HARDING PREDICTS
POLICY Of REFORM
WILL WIN WOMEN
Says Democrats Have "No-
toriousIy Refused" to Bring
About Changes.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated fIeSs.
MARION. Ohio, August 19.-senator
Harding declared today that the grant
of suffrage to american women would
be especially welcome to the repub-
licans in the coming campaign. be-
cause ga great moral and social re-
form, recently achieved. is menaced
by the covert purpose of our oppo-
nents to attock it."
He predicted that voting women
would stand with the republican party
through a realization that it had led
in achieving social betterment, while
the democratic party had notorious
ly refused" to enforce reform policies
american women" said Senator
Harding, in commenting on compile
tion of ratification of the suffrage
amendment by the Tennessee legis-
lature, have won their suffrage
fight, which, as an organized contin-
uing movement, has covered three
quarters of a century. Their victory
is dramatic, because 1T comes as the
rewardsof a great final drive that now
has insured to all American women
full participation in the most crucial
national election in many years. Yet
important as are the issues in this po-
litical contest, we may well doubt ir
history will recognize any other phase
of it as equal in Importance to the
fact that in this year the women o.
America for the first. time took their
full part in determining the national
destinies and maintaining our nation
ality.
Women Won own victory.
However much some of US may be
pleased with the congratulations
which today assure us that we helped
bring about this result, the fact re-
mains that the women won their own
victory. Their long struggle against
many discouragements- has been a
splendid preparation for the duties
now imposed on them. They will be
full partners in shaping national pro-
grams and policies. However they
may divide politically. their finer
moral sense, their social instincts,
their primary concern for home and
family and health anu education will
be a constant inspiration to an in
sistence upon higher and better aims
in our national life.
Whoever will consider the practi-
cal contributions of women to ma
tfonal advancement, especially in the
quarter century since the woman's
club movement became driving
force, must recognize what it means
to enlist now. the full power of wo-
manhood in public affairs. I look
upon the enfranchisement OF women
as an accomplishment to be rated
along with our achievement of inde-
pendence. our preservation function,
our emancipation of the slaves, and
our contribution in the world war to
the rescue of civilization itself.
Feels Secure Of Effects.
"As to immediate political effects,
we republicans may and do feel Sc
cure In this campaign we face issues
ON which we may be confident that
the voice of womanhood will pro-
nounce for ms. Once more the real in
dependence Of our nation is involved.
