The Ladies of Carneys Point met at
the "Y" on Thursday afternoon for the
purpose of organizing a league of
women voters. The hall was nearly
filled and Rev. 0. Bell Close introduc-
ed the speakers. He introduced his
wife first as the most beautiful woman
in the U. S. She gave a very inter
esting and instructive talk to the
women. She spoke of "
failing in anything they undertook and
knew they were going to put this over.
Mrs. Henry Sturgess, former Presi-
dent of the Mothers Club, gave a
short talk. She said work could only
be done by organizing and in organic
ing we could train women for citizen
ship. Women should feel as much the
responsibility of voting as they do IN
their home. Now that the fight is
over and women have got the vote,
what are you going to do with it i?
When women vote they should look
well into the mans character and see
to it that he is a Christian. Women
should step up, stand up for right.
Wherever we find it women will purify
politics. Mrs. Edward Parker, of
Philadelphia, was then introduced.
She gave a very lengthy talk. Poll
tics she said have fallen into poor es-
TEEN and it is our work to put it on
its proper pedestal. Who would be
ashamed to be a politician -? A big
contract but we will put it over. Men,
she said made a mess of things, but
the women were going to clean 1t up.
