off by planning for her annual con-
Ventlon in November. A splendid
program is being arranged which you
shall hear more about later. Mrs.
Cowles of Virginia is back at state
headquarters after a two months va
cation and is making plans for the
raising of the yearly budget, she
writes: There are many of US who
feel that the one safe and sane plan
to raise money is by a drive for a
large membership in addition to con-
tributions from people of means who
are sufficiently interested in good
government to assist the work of the
League" This is a valuable sugges-
ton, why not start our fall activities
by replemishing our treasurers and
increasing our membership We
have just passed through time when
we have had an opportunity to shaw
to great advantage the strength and
power of the League and now is the
time to strike. While the iron is hot.
Mrs, Kenny of Tennessee writes that
her state expects to raise all her
funds for state work by having Ma

Mrs. Park on Voting.
"The man or the woman who falls
tn vote this autumn ought to have a
white feather pinned on" says Mrs.
Maud Wood Park, President Of the
National League of Women Voters
"Such a man, such woman is
Stacker. In time Of war there are
several ways of betraying the coun-
try; in time of peace there is only
s,ne-failure to cast CONSCIENTIOUS
vote. Men and women who will not
vote are doing all they can to destroy
democracy for no country in which
elections are decided by the votes OF
the minority, no country with a great
BODY Of voters too lazy Of mind to
take part in elections, is anything
but a despotism, the rule Of the in
different many, by the selfish few.
"The working out of real DEM
ocracy has only two problems-how
to get men and women to vote in ev-
ery election and how to get them to
look at public questions from the
viewpoint Of the good Of the whole
people. Our League works all the
wear round to make voters take the
National not the Gopher Prairie View
point, and for the next two months
its members must make a special ef-
fort to help create the voting habit,
the habit Of fighting in the peace
time army. Every woman must DO
her utmost to assure that no woman
in her community shall neglect to
vote either out of ignorance Of the
processes of voting or Of the import
ance of voting. 1t is not the busi-
ness Of the League to tell woman for
whom to vote but how to vote and
why to vote and when to vote. This
year think it will not be amiss for
the League to add as its business can
did expressions Of opinion as to
slackers. The men and women who
fail to vote are nothing else, thar
slackers and l am not at all sure tht
Stacker isn't too mild and polite
word to apply to them
Georgia to Have Two Women
in Legislature.
Georgia will have two women il
the next legislature, Mrs. Viola Ma

women among their law makers con

Electime Time.
Election time is over in Mississir

papers in the three states are sayin
that the Woman's influence was di'
tinctly felt during the campaign ar
most certainly at he polls. The ne

women have participated in the Dem
cratic primaries, have been successf
in injecting the idea into politics tn

There were some women in the ra
