Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Thc attitude
in Washington toward the new "Voters'
League created BY the National American
Woman Suffrage Association in convention
this week in St Louis, is that the purpose
Of the new organization is to put forth an
"upift' programme rather than one that
is political.
Republicans and Democrats were frank
in their disapprova of the plans Of the suf-
frage association when it appeared that
their programme aimed at the establish
ment OF third party, "woman's party"
But the provision that members Of the
new league could as individuals join and
serve the political party of their choice has
saved all thc women from having to make
choice between the new association and
their parties.
To carry out "womans programme The
the Voters League will have behind it the
experience Of the National American Wom-
an Suffrage Association in it's campaigns
for suffrage. The manner Of working
through political parties to accomplish q
beneficial programme on such subjects as
women in Industry will be similar to that
used In getting the vote for women. The
one great weapon the women will have for
thcir new programme is the fruit Of their
former campaigns, the vote.
IN their recognition Of women as mart
OF their national committees, the Demo
Gratis and Republicans overlooked plans
Tor any sort Of "womans programmed Tho
Republican Womcn's Committee and tho
Democratic Womcn's Bureau arc simply
part OF the machinery Of the party for
winning elections. They do not have to

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Thoussnds
of girl war workers have left their jobs
since the armistice was signed And it is
said that outgoing trains from Washington
for the 31st of March have been sold out
for weeks. 1t is the last day the govern
ment will furnish railroad fare for the
war workers who resign.
Not more than 10 per cent Of these girls
want to go home. In the efforts that are
being made by the replacement branch of
the u. s. Employment Service and or
CARNATIONS supplementing its work, it
has been found that home is the last
place on earth most of the young women
want to go. They have had taste of ad-
venture and they believe that their one
chance for travel and independence lies
in finding jobs as far away from home as
possible.
Girls who have lived in New England all
their lives aspire to work in Detroit or San
Francisco, girls from the West want to
try some Eastern city, and above all girls
from East, West North and South want
to work in New York. Those who are now
in Washington announce that they see no
reason why Washington should not serve
as stepping stone to New York

Anywhere but
Home Again!

An incident is told by women of the
Employment Service which they say wax
ened them to the situation. An employer
in Gloversville, N. Y, wrote to Washington
for private secretary, offering S25 week
and short hours. With great pains the
Employment Service sought girl from
Gloversville. They believed the Job was
ideal for girl who could live at home and
graduated themselves when at last thew
found war worker, stenographer, from
Gloversville. In her refusal of the lob the
young lady from Gloversville gave them
the clew to what their troubles were going
to be-:
That's the last place on earth I want
to go. Give the place to some girl who
has never been in Gloversville and send me
to San Francisco, if you have place there"
Small towns in general, whether they be
their home towns not, do not stand we'll
with the girl workers. They say that they
will work for SIS a week in New York
rather than $50 week in a small town.
Among the Nlle clerks and stenographers
who came to the Capital during the war
to serve their country are thousands Of
rebellious school teachers In spite of the
efforts being made to attract them back
to their pre-war jobs they have broken
away from the routine of their cramped
lives and practically all of them say they
will not go back.

Some of the women at the convention

ern women, are Offset by the political senti-
ments of Southern women, nearly all of
whom are stanch Democrats of the 100 per
cent loyal variety, who have not forgotten
and never will forget the Civil War as they
heard it from their mothers
One of these Texas women is Mrs. Monte

granddaughter Of Samuel Hampson Borcn, a
veteran Of the Mexican War. Her grand
mother moulded bullets for the rifles of

TT USED to be the general opinion
that woman couldn't be both beau
tiful and clever. If she were clever,
then it was foregone conclusion that
her claims to pulchritude were slim.
And if she were fair to gaze upon, she
couldn't possibly possess so prosaic and
practical thing as gray matter.
But here are women, delegates to the
National American Woman Suffrage AS
sociation, who have both brains and
beauty.
In the upper left-hand corner is Mrs.
Guilford Dudley, of Nashville, Tenn, ex
president of the Tennessee State Suf-
frage Association and third vice-presi-
dent of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association. She is a woman
in whom it is said the traditional beauty
and charm of the Southerner is added
to the keen intelligence and social con-
science which go to make an ideal suf
frage worker. Her work as state chair
man of the Tennessee Women's Liberty
Loan Committee has brought her much
praise from the national officials
The lady in the upper centre is Mrs.
David O'Neil. She has served as pres
ident of the Equal Suffrage League and
is first vice president of her state asso-
citation. She is the member from Mis-
souri, on the Woman's Committee OF the
National Democratic Committee. At
present Mrs. O'Neil is chairman of the
Legislative Committee and spends most
of her time in jefferson City. She is
considered one of the most beautiful
women in ST. Louis.

In other words, these suffrage leaders
counsel the rank and file of women in the
suffrage movement to keep the men guess
mastered by the time she finds that her
doll is stuffed with sawdust
Victory in the ofing is the keynote of
the convention, and women who already
have the ballot are cheering their voteless
sisters with the assurance that it will be
only short time before Federal act will
make suffrage general to all women of the
United States.
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, of New York,
vice-president of the association, is of
the prominent women among the delegates
who is strongly favorable to the Repubi-
, can party.
! She is credited with being the presiding
genius in the recent winning campaign
hnade by the women of New York, and at
&hat time she advocated strict neutrality
land succeeded in carrying on the campaign
Jon strictly non-partisan basis.
The New York campaign is fresh in the
minds of the delegates and is exhibit A"
with them as an example of efficient work.
To women living in states where the ballot
has not yet been given to both sexes the
general advice is to win the fight first and
then select your political affiliations.
Miss Hay has stated publicly that Mis-
souri, would be better off with two Senators
like Seldep P. Spencer, the Republican in
cumbent, who has declared himself in favor
of equal suffrage.
Senator James A. Reed does not seem to
have won any kind words from the women,
for among the 'againsts" that he has
marked up to be shot at with his brilliant
invectyc is the cause of suffrage.
