DEMOCRATIC WOMEN URGED
TO ORGANIZE
June 10th Set as Democratic Women's
Club Day.

The Democratic National Commit
tee has given to Missouri, for a shol
time, the services of National OF
ganzer, Mrs. Thornton Lee Brown
to help in the organization OF Coun
ty-wide and City-wide Women's Dem
ocratic Clubs.
1t is vitality important that a elul
should be organized in every count,
and i'll every town OF $500 or more, II
order that every Democratic woman
may know the principles of the Dem
ccratic party; that every Independent
woman may know why she should be
a Democrat; that women should be
givcr instruction in citizenship; that
forums may DC held, where the can
didates may lie given hearing; to see
to it that every Democratic woman
votes at the primary, as well as at the
election; and 10 eject the Democratic
candidates and to bring Missouri back
iiitO tliN DNIllcAitttIN So4NliIii, VIM
she belongs.
In order TO- accomplish these OBJ
jcctivcs as soon as possible, June 10th
has been decided upon as Democrats
Women Club Day.
An organization plan has been made
by Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, and
every city and county i'll Missouri
which has not a club OF this kind, IS
Urged 10 form one on or before that
date. Clubs already organized are
asked to hold u meeting on or before
that day, to study this plan, and to
adopt it if it meets their needs, i'll or
der. that the organizations may be TIM
form. If this were done, it would be
easier for the National Committee to
give help to the local and state or
garjzation.
There should be but one club i'll aech
county where there are no towns with
I population Of $500 or more, a sep
lratc club should be formed in every
own OF that size or greater popula
ion, Every voting district should
layc a subdivision OF the club, il
