White, Mrs. Cannot, Mrs. krsser
Speak
The mems and the women's divi-
sions of the Republican State COM
mittee met Tuesday, in joint session
at the Augusta House to consider
matters of importance to the party
and workers. One of the principal
subjects for discussion was the prop
osition made to the women to join
the National Women's party, and
how it should be answered.
Luncheon was served at l o'clock
and Mrs. Guy P. Gannett, chairman
Of the women's division Of the State
committee. presided at the business
meeting which followed. Congress-
man Wallace H. White. Jr., was the
first speaker. He argued against
the afiiliation Of Maine women with
the National Women's party on the
ground that the ballot is not sex
issue and that there should be room
for no class organizations in poll
tics. He emphasized the necessity of
two strong parties under our form
Of political management and urged
that it is far better for the women to
join either the Republican or the
Democratic party. as they prefer,
than to group themselves together
simply as women voters.
Governor elect Frederic Fl. Park
hurst was present and made an op-
timistic and enthusiastic address.
He also urged against the idea Of a
political party composed wholly of
women, believing that both the men
and the women will accomplish far
more with less effort If they cooper
ate and concentrate on the things
which they mutually desire.
Mrs. w. r. Kreger of Fairfield
told Of the manner in which women
are being approached on this mat
ter and urged the need Of taking ac-
ton on it.
Mrs. Gannett related something Of
her visit to Marion, o.. when Senator
Harding addressed large numbers Of
women who had gathered from all
over the country. and spoke in par
ticular of what he had to say about
the creation of a government depart
ment of social welfare.
The committee decided to work for
the formation of Republican clubs
throughout the State which shall be
open to men and women equally.
Decision was deferred on the nation
al proposition.
