to the women of the Roland Park Club

"Any group of people who form
themselvePs into new party consti-
tutes a grave danger to the political
welfare of this country. 1t is righs
that there are two parties, two big
outstanding parties in this country,
for one should never hold the balance
of power. For the development of
this country we need both the repub
lican and the democratic parties, but
we do not need, nor do we want, a
womaH's party as opposed to the men.
$50 l say join the party in which
you believe and then start in on the
lowest rung of the ladder. Learn
about government in the precinct. |
well remember what Roosevelt replied
to some person who criticized him for
attending ward meetings over livery
stables and saloons. IF | don't learn
how they govern so that | may gov
ern them, they will govern me, and
thus they will be my peers SO he
began in the precinct l tell you to
do the same. Live the finest sort of
life in your own neighborhood and
try to make it possible for every one
else to do likewise.
