you forget that politics is the 'regula-

which viii best accomplish the ends
OF just government. Women need
then. an organization through which
with other women they can study
government"
To begin the study OF civics, the
duties of citizenship through party
utteranccs is as foolish as IL would
be to seed a crop not knowing what
truit 1t would produce. not knowing
whether the fruit would prove nour-
ishing." Mrs. Bilgely explained. at
would be like planting crop which
required special soil without having
the earth OF the field analyzed to see II
the crop could flourish and yield n
harvest. First, understand the prin-
ciplcs OF government, learn TO know
what the political soil of the United
States is and then you will be ready
TO help to put in action the machinery
of that party which you believe can
cultivate II best.
Not n Partisan Body.
~ think when we speak of po-
litical body we confuse Il i'm our minds
unconsciously with a partisan body
We do not need or want a woman -
partisan organization but We do need
and want a woman's political organ
ization. There exists no league In
America today except the League of
Women Voters. whose object is 10
acquaint gomen with the facts OF gov
ernment and TO keep them In touch
with political happenings. There are
those who object TO our league be-
cause II is an organization entirely
OF women and / grant that a similar
organization made up of men and
women would be ideal, but no such or
ganization exists.
II all women were fully CONVEX

efs Politics In its widest seuee is

Women need a political organlza-
ton free from allegiance 10 anv party
through which they may not onlv
