National Woman Suffrage
Association Extends
Congratulations

The most impressive, and prob
ably the most representative gather
ing OF sutfragists ever held is that
which gathered in Chicago to cele-
hrate the ratification OF the suffrage
amendment. More than 1000 dele
gates were i'll attendance, and the
following resolution, introduced by
Mrs. Robert h. Edwards OF Indiana,
was passed unanimously:
Whereas, the leader of the little
group of women known as the anti
sufragists who for a decade have
helped to defeat woman suffrage by
discrediting all who advocated it
are now directing their familiar
slanders TO Mr.. Will H. Hays, chair
man OF the republican national COM
mittee, because they say he has in
fuenced ratification in several states
by appealing to the younger element
in the republican party for the sup
port of suffrage.
Be 1t Resolved: That the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage
association with 2,500,000 organized
women congratulates the republican
party upon having a chairman who
is astute enough to recognize the
certain trend of Jpublic affairs and
to attempt to lead his party in step
with the inevitable march of human
progress. g..
We extend to Mr.. Hays our SIN
cere gratitude for any and all help
he may have rendered on behalf of
ratification and assure him that our
members being progressive women
hope to align themselves with the
younger element" of the parties of
their choice, whichever party that
may be.
A Message From Hays.
The suffrage amendment has
passed" wrote Will H. Hays, re-
publican national chairman, in a
message of greeting to the conven.
ton. The rapidity with which this
was done by tie republican major
ity ard the overwhelming repuLli-,
can majority vote speak for them-
selves. The republican women,
coming more and more into the
rights of their full citizenship are
most important factors in the situ-
alton. The only just rule for a.
political party is that the rights of
participation in the management of
the party's affairs must be and re-
main equally sacred and sacredly
equal. The republican women in
the country constitute one-half OF
the party's membership. In the
presidential campaign of 1920 it is
my very earnest hope and we'll
founded judgment that it shall be SO
everywhere. The republican women
come into the party activity not as
women but as voters entitled to par
ticpate, and participating just as
other voters"
Mr.. Hays declared the womet.
voters could be trusted to support
the things for which the republican
party stands, including compulsory
education, an eight hour day for
women, prohibition of child labor.
humanization of industry, a national
budget system and the eradication
OF radical socialism and unrest.
A New Battle Cry.
A new battle cry for the women
of the nation--a demand for equal
voice and leadership with the man
in the councils directing the destin-
ies--was sounded by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait at the opening ses-
sion of the congress.
Mrs. Gait urged every woman
voter to affiliate herself at once with

The old rag doll still retains its

Although we have every form OF
toy imaginable which tan and does
please the heart of the child, there
is nothing Ike the old rag doll"
Mr.. Stephens said. There were
more rag dolls manufactured and
sold last year than ever before, and

of law under which American
women, marrying aliens and remain

their citizenship after adoption OF

did not protect wealthy american
title hunters" adding that he was
not interested in extending the right
of citizenship "to women who think
so little OF it that they go abroad to
live" %
In pointing out that his measure
would not give the right of citizen
ship to an alien woman marrying an
Mr.. Rogers said this was
done so that to be naturalized "a
