Avoid Miller Attack.

Avoid Miller Attack.
Mrs. Arthur L. LVermore, associate
State chairman of the Republican COM
nittee carefully avoided mention of the
much discussed attack as did Miss
Helen Narick Boswell. associate county
chairman. But Mr.. Winslow referred to
such an organization of women as 'polit-
ical guerrillas" and Mr. Glynn agreed
with him. saying they had no flag and
fought between the lines
Henry II. Curran, Borough President,
who preceded Mr.. Gynn on the pro-
gramme. tried to pour oil on the troubled
waters by supporting those who are
seeking to have welfare bills passed
Mr. Currans kicking over the traces
after everybody had attacked welfare
legislation seemed to irritate Mr.. Glynn.
When the State chairman rose to speak
he burst into denunciation of all
workers outside the Republican organi-
zation.
IF the fashionable welfare women had
lived in Kentucky or Illinois some time
ago | think Nancy Hanks would have
been ashamed of them Mr.. Glynn said
"She would have wondered why they
bothered about her. And the Nancy
Hanks of to-day are wondering why
they bother about them.
IF a group of men got together and
said they were going to elevate the
teamsters or some other class of men
they would be laughed out OF court
The Republican party has made repu-
tation on its welfare legislation.
doubt II the women In the next ten years
can add anything TO that which the Re-
publican party has already accomplished
The Republican men have listened to
their wives and they have helped to have
put upon the statute books laws which
the women have recommended.
Sincerity Is Admitted.
81 don't deny these women (referring
to the supporters OF special legislation
for women) are in earnest. They have
no flag and they fight between the lines"
Turning to Mr.. Winslow. Mr.. Glynn
said: What you said was right about
their being guerrillas. Many OF these
women are actuated by front page
vanity.
"Thank goodness we have come back
into power with a man elected Governor
and a man elected President who be-
lieve in fixed stars. not meteors.
The Republican party has recognized
a women and the women Of this State have
been organized for some time. Our
party Is Interested in the plain people
and the plain people don't want the
benefcence that the welfare workers de-
sire to bestow upon them. What would
happen II we had generation raised by
the state. for that's what some of these
welfare bills amount TO in the minds OF
these misguided women?
"The Republican party is going 10 ap-
point women as non-commissioned Of
ficers. After while these women will
be promoted. Fortunately we have so
many women with some leisure in our
party that they have time to devote TO
politics.
"At present there are only generals
and privates among the men enrolled in
the party. That's been because through
civil service foolishness and other causes
the mon have lost their interest in poll
tics"
Arc Political Guerrillas.
Mr.. Winslow spoke of the political
guerillas. but added that he did not
mean 20 say that all groups not asso-
ciated with parties we're political
ruerrillas. But organizations without re-
sponsibilty to any one working along
political lines were irregular, he de-
olared
Il have no doubt there will be intro.
duced into tho Legislature several bills
OF the so-called social welfare class he
said But paternalism Is not the aim
OF the Government We should teach
self help rather than State help.
THE Republican party stands like a
rock against the cncroachment Of So
cialism, or call 1t Bolshevism. or Soviet
ism. or anything you like. You may fool
some OF the people by Disgusting It UNI
der the name OF social welfare legisla-
tion. but it's Socialism all the same. !
rejoice we have a Governor at Albany
who is not fooled Social problems arc
not TO be solved by crutches for tho
weak Teach them TO walk without
orutches."
Mr.. Wnslow declared he knew Of a
woman teacher who Is to-day teaching
the principles Of Sovictism In the schools
aud that SO far she has not been dis
covered. lie also SAID there was a man
IN one Of tho high schools teaching the
ramc principles "a man or woman vino
isn't loyal 10 the flag isn't nt TO teach
in our schools he said.
Samuel :. Koenig, county chairman,
advised the women 10 work within the
rarty. Miss Marguerite Smith OF the
Assembly. Louis W Stotesbury, Miss
Boswell and Mrs. Llvermorc were the
other speakers. Mrs. Wentz called on
thc Republican women TO enroll at once
