FROM THE wonENs LEAGUE

Editor of The Putnam Patriot
 Dear Sir-Thank you 90 much for your fair and unb.ased editorial in last weeks Patriot. Yol are quite right. the League of Women Voters urges ifs members to aily themselves Rith one or the other political party. Our aim is Co educate both DemocFa 20 ic and Republican women that they may vote intelligently.
 We have women registered in both parties, why should we deny any one of them proper training In her clvie and stats duties because she supports the Republican or Democratic ticket?
 Positively the League of Women Voters is Hon-partissu. wr never tel or suggest which partf tBeg should support, .or we are teaching her to think for herself. and not be led by a machine.
 l would like to tell your local poll tician" what he probably already knows, that the League of Women Voters never has advocated a separ- ate women'a party. I'm trouble with him Is that he wants u registering in his party so he will be iroHger, his particular party's methods strength ened.
 lf we decide when se haHe heard both sides that his is tHe best, he will have our support. if the other is more desirable to us, We axe theirs. In other words, we are gong to do our own thinking. Is that aot commend ahle2
 Yours truly,
 EDITH N ARNOLD.
