MRS. FEICKERT SPEAKS
AT G. O. P. SESSION

Speaking at the annual conven-
ton of the New Jersey State League
Of Republican Clubs in Trenton to-
day. Mrs f. F. Feickert, vice chair
man for woman voters OF the Re
publican state committee, said:
THE organized Republican wom-
en- of New Jersey have as their
goal the breaking OF the national
record for new women voters. From
sixty to seventy per cent. of the
men vote In New Jersey in presi-
Dental elections and the women
are expected not only to do as well
themselves but also to help in
arousing Indifferent men.
The greatest problem Is TO
make the average woman realize
the importance of working in a
party organization. Being enrolled
in a party does not necessarily mean
voting for every candidate on the
party ticket, but It does mean pow
err to influence the selection OF can
didates, so that every man on the
ticket will be a man 1T for the office
he aspires to I'LL.
Senator Harding's attitude to-
ward women and women's interests
seems very satisfactory. He has a
. strong interest in the so-called
'women's planks' in the national
Republican platform, and Is doing
all he can TO get the last of the
thirty-six states needed to ratify
the federal suffrage amendment"
