Deal a. Reason for Sup
porting Party

approximately 200 women, including
many from rural districts outside OF
Bismarck, attended the political tea
given Wednesday afternoon at the
World War Memorial building, spon-
sored by the Democratic women's or
ganization Of Burleigh county.
In attendance, also were many Re-
publican women who previously have
been affiliated with various factions
OF the Republican party. Many Of
these evinced IN interest in and q
willingness to work for Democratic
success at the November election.
Leading speakers at the meeting
were Mrs. June Tckel, an Iowa farm
woman, who Is vice chairman Of the
women's section OF the Democratic
National Committee, and John Moses,
Hazen, Democratic candidate for At
torncy general. Mrs. Fickel said her
Job In washington. Is to interpret the
needs and ideas Of the agricultural
west to the national administration.
Although she still contends that
farm prosperity Is essential to nation
al recovery, her experience also has
convinced her that it must be linked
up with industrial prosperity on the
ground that no chain Is stronger than
its weakest link, she said.
Mrs. Fickel urged her hearers to
carry the gospel Of the new deal to
every North Dakota voter, emphasiz-
ing the achievements and plans OF
the Democratic national administra-
ton and drawing on them for INSPIRE

rying the gospel to voters Of all classes
II the Democrats are to be successful,
and the value Of an organization In
doing this work. The campaign viii
not be won by speech-making, he said,
although the candidates will give
every effort to that work. The ef-
fective thing, he pointed out, will be
the man-to-man, the woman-to-wom-
an and the neighbor- to-neighbor con-
facts made by persons interested In
the cause.
