WANT THE LADIES AT LOVE FEAST

WOMEN'S DISTRICT REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN URGES THAT MANY ATTEND. ' _ * ' ' ~ f \ •/ The women of 'the land are in politics. ■Henceforth there will be no conventions, in all probability in which men only participate. Beyofcd much doubt the equal suffrage amendment will be ratified before 1920, giving to the women of the land the right to vote in all elections. Anticipating this th ewomen of Indiana are 'organizing for two particular liaisons. First, to learn the issues and to form their opinions, and second to create an effective organization to have their convictions adopted. Mrs. J. V. Patterson, of Gary, the head of the women’s republican or-

ganization in the Tenth congressional district, has written to Mrs. Inez Nichols, the chairman of the Jasper county women’s organization, asking that the women of this county be urged to attend the love feast at Crown Point Saturday of this week. Owing to the fact that Mrs. Nichols is busy as deputy clerk and that court is in session she finds it impossible to attend, but she has arranged with another woman to represent her at the meeting and it is planned to proceed very soon with the Jasper county organization and to call representative women from the different parts of Jasper county together to that end. - Women should With as little delay as possible prepare to take their full measure of responsibility and privilege in this new sphere. That they will do this in Jasper county as well as any place is quite certain and they have organized very thoroughly in some places in .Indiana. Carroll county is the first to report a complete organization of its republican women. Jasper county should pot, delay. The field for great good is open to them and to make the most of it will require both organization and conscientious application. Women should attend political gatherings and it is urged that they attend this meeting at Crown Point Saturday. It will be a nice automobile drive. Plans are to have the republican national chairman, Will H. Hays, and the women’s national chairman also address the meeting. There will also be others of prominence, including Senators New and Watson, Congressman Wood, and several candidates for governor. Women, insist on going to these affairs with your husbands. Husbands, take your wives and jour daughters. Stag affairs in politics are things of the past. The era of equal suffrage is at hand. The women should make the very most of it. Start by attending the love feast at Crown Point Saturday.
