The new radio boot has just been
turned out from fashions labora-
tories. This novel bit of footwear,
exhibited at the Nation Shoe Ex-
hibition of Chicago, has a number
of virtues to recommend it.
First, it will make the fapper
1apless, because it has no buckles to
swish about after the fashion of the
well remembered golosh.
Then. too, it is very chic, being a
hybrid cross between an old-fash-
joined rubber and a pair of trout
fishing leggings, with a layer OF
no united action by women in the
coming elections is discernible, as
election day draws near. Instead,
even women leaders are urging
women voters to align themselves
definitely with parties.
How Republicans and Democrats
are appealing to the feminine voters
for their help November 7 is shown
in the following statements written
for NEA Service by the leaders of
the women's wing of each of the
two old parties:

How will the Democratic party
get the women out to the polls?
First of all by offering the women
an opportunity to rebuke the pres
ent congress for its high tariff with
a vote for congressman who will
oppose the present iniquitous rates
on everything that women buy for
themselves and their families.
Women are the buyers of the
fa ni1y on1 thew nonnnt DC h1uarS
face the tremendous increase in the
cost of what they buy without
alarm.
They will flock to the polls to ex-
press this alarm in a vote against a
Republican congress which has
voted for an increase in everything
they buy.
In the congressional debates Re-
publican senators commended that
this tariff would increase the cost of
articles "only a few cents" But
women know that a few cents on
every article adds into a big sum on
the whole.
Object is Tariff
They will not agree with the Re
publican paper which said that the
new tariff on wool would "only" in
crease overcoats $3.50. To the ma
| jority of voters in this country an
increase of $3.50 on the price of
o~vercoats never can be qualified by
only"
We have attempted to bring this
situation home to women through
publicity. But we have also found
many other ways to carry news of
read newspapers nor attend meet
inCg Tn Inma raGn thew have
made house-to-house canvasses. In
others they have arranged porch
meetings. Sometimes they have
employed the chain-letter system;
| sometimes the button method.
Democratic women will spend
election day at their telephones, re-
minding women who are forgetful.
But for most part the Democratic
| party must content itself with pre-
senting to the women of the country
the opportunity that is theirs, trust
ing that the good n and self
interest of the American housewife
will lead her to the polls.
Once there, she will register a
vote to cut down the cost Of her
children's food and clothing.

The whole trend In politics today
is for men and women to work to-
gether, to attend the same meetings,
to hear both men and women
speakers, to work on the same COM
mittees, to have offices in the same
headquarters.
During the last several weeks I
have personally met women voters
in five different states-Ohio. Indi-
ana. Missouri, Maryland and Mass
