| VDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C. APRIL 28 1929—PART 3. Legislative Program Outlined for Woman Voters at Coun- cil Session—Natio: Hear Noted Journalists—Other BY CORINNE FRAZIER. UPPORT of three legislative meas- | ures in the Seventy-first Con- | gress was pledged and two reso- lutions were passed, one pro- viding for a study program of the reorganization of the Federal Government as suggested by President Hoover and the other concerning a delegation to be sent to the Intern tional Alliance for Woman Suffrage in Berlin this Summer, as the principal business of the four-day session of the general council of the league, | which closed FPriday at the Hotel | ‘Washington. | The three measures to be supported | v the league are a Federal program of maternity and infancy welfare, as embodied in the bill introduced last week by Senator Jones. of Washington | and Representative Cooper of Ohio, a | constitutional amendment to end “lame | duck” sessions of Congress, and the Pan-American. arbitration treaty. League branches will be urged to plan study programs designed to familiarize the woman voters with the details of | Mr. Hoover’s reorganization plans for Federal Government operation as the: are outlined by the Executive, in 2c- | cordance with the resolution passed by | the council in this connection. From | headquarters, also, will be made up in- | formative programs of study, so that | the woman voters all over the country | may keep abreast of the administration and may know what its aims are and | what When called upon their voting prerogative.

Mrs. George Hoxie, chafrman of the Missouri get- out-the-vote committee, received the | trophy. Her group was instrumental in getting to the polls 73.96 per cent of the registered vote in the 1928 elec- | tion, an exceptionally high average. | A brilliant group of political speakers | addressed the council at the only open | session, & dinner held Thursday eve- | ning on the Washington roof, their general subject being “The Future of | the Political Parties,” which was viewed | from different angles. Julian T. Mason, editor of the New York Evening Post, discussed the differences between the Republican and Democratic parties, prophesying that both, “like the poor, would “always be with us.” Raymond * Robins &nmwd out the | fundamental changes in the Republican | party which have come about with the election of Herbert —*‘marking the passing of the old political-social control and the arriving of economic control,” declaring that the future of the Republican party, under such lead- ership as marks this administration, is as large and as long as the develop- ment and maintenance of the Ameri- (‘L;l‘ meconomlvcl on W.

Rich- berg concluded the discussion of party futures by asserting that before we can have “futures” we must have par- ties, and, to his mind, there were no political parties today—but rather a “‘Democratic-Republican consolidation,” both wings of which “claim to stand for everything and, therefore, stand for nothing.” He predicted, eventually, the rise once more of two real political parties. “On the one hand a party founded on the principle that the purpose of govern- ment is to help men make money, wherefore, if those who make the most money are permitted to run the Govern- ment the country will be most prosper- ous. On the other hand a party founded on the principle that the test of fitness for soclal leadership is not the capac- ity to enrich one's self but the capaci- ty to enrich the lives of others.” Both | of these parties, he , need- | ed for the full and free development of | our national life. * % % M FARMER MURPHY, Washington | * correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,_will on “The lish_Elec- 2227 2T, | Yout Faxtwidll know the differcnce The velvety feeling of that famous hidden cushion will be a revelation.
