Miss Jessie Haver Declares They
Are Fully Awake to Their
Needs and Power.
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH.

American women are going to ex-
ercise their right of the franchise at
the polls this fall in large numbers,
according to a statement made today
by Miss Jessie Haver, legislative sec
retary Of National League OF Women
Voters, based on reports on female
registration, which she has received.
"I wouldn't care to predict just how
many women will vote this fall, but
the great majority Of them will go to
the polls" said Miss Haver. "Of
course, there are only $4,000. 900 won-
en- who are newly enfranchiseed by
the ratification OF the suffrage
amendment, nearly an equal' NUMBER

There are some women, OF course.

posed to the vote, or they are timid.
vote or maybe they are just indiffer-
ent From everywhere. we are get
ting requests for information on how
to vote and reports OF registration by
women show the registration to be
heavy.
'Tn those States where the suffrage
movement has been the strongest the
women will vote in largest numbers,
for those are the women who are edu-
Gated to the need of their votes.
1--WE are going to do more than
vote, though we are going to work
for corrective legislation. Now that
we have the vote IL seems that Con-
gress must be more responsive to the
demands OF women, or else Congress
will fail to represent the people
"One of the nrst demands that we
will make upon Congress will be for
the passage of legislation to curb the
activities Of the packers in their con-
troll of food products, We don't take
much interest in the agreement for
dissolution of the unrelated packer
industries which Attorney General
Palmer has effected. We favor Cow
ernment by legislation rather than by
injunction and we are going to see
that Congress passes legislation to
take the control of foodstuffs out OF
the hands OF the packers.
I'VE are going to push for other
legislative reforms which will be OF
value to women and the nation as a
whole, and we are going to fght for
these reforms with all OF our energy.
Maybe the women of America haven't
been always awake to their needs, but
now that we have the ballot the time
has come when we must awaken to
our power and demand those things
which we need"
