Davis Is Predicted by Head of Non- Partisan League Body. “The women of this country.are going to declde the result of the com- ing election, and they will approve the policies of the Democratio party,” said Charles A. Douglas, president of the Non-Partisan League of Nations Association, in_an eddress before the McDonald - Washington - Blackburn Democratic Club, at 2315 Massachusetts avenue. His subject was “Women in Politics.” The career of John W. Davis as a college and professional man was presented by Elwood H. Seal, head of the local branch of the Washing- ton and Lee University Alumni Davis Club. N Mr. Douglas charged that there was systematic propaganda seeking to convince independent voters that Davis was third in the race, but he denied this was true. He expressed confi- dence in the approval of Davis' stand in support of the principles of Wood row Wilson, and said that an im- portant factor was the loyalty and devotion of woman voters to con- victions. while they had been and would be supporters of clean gov- ernment. “Above all,” he said, “their divine mission everywhere in the world is to decree that war shall be no_more.” The musical program _included songs by Margaret ‘Ashbridge Rab- bitt. accompanied by Miss Dorothy Birch, ard violin “solos by Fritz Hauer. ““Texas night” will be observed this evening.
