WOMEN DOING NOBLY

III Is most gratifying 10 note the
keen interest the women of our
state are taking in things political.
They are eager for information that
will aid them to become better cit
Hens. X epublicans are more afraid
of the Independent woman vote than
of any other question. Their fear is
justified, for women by nature cher
ish peace. They believe that the
master minds Of the world have
found in the League of Nations COW
enanl a formula for world peace.
The League covenant is not the pro-
duct of any single intellect, but the
net result of the supreme effort Of
the best brains of the world in
quest of insurance against human
slaughter.
The great body of Clergy. ire
speCtive of denomination. at all
times have been heartily in favor OF
our entering the covenant. This is
testified tO by the resolutions pass
ed by numerous religious organiZa-
tiOnS. forwarded to Washington, and
entered upon the Congressional Re-
cords. Ii would be impossible to
enumerate them all, but among the
more important ones that have pass
ed such resolutions, the following
may be mentioned
Federation Council of Churches
of Christ in America
World Alliance for international
Friendship Through the Churches
Trustees of the Church Peace
Union.
General Assembly of the Presby-
terian Church in America.

Episcopal Church.
Unitarian Church.
International Federation of Cath
olic Alumnae.
Council of Jewish Women,
National Society of Christian En-
deavor.
General Federation of Womens
Clubs.
Mid-Year Conference of Home
Missions.
Secretaries of Disciples of Christ.
Northern Baptist Convention.
During the stress and grief of war
! Henry Cabot Lodge advocated the
League of Nations, but after the ar
mistice had been signed, all at once
it seemed to dawn upon the Lodges
and the BOrahs that to ratify the

The Democratic party kept its

which is being shed upon The past
and present "bossism" rule in New
Mexico. by the two greatest indie
pendent Republican Dailies in the
! State-the New Mexican and the
Morning Journal. BY their unfalter-
ing and able support of Judge Han
ma, they have proven their willing
uess 10 put clean government above
partisan politics.
For the above reasons and many
Others. believe the majority of the
women of New Mexico will vote for
Cox and Hama on November Second
! Their election means Peace, Pro-
gress and Prosperity in Nation and
state.

State Central Committee.
