WOMEN VOTERS THINKING What distinguishes the League of Women Voters, which met in Chicago recently and formulated a platform, is that it is iess busied with politics than with constructive suggestions to improve tbe conditions of living. The women are not concerned with getting themselves elected to office. They are apparently, not much con cerned with who is elected to any office, if they can obtain popular sup port for thefr program to reduce the cost of living and improve working conditions of women In industry. How long they may be able to main tain this aloofness and preserve their lanji? from party dhccrd is proble matic, hut for the motnept it prom ises to servo Ciclr purpose well. New movements have usually sought success by formulation of new political parties to emblazon thftlr platforms. Usually, also, such movements have failed. With one or 1 two notable exceptions, the great change* in American life have been accomplished - through the existing great political parties. Women are 'profiting by this experience. Their own cause triumphed when RepubX cans and Democrats entered eager competition to espouse it. They now hope to stimulate similar sompetl- $fro*v P'ltiaiiy pufUs l 'e to them. The League of Women Voters is thinking. Consequently it has a message. It is probable that the or ganization -vill go farther In its pro posals tha i most citizens will care to follow, but in presenting their plat form free of partisan prejudices women are certain of receiving for it respectful and unbiased considers fion. 9 TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES 4 444444444444444 1820—The first American missionar ies landed In Hawaii. 1828—Charles Foster, governor of, 444444444#444444 9 TODAYS BIRTHDAYS 4 9444444444444444 ^Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wey- mss. former First Sea Lord of the British Admiralty, born r,fi years ago today. 1 Co!. ‘Luke T.ea, former United Stat es senator from Tennessee, born at Nashville, 41 years ago today.- Rt.
