Mrs. T. T. Gotham, chairman of ths Arkansas League of Women Voters made an interesting talk to representa- tive gathering of men and women in the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel last night. She outlined the extensive programme already arranged by the League oi Women Voters as the the work the wom- CT expect to do since they have been en- franchised.
 q am glad to know that the men have welcomed the women of Alabama into politics." said the speaker, and I am sure that they will do their best for the country, for they are now attend ing the citizenship school which is be- ing conducted under the League of Wom- en Voters. 1t is a splendid thing that the new citizens are ambitious and want to educate themselves in politics. They have taken their new responsibility se- riously, and 1 prophecy that we will in the near future see the men going 70 citizenship schools in their efforts to learn the old game of politics.
 She referred to the one-party states, where it was not necessary to study the situation closely, as the result. in so far as those states are concerned. is assured. The time will come, she declared. when everyone will study and not take things for granted.
 FOR NO. 1
 During the war everyone worked for one cause Mrs. Gotham stated. and there seemed to be unit of purpose with only one aim. As soon as the ar mstice was signed everyone apparently forgot this purpose for which they had worked and seemed to be scrambiing for No. 1, who was the most important number after the war.
 The League of Women Voters is non partisan, continued the speaker, and 1t is through this method that the coop erative plan which proved so successful during the war can again be brought into effect. This organization stands for the uplifting of the nation as a whole and to care for the little children, and is made up of members of every political party known to mankind.
 Although people are members of diff ferent political parties, there is no req son why there should not be warm friendship between them," stated Mrs. Gotham. Politics touches every phase of our lives. When we women are driven to the kitchen by hard necessity and turn on the water in the sink to wash the dishes we find as much politics as water coming out of the hydrant. When we send our children to school the path
