indicate that to a great extent ma
tional party leaders are depending
upon the women delegates to create
and maintain an harmonious atmos-

that women's advice will be sought
on questions pertaining 10 the in

II is encouraging 10 suffrage
workers to note the liberalism with
which the democratic party has re-
garded the suffrage situation. IL is
felt by the women leaders Of the
country that the democratic party
has been thoroughly in symI athy
with the fight for woman's enfran-
chisement, and many women pros
pective voters will pledge their sup
port TO the party which has openly
sponsored the cause of equal suf-
frage. IL is not.the purpose OF the
League OF Women Voters, however,
to universally affiliate with a party
merely because OF active support IN
their behalf
Purpose OF League.
IL IS the desire of the league 20
enroll all members in a national
party in order TO attain the results
for which the league is organized.
The organization will not instruct its
members in the matter Of choosing
party affiliations, but will request
that all women exercise their best
Judgment in selecting their Iarty.
At stated conventions Of the ma
Uonal and state leagues resolutions
Will be adopted and recommended
for the consideration OF the national
party committees.
Just how great will be women's
influence in politics OF the immedi-
ate future may be judged by the re-
ports from the convention which
Will be In session during the coming
