Mrs. Clarence Benson Boley, a Re
publican candidate for the House Of
Delegates, and Mrs. William f.
Jump, who is active In Democratic
politics, the League of Women Voters
of Talbot county is showing the way
to the electorate Of this State in a
fight to enact needed social and
humanitarian legislation.
The league, at its recent meetings,
has made 1t clear that its members
will support no candidates of either
party who will not pledge themselves
to the proposed legislation. 1t has
adopted concrete platform on which
it is making an energetic cam.
paign, holding frequent meetings and
working in conjunction with the
women voters leagues in other
counties.
The Platform.
The following are the bills the
league will insist that the candidates
for the State Senate and the House
of Delegates support:

Boley as chairman OF the Talbot
county league. When Mrs. Boley
resigned, following her nomination Tor
the House of Delegates on the Re-
publican ticket, she said she hoped
the members would elect Democrat
to succeed her, as 1t had been stated
that the league was purely re
publican organization simply from the
fact that several of its most active
members were of that political affilla-
ton. She stressed the point that the
league is non-partisan and must pre-
serve that complexion. In electing
Mrs. Jump, the league chose one or
the most active Of the Democratic
woman of the country.
Woman Governor Once.
The women of Maryland have prob
ably a more inspiring tradition to urge
them into political office than those
of any other State, Miss Lavinia En-.
gle, of Baltimore, State president OF
the League of Women voters, De
clared in a recent speech here. Miss
Engle gave an interesting talk on
citizenship and outlined the form OF
government Of Maryland and the
mart the women are expected TO take
in the affairs of State.
She reviewed the early history OF
MARYLAND, and stated that Maryland
was the only State in the Union that
aver had a woman as Its chier execu
tive. This was in the time OF Calvert
when Mistress Brent automatically be-
came governor Of Maryland by tins
death of an official as she was al
that time executrix Of the estates OF
Lord Baltimore and Calvert. When
her successor was named she asked
,he privilege to sit in the general
assembly but It was denied her. But
after so many years woman has again
come into her own, Miss Engle de-
clared. and some day one may occupy
