Women
Are Urged
Campaign
Mrs. McAllister
Speaker Before
Democratic Club

Mrs. Thomas r. McAllister.
director Of the Womens Division Of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, yesterday urged members Of the
Woman's National Democratic Club
to make the. 1910 campaign their
individual affair.
Mrs. McAIlister told the summer
study group Of the club that no
newspapers, powerful magazines"
or moneyed organizations were
backing the Democratic campaign.
She asserted that professional ad-
vertising men are with the Repub-
lican nominee, Wendell Willkie, and
that leadership of the Democratic
campaign must come from the
people.
Looks Forward
To Hottest Campaign"
"This is going to be the hottest
campaign In history" Mrs. Meal
lister predicted. She also said that
II America was to be able to COM
pete with totalitarian states women
must play their part.
Speaker Of the day was Mrs.
Arthur D. Condor, only woman
delegate from the District In the
1886 and 1910 conventions.
Mrs. Condor asserted that her
outstanding impression of the con-
vention had been "the great surging
within me of my pride in my own
SEX" She said that words could
not express her admiration of Mrs.
Roosevelt and of her speech, which
alone was capable of quieting the
noisy convention"
Mrs. Condor discussed at length
the credit given her for her part
in revising the foreign policy plank
Of the Democratic platform. She
had urged inclusion of the words
except in case of attack" into the
sentence regarding unwillingness to
send armed forces outside of the
Americas.
Il was much f1attered when sew
eral men told me I had saved the
situation for the President" Mrs.
Condor said. She mentioned the
success of the District delegation in
inserting the District suffrage plank
into the platform, from which it
originally had been omitted.
Third Term Issue
Declared G.. o. p. Ruse.
Mrs. May Thompson Evans, as
sistant director Of the women's divi-
sion, branded discussion of the third
term issue as Republican ruse."
The New Deal Is the issue, she in
sisted.
A discussion followed the speeches,
presided over by Mrs. Hale Shene-
field. Announcement was made
that Mrs. Roosevelt will be the guest
of honor and speaker at a banquet,
open only to members, on Septem-
Der rs.
| Maj. Lewis B. Hershey will discuss
the CONSUMPTION bill at the clubs
meeting next Wednesday.
Mrs. McAllister notified the club
members that after August IL the
headquarters of the women's divi-
sion will be moved from the National
Press Building to the Biltmore Hotel
in New York.
