NEW YORK PREPARES T0 WELGOME WOMEN : Feminine Sex Expected to Be‘ Factor at Democratic Convention' New York, May 9.—Women, who will be more numerous ;and more powerful at this year's national lemocratic convention than in an previous conclave of the party, have ! set out to show their male confreres | few things about convention con- oty The authority for this statement is Miss Elizabeth Marbury, committee- woman from New York state, member of the democratic national executive | committee ,and recognized leader of | her sex in councils of the party. mong other things, Miss Marbury says “men have had political conven- tions all their own way for so long they've fallen into a rut;” women in politics ¢have been taught to takg the responsibility more seriously than | men;"” feminine delegates to the | Madison Square Garden proceedings | “are going to get something more out of the experience than the novelty of voting for a presidential nominee;" and they “are going to be shown that New York is something besides a glorious jazz band of bustle and show-off." It is only 56 years since, at the la national convention held in this city- 1868—Suzan B. Anthony had the temerity to appear before the frock- coated, silk-hatted delegates there sembled, to demand that a “votes- women” plank be spiked to the demo- cratic party platferm. This year women have equal repre- | sentation with men on the national Jdemocratic committee, and purty\ leaders, including the men, predict that fully a third of the delegates to the Madison Square Garden doings | will be women, One of the first actions of the sub- committee on convention arrange- ments, when it chose New York f the 1924 session, was to entrust Miss | \farbury with the responsibility of “contributing to the comfort, con- venience and entertainment of the women delegates, and of installing a spirlt of harmony betw: them and the men representatives.” Miss Marbury named a committee of nine to aid her, established a women's convention bureau at the Waldorf- Astoria headquarters for the party, and set about personally to carry out instructions. “Many women who will come here, as delegates or convention visitors, will be seeing New York for the first time,” Miss Marbury sald. “As a rative New Yorker, I belleve there's more to this metropolis than its jazz tand features, “A great many women will come here who in their home towns, ‘out in the sticks’ as they say it, are seriously active in municipal affairs, welfare work, prison reforms, health betterment,’ public school administra- tion, playgrounds, and even transit improvements. We proposs to give those women some ideas to take home with them, “We will take them to wmes our prisons, our settlement clubs, our mothers' and children's clinics. They may get some ideas that will be sof use when they return home. "“We belleve Coney Island, ‘the poor man's paradise,’ is no joke; that when a workingman can take his wife and children away from the sweltering metropolis to such an amusement re- sort and such a beach at a cost of five cents for carfare, it is sométhing worth seeing and studying. !umonc and a Christian Scientist, to | ‘gent Answers at the Waldorf-Astoria | ‘demonstration that women { Through Counsel, | for a hearing on May 16, |to commit homicide.” “THE BEST FOR THE LEAST”.
