GETTING THE WOMEN
INTERESTED

Republican women leaders in the
city have not been lacking in
energy. Democratic women leaders
have also been showing plenty of
it. 1t may be that the G. .. p. has
more money to devote to organiza-
ton work-which would be as
usual-but if the grapevine rumors
are correct, the Democrats this year
Will also have a neat pile to wage
war IN Connecticut. Those close to
Mr.. spellacy claim it, anyway.
But visual evidence goes a long
a long way, and Republican women
have started a club on West Main
street. The big sign on the building is
one that easily arrests the attention
of wayfarers. Closer scrutiny shows
an elephant on every blind. And
there will be bridge parties. teas and
what not-quite social way to do
campaign work.
Before women had the right to
vote there We're no such delightful
rendezvous. The political club OF the
old days consisted of few rooms.
sometimes only one, where cigar
smoke filled the air and cuspidors
Uttered the floor On important
days there We're drinks, and men
We're SO emphatic in some of their
remarks that cussWords rent the air.
The improvement, 1928 model. is
noticeable. With the women going
in for such style it has been neces-
sary for the mems clubs to perk UP
and polish up also. The day may not
be far distant when a political club
will be the most comfortable thing in
town. And the cheapest, considering
that everything is free so long as
the voters call, make themselves at
home, and promise to vote straight
and right.
Women glorify and embellish
everything they touch, including
politics.

visiting her aunt, in the country,
who has boy seven years old.
One day, while they were having

The little fellow, all excited, ask

mother. "All l heard was that there

My little girl, who was listening
