The national prominence of the two leading candi- dates. together with their well known records of accomplishment. is given by one prominent clubwoman as the reason for this. “The L - presidential campaizn stands out one of unusual oppor- funities,” says Miss Belle Sherwin, president of the National League of Woman Voters, “and the country. the political parties and millions of voters are to be congratulated.” Sees Interest Aroused. “They have named presidential mandidates so distinguished in charac ter. ability and record of accomplish- % ment as to arouse the dormant interest of voters and to afford a substantial basis on which to make a choice.
