By MILDRED NORRIS,
IaterustionaI News Service.


Triumphant over their showing ut
the polls, the women are now pre-
pairing to make their voice heard In
the new Administration.
WILL WORK ON CONGRESS.
Alice Paul, chairman OF the National
Woman's Party. sounded q warning
today that from now on the woman
vote will act as an organised force
and the voice of woman will make
loud and insistant noise In public AZ
fairs.
Programs announced by the various
organizations indicate that the new
Congress will be descended upon by
tho largest army of feminine lobby
4 lists ever mobilized for action.
President-elect Harding Is to be
) reminded Of his campaign statement
that q Federal Department OF Well
fare Is needed with a woman at It's
head as q member of the cabinet He
will be called upon to make good.
Who the first woman member Of
the cabinet will be IL already the

Roosevelt and Mrs. Raymond Robins.

mentioned as possibilities.
The next big thing on the program
will be the national convention or

WOMEN ARE PLEASED.
Yesterdays election marked ."the
closing chapter in the women's fight
for political freedom" Alice Paul de-
clared today. Together with the other
woman leaders here she expressed de-
light over the .outpouring of women
at the polls. Her opinion that the
results of the election did not re-
feet the attitude OF the women on
tho dominant issues of the, campaign
since they had no time to organize to
make their wishes felt and had no
voice in the making OF party plat
forms or the selection of. candidates
is shared by other non-partisan lead
ers who refrained from taking stand
on the League Of Nationss'
"The women have new rights to
win II they are to achieve full
equality" SAID Miss Paul ''They must
begin to organize now for the NEXT
step. Tho woman's vots Will not per
init Of clear Interpretation until 1t Is
effectively organised.
Yesterdays election demonstrated
only one thing-the eagerness OF the
women to participate in national
politics.
''The great mass OF women voted to
vote. They received the ballot too
late to make their wishes felt either
in tho conduct Of the campaign or In
the final vote. The woman sentiment
was not crysta1lized."

mitted to it by the new President for
its consideration. For under tn"
Constitution, 1t is held, only the
President shall have power, by and
with the advice and consent Of the
Senate, to make treaties"
WILSON'S OPINION.
President Wilson himself is under
stood to hold the opinion that Presi-
dent Harding will yet be forced Go
lend his support to the League Of Ma
tions. And should the President once
again take the Treaty OF Versailles
out Of the cubby-hole. where IL hes
been resting for months and send g.
back to the Senate. 1t is contendsd
here he would have the support o.
such Republicans as ex7President
William H. Taft. Elihu Root, Herbert
Hoover, and other pro-league mem
bers OF the G. o. p.
President Wilson, however, is not.
expected to take any direct step TO
resubmit the treaty much before his
retirement from office, unless assured
Of its ratification fairly intact.
Nevertheless certain league-at-any-
price advocates, on both sides of TIL
party fence, would like to see il re-
submitted at once, providing the
hazards favored its passage with tn"
Lodge reservations attached. The
President, though, is reputed to be o:
the opinion that partisan politics.
rather than pure merit Of the leagun
issue decided the election YESTERDAY
and for that reason 1t IL deemed
likely he would prefer to postpone
further action on the pact until polit-
ical hot-heads cool off.
Whatever happens IL is now known
here that President Wilson intends
to keep up his fight for the leagu-
as long as breath Is left in hi.
body.
SENATOR BORAH's VIEW.
Republican friends of the League to.
day expressed themselves confident
President Harding. Immediately after
assuming office, will take the steps
necessary to enter the league. Her
bert Hoovcr's statement, issued at
Stanford University, declaring that
"to reopen the Treaty OF Versailles
for renegotiation would bring com
plete chaos to Europe and calamity
upon U.S." was much discussed here. as
showing the pro-league Republican
point of view. Senator William L.
Borah, Republican of Idaho. one OF
the original "irreconcilables" OF the
Senate. on the other hand. told the
International News Service in his
vivid way.
~ regard the election as a triumph
for nationalism and the death Of the
League of Nations"
The President-eIect, It Is expect
ed, will attempt to reconcile these
two factions as represented in thu
next Senate. His reply to q heckler
at Cleveland who asked him IL nc
stood with Taft or Johnson on the
treaty, is being quoted as evidence
Of this. He said:
81 have contributed at least one
service to America and maybe to the
world. have certainly brought Mr..
Taft and Senator johnson closer to-
gether than they ever were in their
lives before"

takes in the open air as much as he

larly big dogs, are favorites with
Senator Harding.

often Biographies, finding more en-
joyment In them than in any other
books. Alexander Hamilton Is his

has iectured on Hamilton many
times.

puts 1t.

FIRST SPEECH IMPRESSED.

Strangely enough. the FIRST political
speech Harding made won the pre-
diction that he might some day land
n the white House. During the
campaigning in the early 90s the
chairman of the republican county
committee asked Harding to 20 with
him and another young aspiring
lawyer over to Martel, n little demo-
cratic village, TO make a speech.
Harding consented reluctantly, in
sisting that he could not talk. On
the way over, II was decided that
Harding should make the opening
address-to be followed by the am
bilious young lawyer. There were
about twenty-five present in the lit
tie schoolhouse when Harding was
introduced. He launched into his
address with both the fire and logic
that not only took the chairman and
his young lawyer friend completely
OF their feet. but the crowd as well.
Concluding his address the chairman
arose to Introduce the young lawyer.
only to find every one going out,
satisfied with the first speech This
was Harding's first political speech.
Shortly thereafter, n political rally
was arranged for at Scottown Grove,
located In the northern part OF the
county and well known as an assem-
bling place for speeches and family
reunions. To this very grove. later
days, came Mckinley and others Of
