couldn't be spared to go to France
But as head of the Woman Suffrage
Party, which, IN cooperation with the
Red Cross and all the other organiza-
tons working for the war did so much
to down the Germans, surely Miss
Hay can be called a politician gradu-
ated from war service. Only she was
always a veteran politician from her
cradle up, so that doesn't quite de-
scribe her.
To enumerate the war activities of
the Woman Suffrage Party would take
several pages. During one Red Cross
Week 1t raised S171 Ash for overseas
work, and it raised 1922 900 to build and
maintain Y NJ. c, A. units for New
York troops. 1t had three suffrage
garden plots in different boroughs, and
obtained thousands of signatures for
the Mayors loyalty pledge. In one
day, early in the war, the suffs placed
80 600 recruiting placards in prominent
places. They distributed Hoover pledge
cards in the food campaigns, and sold
$4,000 worth of Liberty bonds of the
first issue, $685. 900 of the second issue
and went ahead correspondingly In the
third and fourth. And of course all of
these achievements were under Miss
Hays captaincy. though her lieuten-
ants directed the details. Miss Hay is
now serving on the La Guardia, Cho-
rosh, O'Malley and Rembaugh com
mittees.
An Unofficial Worker.
Mrs. John Blair, who because OF her
responsible position in the Women's
City Club, a partisan body. is serv-
ing on no political committees, is doing
all she can, "unofficially," she says. to
elect the Democratic nominees in this
campaign. She's a dyed in the wool
Democrat, though Miss Hays right
hand in the City Club and the League
of Women Voters. Mrs. Blair was a
war worker. She organized the wom-
ans section for the suffs in the Wake
Up America parade, and she it vas
who declined to let the Mayor and
Comptroller Of the city march In front
OF her section. She wasn't going to
| have the women put in the shade.
Another suffragist who did war work
and is now doing politics is Mrs. Rob
| tTl L. N'llNtI, HdhCl VI AilC L%lSN oilth
Assembly District. She headed the
Manhattan Borough War Savings
| Stamp Association, for one thing. She
is a Democrat but against Tammany.
and also for her sex, so she is working
on the Rembnugh committee and also
| the Newhurger committee.
Then there is also Mrs Charles l.
| Tiffany, also an anti-Tammany en-
rolled Democrat. There wasn't any
! thing Mrs. Tiffany didn't DO TO help
win the war. She IS one OF those
efficient women who can run a drive
with one hand and collect funds with
the other. all the while speaking for
| something else. And she got her train
! ing in suffrage. She was chairman
/ of the committee of the women's
overseas hospitals OF the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, which sent several hospital units
abroad She worked on the speakers
bureau for the United Drive, was ac-
tive In the w. s. s. Association and
In many other things. She is on the
Rembaugh and Newburger commit
tees and is much in politics In Nassau
county, where she lives most Of the

The last thing she did was to raise
a fund to print and distribute leaflets
to enrolled women voters, leaflets con-
