Mrs. Hert said. had just been ap-
pointed as national leader for the
colored women for this campaign.
THE women of Ohio" Mrs. Bat
telle said, have an important task
ahead of them. The ma jority of our
women feel that it is all-important
that we elect Coolidge and Dawes
and a strong Republican ticket this
Fall. We all know the Presidents
record on legislation affecting women
and children and it is a record which
cannot fail to commend him to the
mothers of the Nation"
Western Women Active.
Mrs. Collins said that the women
of the West have always taken an
active interest in politics and in pub
lie questions. This year their inter-
est is intensified, she said "Speaking
for Utah.. she said. there is no doubt
whatever that this State will be in
the Coolidge-Dawes column. Not only
will Utah be for Coolidge, but our
women have awakened to the fact
that President is handicapped un-
less he has a Congress that supports
him. Therefore, we are determined
to give him men in the House and
in the Senate who will work for his
principles and his program"
Mrs. LIE Van said the women voters
know the Presidents record in legis-
lation. particularly affecting women
in industry, and the welfare of chill
dren is one of the aspects of his pub
lie activity which the women are not
losing sight of in this campaign. 1T
was largely through President Cool
idge's efforts while Governor of Mas
sachusetts that that State took fore
most place in enacting legislation af-
fecting public welfare: we believe in
him." she said.
Mrs. Ashbrook said: Il think Della
ware is absolutely safe for Coolidge
In the primary, held on August 2,
more women than men registered
Eighty per cent of these women are
Republicans, and their anxiety to
register may be taken rs a reflection
OF the interest that the women of
Delaware are taking in President
Coolidge"
