n politics. She spoke of the many
.hings accomplished by women, in
Guiding the right to vote, social re-
'orms, by help Of legislature, child
abor laws, prison reforms, pure
.ood and drug act, and many more.
Mrs. Herlihy said women wanted
o help to get good government.
Needed to be we'll informed to vote
ntelligently, to select candidates,
o work for their party to get leg
slative action on measures they
'elieve in. To accomplish these
hings, women need more political
kill, that women want a part in
,ood government, not control of
government. We must learn and
arm, improve what we have and
now. Women now have time for
ctivlty outside the home as in
revolution has changed our
ives. The work we used to do to
lake a home is now done by ma
hines, therefore we have time for
olitics and various other activities.
