Chairman Hays Says They Will Be Civ
en- Full Consideration Due All
Other Individuals in
the Party.

Washington. D. c., May 22.--Impor-
tant subjects dealing with party organi-
zation were discussed at Republican
pices of the Republican woman's ma.

Hays, chairman Of the Republican ma
tional committee, in an address outlin-
ing the part to be played by women in
the affairs of the party under the re-
Gently adopted plan, asserted the WON
en- would get the full consideration due
all other individuals in the party.
Reports on organization work pre-
paratory to the next campaign were
heard from representatives Of the three
groups of states-Mrs. Florence Porter
Of California, speaking for the states in
which women have complete franchise
Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter of Kan
sas, for the partially enfranehised states,
and Miss Msude Wetmore Of Rhode Is
land, for the unfranchised group.
"There is but one possible rule for a
political party said Chairman Hays in
his address, "and that is that the rights
of the individual membership to parti-
cipate in the management OF the party 8
affairs must be and remain equally sa-
cred and saeredly equal. The Republican
women in this country are part Of the
party membership. In many states this
has long been SO. They come into this
party activity not as women but as vot-
ers, entitled to participate and bartiei-
pating in so far as the present legal linn
itations permit, just as other voters.
"There is to be no separate women's
organization created within the party,
except and only in those cases where
such an arrangement may be needed
temporarily as an efficient instrument in
the aid OF the complete amalgamation
which is our objective"
