a women's affair first and last.
 It was Mrs John Sherwin Crosby of New York who organized the Womens Democratic club of that city, and who. as president of the Womans Single Tax league. came 10 Washington for their gathering, in whom the uncertain ones found the logical woman to call the meet irg. She has not a husband with poit- ical ambitions. and everybody with such encumbrance could follow her lead. Thus it happens that Mrs Crosby, on request, has called the meeting witch tomorrow nofntng will earfset tho OFFS tsation.
 After the perlnaheri Dfg@ni2 ion is per- fected a vice president from each statc will he appointed by the president, and 1t will be the duty of these vice presl- dents to organize clubs in their home states There will be carried forward an active political eampaign for the election of the national democratic ticket and incidentally there will be campaign of political education for women both in and out of the clubs. The purpose of the clubs. among other things, is to get wom- en to answer the question:: Are you democrat and If not. why not?'' Also, 'If you are a democrat, do you know why you are one, save for the merely incidental fact that you happened to be the daughter of one. or that you hap pened 10 marry one of the faith?'
