CLUB OF JUNIOR
c. O.P. ORGANIZED
League of Republican Wom-
en- Hear Talk by Miss
Dolly Madison.

The newly organized Junior Club OF
the League Of Republican Women held
its first meeting yesterday and heard
an address by Miss Dolly Madison,
lineal descendant of the famous White
House mistress. Miss Madison is ma
tional vice chairman Of the Young
Republicans and chairman of the or
ganization in New Jersey.
The Junior Club is composed OF 45
young women whose purpose is to
conduct Republican educational ac-
tivities and also support the Govern
ment in any way which may present
itself. The club also will function as
q study group.
Miss Mary Virginia Harrison Will
liams, great-granddaughter of PreSi-
dent Harrison. is the recording secre-
tary; Miss Mildred English, daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. Merton English,
corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Ed
ward e. Colladay, daughter-in-law Of
Edward F. Colladay, national commit
teeman for the District, treasurer.
The chairman of the group has not
yet been chosen.
Youth Needs Awakening.
Miss Madison told the group that
youth had greater opportunities and
duties than ever before and that it
needs an awakening as to the mean
ing of its stewardship. She said the
potential power of each individual Is
q natural asset if rightly directed. A
three-fold program, which she urged
the club to follow, was presented by
the speaker. She advised the cluo
members to interest young people
around 18 or 10 years old in the af-
fairs of Government SO that when
they reach the voting age they can
cast their ballots intelligently; to visit
the Legislatures and study various
bills presented. and to visit and take
an interest in institutions for boys
and girls so they can speak intel
lieently about them rather than from
hearsay.
The work being done in the States
by young men and women was de-
scribed by Miss Madison, who said
that Washington is the first city IN
the East to organize the young Re
publican women in club all their
own.
A letter of appreciation and en-
couragement from Henry P. Fletcher,
chairman of the National Republican
Committee. was read. He stated:
"I am deeply interested in the re-
port brought to my office that you are
today organizing a new group OF
young women for the purpose OF study
of the fundamental principles OF our
National Constitution and OF our re-
publican form of government.
This is an age of youth. To young
women. the future mothers of our men
citizens. we must look for inspiration
and constructive leadership IN the
homes of our land, so that the basic
principles of unselflsh, loyal patriotism
shall not perish at a moment When
radical inroads are being made against
the magnificent structure reared by
our American ancestors.
"I bid you Godspeed and trust your
action in forming this young woman's
club will be an incentive for the form
ing Of similar clubs throughout the
land"

served, with Mrs Virginia White Speel
