Women In Politics Making For Better Race

By Governor HIRAM JOHNSON of California

WOMEN are responsible fop the new philosophy of government. This new philosophy is worldwide—-belongs to no party, no sect, no sex. This new phi-

losophy believes that the GOVERNMENT’S PURPOSE IS TO MA K E PEOPLE IIAPPI E 11, TO MAKE THEM BETTER. The only successful government is the one that succeeds in doing this.

THE ATTAINMENT OF THE BALLOT BY THE WOMEN OF CALIFORNIA HAS ADDED NOT ONLY A GREAT MORAL RESERVOIR OF RESOURCE, BUT THERE HAS ALSO COME A PROGRESSIVE FORCE, UNHAMPERED BY THE TRADITIONS OF PARTY THAT SOMETIMES MAKE MEN SLOW TO MOVE ON TO NEW THINGS. IF WE CAN BRING MEN UP TO THIS STANDARD, THEN PARTISANSHIP WILL DISAPPEAR IN THE CONSIDERATION OF BETTER THINGS FOR HUMANITY.
