THE WOMAN CITIZEN
MRS. UELAND OF MINNEAPOLIS
GIVES TALK ON LEAGUE OF
WOMEN VOTERS

! Mrs. Andreas Ueland, of Minneapo.
lis, the first woman citizen of Mime
sota' as Mrs. L. D. Brown called her
in her words of introduction, gave an
| interesting and enightening talk Wed
nesday evening at the Maud Moon
Weyerhaeuser hall, on "The Woman
Citizen.'
The gist of Mrs Ueland's talk was
the explanation of the ideas and plans
of the League of Women Voters. The
idea is for the education of women in
the political line and for the gathering
up and directing Of power in order to
accomplish certain things. Mrs. Ue4and
explained how organization was to be
made in the counties. Women will be
food supply and demand, women in in
dustry, American citizenship, school
education, public health and social hy
giene. Mrs. Ueland spoke on each one
Of these subjects showing why they oe-
Fcupy places on the program.
Women are not better than men, she
said, nor more conscientious but they
have different points of view. The
father as the breadwinner overempha-
sizes money. The woman as mother, is
more interested in the home and child
Ien.
Before deciding upon her party,
woman must study the aims and plans
Of both parties and then join the one
which promises the things most fitting
to our needs. Women should think
independently and not join either party
simply because father or husband be-
longs to it.
Mrs. Ueland spoke of Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait and her wonderful work
for suffrage. The right to vvte. is a
"little bit Of sovereignty and every
woman should avail herself Of the op-
portunities which are coming to enable
her to vote intelligently.
