Mrs. Park explaining what tho IoCi
amendment means to womnn. said:
To tho w"m"n--thc completion OF their
citizenship:
To tho natIon-thC realization rs n Nv
ing fact OF the Fundamental American
Ideal. that governments derive their
just powers from the consent OF the
governed
suffrage that has ever been made Mt
one time by any organized and orderly
government.
The total number OF women OF voting
age in the United States is estimated
at 27.000. 200. Between three and four
million Of them are in states where w"-
men voted In 1916. Therefore. about
23.OOOOO0 new voters will be possible
now that the federal amendment Is rati-
fled. Revolutionary China and revolu-
tionary Russia attempted to cnfran-
chisc greater number OF persons hut
their attempts were largely nullihcd
later In the United States no ono
doubts that the extension or suffrage
reason the Importance OF the woman's
vote in the next national election can
scarcely be ovcr-estimatcd.
Mrs. Park urged her hearers to re-
member that equal suffrage has been
won BY the toll and sacrifices OF threa
generations OF women and that in rec
ognttlon of their debt the women OF to-
day should do their utmost.
/. To see that women register and
vote In tn" largest possible numbers;
- To make their own votes and those
Of other women intelligent and effective
for the commonwealth:
3. To bring into the public service
the distinctive viewpoint Of women IN
all matters concerning the welfare OF
children and Of the home.
She explained that these arc the ends
for which the National League OF Wo-
man Voters was organized last Fehru-
airy by the National American Woman
Suffrage association. AZ child Of
that great and powerful association
with 2.50O.000 women organized In state
branches throughout the country. the
league inherits its memberships; Its 10y
atty to principle. and it's habit Of or
ganized cooperation in the service OF
the public. The league Is also receiving
large additions to It's membership from
the group of women who were indiffer-
ent or even opposed to suffrage In tho
pas; but who. now that the vote Is as
surcd. are anx ious to make good and In
telligent use of their ballots.
Tho League OF Women Voters Is not
allied with any political party but In
cludes women OF all parties. 1t is In
no sense separate political party OF
women, nor docs II intend eve: To be-
come such n party. On tho contrary
