Carrie Chapman Gait, for 10 years 4
suffrage campaigner Is featured
speaker, the National League Of
Women voters today celebrated the
tenth anniversary Of votes for women.
Silvery-haired, 70-year-old Mrs.
Gait consigned the "innumerable
odds and ends Of claims to equal
rights" to the younger generation Of
women voters. Speaking from New
York, over the National Broadcasting
company chain, she said that "there
are social problems enough boiling
and seething around every woman Of
us to keep an army Of keen thinkers
and doors busy tor = generation or SO
in order to clear them all away"
She told Of how the pioneer Suf-
fragists. marching upward on the
last lap Of their century old CAM
paign, spied old age coming down to
meet them" But they did not sor-
row, she said, for glaucing back they
saw q younger ermy to whom they
said come, take hold, and finish"
Urges Drive on Hatred
AS unfinished problems she cited
the wages, hours, working conditions.
and>trade union status Of the woman
in industry. She asked for a contin-
ued campaign against the spirit Of
hatred which, she said, was likely to
fly about in state legislatures, and In
national and international confer
enceS.
Mrs. Gait introduced Miss Belle
Sherwin, the president Of the league,
who, speaking from washington,
mentioned Z compulsory jury statute
on the west coast and . better budget
in New York City - illustrations OF
what women voters are accomplish
ing today. .
Admitting that performance In 10
years has not matched line for line,
color for color the expectations Tor
1920" she nevertheless insisted the
wisdom of the suffrage pioneers had
been definitely justified.
Prophcsies Fail
Miss Katherine Ludington, OF
Lyme, Conn, another speaker,
touched most strongly on the then
and now" theme. .
I'VE have, rather conspicuously, not
fulfilled some Of the prophesies." she
said. "Our votes have not disrupted
the home, destroyed the church or
undermined the pillars OF the state.
On the other hand, our votes have
not markedly purified politics-yet;
nor made human welfare the main
concern Of the government. nor
brought universal peace"
She added, however:
Justify Founder Faith
If we hold to our self Imposed role
of attending to the heretofore ne
elected aspects Of government, II we
supply q quiet and continuous intltt-
ration Of certain qualities. into the
electorate, we may rightfully claim to
have justified the faith Of the found
crs and to be fitting trustee for the
honor roll Of their names"
