Voters Are Invited.
On December z, and 9 the Mime
sofa League of Women Voters will
hold its first annual convention at the
Curtis hotel in Minneapolis. All the
women voters are invited to this con-
vention and it is hoped that a number
of women from Mile Laos county will
be present.
The object of the League of Women
Voters is to educate the women in the
principles Of government. and stimu-
late an active interest in the economic
and political problems of the day. 1t
is strictly an bipartisan organization
and should function twelve months of
the year.
Miss Marguerite Wells, the president,
states that the League of Women Vot-
ers should this winter work to educate
the women in the principles Of munich
pal government so they will be pre-
pared to vote, intelligently in. the
spring elections, and that they should
adopt a program of progressive social
legislation. Such program will deal
principally with child welfare, the pro-
lection of women in industry and bet
ter school laws. Very few bills are
passed in the state legislature which
have not been framed as a response to
the demands Of certain citizens of the
state. They must study the situation,
decide on certain measures and then
inform the members of the legislature
in regard to their stand in the matter.
The men were much impressed with
the intelligent voting of the women in
the recent election and will be glad to
have their counsel in regard to GER
tain subjects, especially matters of So
cial legislation.
The committee has prepared the fol-
lowing interesting program for the
meetings:
