BY CORINNE FRAZIER. S an outgrowth of the first con- ference of Republican national committeewomen, State vice chairmen and club presidents, held in Washington last week, calls have gone out urging meetings of State groups for the purpose of forming closer alliances and in some cases of organizing formal State fed erations similar to the ones already formed in California, Maryland and Michigan. Massachusetts is one of the States in which the Republican women are seriously considering a federation. Pennsylvania already has a council of 26,000 members, and is one of the 15 tes boasting Republican women'’s magazines. New York recently con- tributed the latest woman’s State publication, the Guidon. According to Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vice chairman of the Republican na- tional committee, who presided over the recent conference, the 75 women who gathered here representing 34 States came with open minds to learn the principles of party organization and to gain inspiration from their na- tional party leaders, and they left Washington with a clearer vision and understanding of the need of perma- nent co-operation among the local and State groups. “The Washington seesion proved to be the impetus needed to release the cork unbottling their enthusiasm, which already has begun to flow through the States to which they have returned,” said Mrs. Hert. “This is evidenced by the promptness with which so many of them are calling together their club groups in order that they may impart the valuable things learned by them during their three days at headquarters.” Harmoniuos co-operation with the men of their party, with emphasis placed upon the need for permanent party organization was the keynote of the conference. Mrs. Hert, in her n;»enin: address, stressed this when she said: “Nothing can stop women's progress in politics if they affiliate themselves with permanent party organi devote themselves to the principles of their party and work harmeniously with one ‘another and with the men of their Permanent local and nization of both men and women of the Republican party is es- sential to party harmony, to party de- velopment and to party success in maintaining the principles of Repub- licanism in government.” * kok X FFPORTS of the National Woman's Party to obtain suffrage for the women of the Philippines were re- rded last week by the introduction of a bill in the House by Representa- tive Charles Underhill of Massachu- setts providing for equal voting privi- leges for men and women in the Philippines. Mr. Underhill, it is said, formerly was a stanch anti-suffragist, but fol- lowing a recent visit to the Philip- pines, declared himself in favor of giving the women of the islands the anchise. He proved the complete- ness of his conversion by introducing | the bill providing for it on Thursday January 13. The Woman's party has been work- | ing for the passage of a suffrage measure in the Philippine Legislature as well as on Capitol Hill. Should | such a measure be passed by the na- tive law makers it would have to be approved by Gov. Gen. Wood, who has pronounced himself in favor of it, according to officials at the Woman’'s party headquarters. In 1920 Commissioner Pedro Guevara of the Philippines advocated a wom- an’s suffrage bill which has since passed the lower House of his Legis- lature and which he predicts will pass the Senate this Summer. Commissioner Guevara and his wife are expected to be the guests of honor at a tea given by the Woman’s party at their quarters on Capitol Hill Sun- day, February 13. Mrs. Guevara is the president of one of the prominent woman’s organizations of the islands. In Porto Rico an organization “of women said to number 10,000, which is affiliated with the National Wom- upon a_ newspaper will be eligible to enter the contest > 4. The stories must reach the press and publicity department at headquar- ters not later than May 10, 1927 Names of the judges will be an nounced later. It is earnestly hoped that each State press chairman and each State officer will give as much publicity as ssible to the contest in her State. very one will get very good practice in publicity work while | endeavoring to enrich” her club’s ndergrift, one of the most enthusiastic clubwomen in Washing- ton, is at present chairman of library extension in the District Federation, as well as a member of the Arts Club, the League of American Pen Women, the Daughters of the American Revo- lution, the Daughters of 1812, and other ‘organizations of prominence. he always has been identified with constructive work in the federation and is looking forward with pleasure to the success of the news-writing contest.
