Must Be Admitted On Equal
Terms With Men In All

MRS. CARRIE Gait
VOICES DEMANDS
Only Way to Get Things In This Coun-
try Is Inside of Political Parties -
Must Go In With the Men who
Form Political Platforms.


Form Political Platforms.
CHICAGO, Feb. l6.-The new League
of Women Voters, into which the Nation
al Woman's Suffrage association is drift
ing, has made its political demands
equal voice and leadership with men in
councils directing the two political par
ties.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait voiced the
demands at the opening session of the
congress of the new league of women
voters. She urged every woman voter
to. affiliate herself at once, with one of
the big parties. She made plea that the
new league be steered safely along a
non-partisan course and rebuked mem
bers who have been attempting to inject
party politics in their attacks upon it.
She shot several sarcastic shafts at the
male politician and the "standpatters'
in partisan politics.
There seems to be quite a good deal
of opposition to the league, even in this
body" she continued. 1T is mostly DO
litical. Those enrolling members in the
political parties have made caustic re-
marks and cutting criticisms regarding
the league of women voters. They seem
to think it is going to keep the women
out of the parties.
"For sixty years we have been appeal
ing to the parties for the vote. 1t is pos.
sible for us now to remain outside of
those parties and obtain the things we
want without petitioning them? If we
are still to be petitioners, what was the
idea of getting the vote? The only way
to get things in this country is to get
them on the inside of the political party
More and more the parties are becoming
the powers in this country. | don't know
whether this is wise or right, but it is
the trend of the present political parties
Instead of appealing to them for the
things you want, it is better to get on
the inside and get the things you want.
'How this is to be done is for you
to decide. | cannot advise where
cannot follow. This is the fight fol
the younger and more vigorous women
The battle is there and we can't AFFORD
to be such cutters as to stay on the out
