Women Seriously Studying Problems Good Government National League of Women Voters Preaching and Teaching Democracy irt Practical Terms That Tend to Edu cate to Intelligent U?e of Ballot ^ Rj DAV1I> UWREXCB (C*?yrt?ht 1924. Dy Th? Atfianct) Buffalo, N. Y., April 29.?The strongest convention of the year of 1924 is being held here. Alongside of it the Republican National Convention at Cleveland and the Democratic Convention at New York would afford a remarkable contrast. For here are gathered * dele-, : gates who are interested in' principles and not parties. l*i the two major conventions will be assembled delegates interest ed in men and political parties. There's no partisanship in the Na tional League of Women Voters. Norj| is there any attempt to pass judg ment on existing controversies in Congress. But the background of these controversies, the principles which are fundamental ih them, aro being studied here. And the whole! convention m^y be described as a university extension course. It is by far the most intelligent efTort that has yet been made in America to preach Democracy in practical terms and educate the voter to the use of the ballot. The object of the League of Wo men Voters this year i3 to urge 75 per cent of the eligible women voters of the nation to no to the polls. The J league itself will not tell them how to vote, what party or candidates to endorse. But any one who attends the meetings of the various state ami city leagues or reads the bulletins, and publications issued by them.ha*1 been educated sufficiently to render[ an individual judgment. The league's sole aim is good gov ernment?intelligent and efficient administration. What soirrr men's organization has taken generations to accomplish in the way of advanc ing certain progressive movement.*, the League of Women Voters has in four years achieved. Reports from the state and county organizations show that the natural iDQQlBitireQeu of women has resulted in regular in terrogatories to candidates so that the voter can determine what those who seek public office really stand for. The searchlight of scrutiny has been turned on individual records. The awakening of the women of the , nation to their power in the use of the ballots is proceeding with markable success. Each year show.* , an Increased number of active work ers in local communities. ^ The national convention, which has been In session for several days has gone along harmoniously he cause in no instance has it invaded : the domain of political parties. The league, however, has not confined it self entirely to abstract principles for It has gone on record Unequivo cally In favor of the entry of the United States in the permanent court of the league of justice, according to the Harding-Hughes proposals which recently received the endorsement oT President Coolidge. Resolutions also have been formu lated in support of such action as would permit the. United States Gov ernment to seqd representatives "to act on international economic com mittees and international conferenc es." Also the league favors meas ures of disarmament by international agreement, particularly with refer-j ence to "naval, military, aviation, gas and chemical warfare." Not the least Important of the rec-; onnnendatlons incidentally is one that has only recently been agitated, but which Is of paramount impor tance in an era of open diplomacy; namely, "measures to secure prompt publication of State Department re-j ports." Apart from the foregoing recom mendations for legislation, the League of Women Voters has re served for study the problem of rep arations, the Monroe Doctrine, and Europe generally. Among the topics is one rating to a Constitutional amendment whereby treaties may be ratified by majority Instead of two thirds vote. After numerous round table discussions, reports will be made on these questions. Apart form . current events, the i whole organization here has begun ; an iuntensive work of education in i governmental affairs, citizenship, so-1 clal hygiene, child welfare and eff!-1 clenCy in government with concrete recommendations for legislation in ! each. Indeed, attending the conven-. tlon here, where there is absence of ! personal and party ambilton, Is a breath of fresh air in a season of 1 congressional smoke. For?
