 Republican women promise to do what their male associates have failed to do and to do it next year.
 Mrs. John Gliover Smith, newly ap- pointed chairman of the womens di- vision of the republican national commit tee, while attending the meeting of the committee in Washington this week, made this formal statement:
 "Women will be voting by the next presidential election. We have ratifica- tion in 19 states now. We need r more. In the south, of course, it has been re- publicans who have worked hardest for ratification. It must be remembered. too. that it was republican Congress which passed the measure. The women of the south are alive to the issues before them. It is as solid democratic south that the southern states have opposed suffrage.
 "When we finally obtain the right to vote, we women will not forget this.
