That is one of the ideas passed on
by Speaker Champ Clark, greeting the
fifth annual convention of the Woman's
National Democratic League. The con-
vention is in session at the Raleigh

Another thought suggested by Speak

ed Speaker of the next session of Con-
gress on the first ballot He admits it
will be close. as was the election.
And as Speaker of the next House,
he pointed out, he will be the first
Speaker to swear in woman as n
member Of Congress. And this allusion
brought applause from his 200 hearers.
Applauding the part of women in the
past election in behalf of the democratic

Dragged Of the accomplishments OF the
present Congress, of Democratic complex
ion, declaring that it has passed more
laws than any previous Congress and
that 1t has held sessions more days than
any two preceding Congresses.

try one of them should write national
hymn.

return to the White House.
Representative James Thomas Helm
of Alabama made an address of well
come. He said, in part:
I'm the last presidential election,
when the aristocracy of the dollar and
the democracy of the human were con-
tending for supremacy in the repub-
lie, and when sinister interests We're
corrupting the voter and making barter

rendered signal service in saving the
nation from tne hangers tndt threat
ened 1t.
Some Of you vote and some OF you
do not. Some OF you oppose woman

Of 1t. All OF you have voice in the
conduct OF the government, Tor, reaiiy
and truly. you are the inspiring power
behind every movement OF value In the
country.
you are the dearest taskmasters that

and SO adroitly that you make US men
