AUTOCA«T«a> CASKOB URGES WOMENTO VOTE Points Out Gov. Smith’s Welfare Record, His Legislation in * Behalf of Women. ALL HAVE RIGHT TO BALLOT (Th\n is the accord of a scries of campaign discussions by John J. Ras- kob, chairman of the Democratic Na tional Committee.) By JOHN J. RASKOB Never before has a campaign pre sented issues of such vital Importavce to the wives and mothers of the na tlon. The American home should be represented In full voting strength at the polls. The nation in normal times makes tremendous demands upon the Amer ican woman. In times of stress the country calls upon its womanhood to rick a surrender of future happiness. American womanhood can protect the home against unworthy officials by choosing worthy ones on election day. The woman’s viewpoint has become essential to the peaceful prosperity of the nation. This viewpoint can only be translated into national action by the exercise on the part of the women of their voting right. In the 1920 elec tlon only 37 per cent of the popular rote was registered by the women. More than half of the women of vot Ing age refrained from casting their ballots. A particular appeal la being directed by both parties to the women for their ▼otes. The Democrats are basing their appeal on the social welfare record of Governor Alfred E. Smith, the Presi dentlal nominee. His accomplish ments In behalf of women In Industry, In the fields and In the homes, the mothers and future mothers of our people, testify to his sincere regard for the home. The Republican campaign among the women consists largely of subtle, whispered suggestions concerning so clal and religious distinctions. Foreign-Born Women The foreign-boru woman married to an American citizen from whom Amer lea has the right to make all demands for services In time of peace and war, must not be deprived of her vote due to lack of information as to her rights The laws of the country affect her home to the same extent as any other There are over one million foreign born women who are entitled to vote It has been brought to my attention that election boards in some sections of the country are refusing to register such women on the ground that they are not citizens. It should be understood that any woman, who, prior to September 22, 1922, married a citizen Is a citizen of the United States by the very fact of her marriage. Further, any foreign born woman who became a citizen of the United Statee by marriage retains her citizenship though divorced or •eparatod from her husband, as long, as she resides in the United States. Election officials should be fully ac qualnted with the laws In relation to citizenship, and those who have barred foreign-born citizens from reg istering on that ground have commit ted a grievous wrong. The Democratic National Committee la prepared to answer all questions on this topic and attention will be given to each Individual case so that the toreign-born women will be fully in formed of their rights. I will welcome letters addressed to me personally by women who have been denied regie tration and I will see that such cases are completely answered by the law- jrera' committee of the Democratic National Committee. The voting right is one of the high- eet privllegee of citizenship, and no woman should have any sense of em barrassment about registering and vot ing. The vote came to our women After one of the greatest political cru- •ades In the history of the world. The ▼ote has a value to every woman. Properly cast, it means a better home protected by a better government It it at the same time a high civic duty and an important privilege. To vote la elevating, not degrading. Do not be ashamed or afraid to vote. Let ymr home express itself In Gie af- talrs of the nation. See that yon are on the Kgamration List so that yon will be sHglble to Day.

IT OtMocaai □ Republican Third Party Territory FA3M LEADERS C,;r of Indiana, and Reed cf flnnesota, Declare for Smith. RASKOB ADDRESSES FARMERS Democratic Chairman Stresses Need Vor Program Which Will Bring Farm Prosperity—Urges Tariff Equality. , Further evidence that sentiment for Rrvernor Smith is sweeping the Mid dle West Is contained in the announce ment that J. F. Reed, for seven years president of the Minnesota Farm Bu reau federation, and John Napier Dyer of Vincennes, Indiana, director In the American Farm Bureau federation will support the Democratic candidate for President. Both Reed and Dyer have been life long Republicans. Each has issued a statement setting forth that the Re publican party has turned a deaf ear to American agriculture and that the championship of the cause of the farm er by Governor Smith now compels true friendfe of agriculture to enlist in the Democratic forces. Meanwhile, John J. Raskob, Chair- mau of the Democratic National Com mittee, was asserting the urgent need for a national policy giving the farmer prosperity and tariff equality. fc “The greatest insurance for our fu ture prosperity,” said Mr. Raskob, “will depend on our ability to increase the purchasing power of the farmer. That can be done only through giving the farmer tariff protection, thus put ting him on an equality with industry and enabling him to pay the high wages for farm labor which he is compelled to pay in competition with industry.” Cycle of Prosperity Putting our farms on a profitable earning basis, Mr. Raskob pointed out, would give the farm population, •which constitutes 30 per cent of our total population, tremendously in creased purchasing power. Now pur chasing power means consumption and consumption requires production—pro duction requires labor antj labor em* ployed again means purchasing power and thus the cycle of prosperity is completed.” Feeling that the Farm Bureau fed- •ration should be non-partisar., ’Mr. Heed has resigned from his position &J president of the Minnesota bureau to adopt the course of supporting Cover* nor Smith to which he says he is com pelled by the present issue between the Republicans and Democrat!, “Both the platform and the candi date of the Republican party/’ says Mr. Reed, “withhold from agriculture any promise of an adequate remedy , for existing conditions, confining their agricultural pledge to vague general!-1 ties which in no way define nor suggest nor promise the remedy long sought by American agriculture—‘Control and or* • derly marketing of crop surpluses with' adequate provision for the distribution j of the costa upon the marketed unite' •f the crops bewefttad/ Honesty Compels endorsement “The p'atform of the Democratic party and the pronouncement of its candidate upon the question of agri cultural equality embraces so definite ly and clearly the principles held vital to any adequate farm relief plan by myself and the farmers of the state generally, that candor and honesty compels me to endorse the platform and the candidate of the Democratic party.” After reciting the failure of the Re publican party to keep its pledges to agriculture, and the repudiation of the farmer’s cause by Herbert Hoover, Mr. Dyer announces that he is quitting the Republican party, “disgusted with Its lack of honor in the repudiation of its solemn pledges to the American farm er, and I am aligning myself with the Democratic party, with faith in its leader.” Mr. Dyer, operator of a thousand- acre farm in Knox county, Indiana, also states that he is a dry and a Protestant. He is president of the Knox County Horticultural associa tion, and is one of the leading fruit growers of the country.
