WHY THIS APATHY

The feature Of the present
election campaign that is causing
most comment is The marked
apathy that seems to exist on all
sides. This is al the mere re
markable in view of the fact that
this campaign has aseinuch in ii
to arouse public interest as any
campaign in the history Of the
nation. Nothing short Of the re
organization Of the world is at
stake. involving a life and death
struggle for democratic govern
ment. The Democratic party Is
committed TO the covenant OF the
League Of Nations and is masking
that the paramount issue. The
Republican campaign text book
expressly supresses this issue
and makes no mention Of it.
Here in Maryland we have, in
addition to the national cam
paign Of overshadowiug import
ance. one OF the most significant
intra-state fights that Maryland
has ever known. This is the con
test between Smith and Weller
Tor the United States Senate. the
importance of which TO both par
ties is well understood. Added
to al this is the acknowledgements
OF the women voters of the coun-
try, which in itself ought to be
enough to arouse the keenest in
terest.
Right on this point is where
the situation demands immediate
and energetic attention from
those in charge of the organiza-
ton OF the Democratic party.
There was considerable talk
when the State Central Commit
tee last met about the organiza-
ton OF the women in the various
Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1920-09-18

counties of the State, with view
to conducting a campaign OF ed
ucation and with the special OBJ
ject in view OF arousing the IN
terest of the women so that they
would be sure to register and
vote. As the law stands at pres
ent. there are only two registra-
ton days, namely, Tuesday, Sep
TENDER 2Sth. and Monday. Octo-
Der 9Th. but to meet the lack OF
the requisite number OF days, the
special session OF the Legislature
has been called, and the tentative
tative program IS to add two
more days for registration, name
y. Saturday. October 9Th and
Tuesday. October 18th; also. to
extend the hours Of registration
to nine O'Clock +. NJ. on each day.
1t IS absolutely vital that the
Democratic party marshall is
full strength in the registration
or the women voters. AS a mat
ter Of pure self defense, if for
no other reason, the women, as
well as hte men, have a solemn
civic duty to perform in cooper
ating to this end. Those to whom
the ideals Of democratic govern
ment mean nothing whatever
will take pains. or have someone
else take pains for them. to mus
ter the full voting strength OF thi.
element, and good government
can only be assured if those in
tcrested. in it also take. enough
trouble to show their strength
through the ballot.
The aQ-important thing right
now is registration. Up to the
present time practically nothing
has been done toward getting the
women voters actively interested
IN this. Organization is absolutely
necessary to accomplish this
both in the ranks Of the men and
OF the women voters, and it is to
he hoped that from now on &C
tivity will be shown and main
tanned at full pressure to the very
close of the campaign.
