FROM PROGRAM
Mrs. ingalls, Says League Is to
Educate in Governmental
Affairs.

| Affairs.
The League of Women Voters is
not an attempt to form women's
| political party and the organization
does not intend to try to dominate
any party politics, according to Mrs.
Emma A. Ingalls, Of Kalispen, state
representative of the League Of Wo-
men Voters, who addressed members
of various women's organizations In
the junior high school Tuesday night.
| The organization was formed prim-
arily to encourage the women Of Amer
government of the country in which
| they live and to exercise their fran
chise as American citizens in directing
the policy of the government, Mrs.
Ingalls, said.
/ 'Women are expected to move
around their homes without breaking
up the furniture. I say they should
learn to move around in politics with
out getting caught in the machinery"
she said.
THE political machinery is not per-
feet. 1t is the duty of every woman
to find out what is wrong with it and
then give her aid in adjusting the ma
chinery so that it is nearer perfect.
I
tirely perfect the political machinery
of this country"
Help Shape Policy
Mrs. ingalls, urged that the women
take advantage of their opportunity to
have voice in the shaping of the
nations policy. Many neglect to regis
the women go to the polls at election
time and vote after they have regis
tered she said.
"Stay by your primaris. Vote in
your city elections and keep your
selves posted so that you can vote
sintelligently. 1t is true that woman
place is at home. But politics lends
right straight into the home and wo-
men as home keepers should take their
part in politics"
