Have Common Purpose.
Mrs. Park, official head of the visit
ing delegation of speakers called atten-
tion to the fact that it is not the pur-
pose of the league to consider politics
from the partisan angle, because among
the women who are active in the league
work are many who have pronounced
party views. But all are working for
higher standards of government for the
benefit of society generally. She point
ed out that the delegation which is now
in this city working with others who
are holding meetings in other cities,
were before the platform committee of
the national Republican convention in
Chicago to get certain planks incorpo-
rated, and they are going TO San Fran
cisco to ask that the national Demo
cratic party incorporate identically the
same platform planks, to the end that
those subjects may be taken out of the
political contest and backed by uniyer-
sal appeal, may sooner or later be en-
acted into the laws of the land.

league is asking both political parties
