Miss Boswell said in par:
We feel that We as women can appeal
to women and to men throu ghout the coun-
try to read the history OF the country and
there hnd out We are standing and doing
the work which may he our work In help
ing YOU 10 get there on election day. We
have been appealed 10 by other parties.
and some OF the things they promised
for Us we're attractive. but We feel and
know that the performance of the past
years of the q. q = Is way beyond any
will-o -the-Wisp promises. In some OF them
We are reminded OF the old story about
the lightning hug The lightning bug isbrill-
liant, but /, hasn't any mind; II ~anders
through creation with it, headlight on
behind" and We know that tho Republi-
can pxrty always puts out the strong. clear
searchlieht looking into all phases ana
seeing what should be done for the benefit
OF the whole people and doing it We are
where We are Now. then. We have our
| womans department OF ~ National Com
mittee, and We aim 10 do practical work.
| and We ARE doing practical worry The nrs'
way in which we women are going to help
| the men In this State and in other States
! i, in the matter of registration. You men
! who are here represent our own districts.
| know how many of the men IN your own dis
| trct forget to register and then wl-n they
had not forgotten it when election day
comes.
The women remember that thing for them
| frequently. I know in New York city
| and ] know my fellow memhers from the
district of New York will bear me out. that
| women are most effective right in their
homes In getting the men out sometimes
shaming them out to register and then
! shamiug them sometimes into staying hons
! on election day instead OF going ont on
| holiday We have been useful frequently
! in that way We expect to be again. Just
| in that one little practical way.
| II would not become me to 20 into detail
| on any of the issues of the campaign, far
| be it from me to penetrate the intrirac cies
| of the tarn or to try to make an exposition
| of that question Yet We know that of all
| issues that touches first the home. Tho
| National Democratic ,ommittee. following
| your long time example. nov hasa woman q
department interested in this campaign
| work, and the women OF the Democratic
psrtyare making their appeal to the " women
| all over the country to support them be-
! cause the ,arif il the cause OF the high cost
of living and because II Gov. Wilson In
/ elected an era OF low prices will Immediately
| set in.
! do not doubt that il hsIwers elscted,
! IL the country were subjected to that awful
calamity, an era of low prices would
Immediately set in, because history has
/ shown us. as has been so wonderfully shown
: o us yesterday and to-day on that point.
