G. 0. P. WOMEN BEGIN
CAMPAIGN IN STATE
Say Success in Distributing
Patronage Is No Qualifica-

AIM THIS AT A SENATOR
High Intelligence and High
Principles Are Needed,
Statement Declares.

Party regularity and success in dis
tributing patronage are not adequate
qualifications for candidates for United
States Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatives, In the opinion of the board
o: governors of the Women's National
Republican Club. The women began
yesterday their political activities in
connection with the State campaign with
this statement They mention no names.
but unofficially it was stated by MEM
bers of the board that the reference to
a patronage distributor might include a
certain Senator from New York The
statement follows:
The board of governors of the Wom-
er's National Republican Club desires to
record and publicly to express it's sense
OF the great Importance of the right
choice of Republican nominees for cleo
tion to the United States Senate and
House of Representatives throughout the
country November next.
I'VE call upon Republicans throughout
the country to see to it that the party
nominees for both houses of Congress be
OF the highest standard in respect to
character, intelligence and capacity for
faithful public service.
I'VE believe that mere opportunistic
party regularity or success in dispensing
political patronage are not adequate
qualifications at this critical time in the
history of the country. 1t will not be
sufficient to elect or to reelect men who,
however excellent in other posts, fail
short of the standards Of capacity and
high principle that may properly be de-
manded of a United States Senator or
Congressman.
that the Republican party must be repre-
serted in the Senate and in the House
by men of high character and intelli.
gence. who are faithful to the funda-
mental principles Of the Constitution and
the tenets of the Republican party; who
will give their loyal support and coopera-
ton to the chosen leaders of that party"
