There will be only two essential qualifications for any woman on our committee—that sho shall be for Hoover and that she snail be willing to work.

Although he is #0 familiar | with the problems of other countiies and with America’s relation to them, he is just as sympathetic and wise about the problems of Mrs. John Smith who has to keep house on thirty dollars a week, It has been said, you know, that every woman in the coun- try would vote for him if she had the chance. And it seems to be that {t would be especialy appropriate, in this year, when large numbers of wo- ; men are aaaed to the clectorate, if they should have a President with their interests at heart. The World has been so splendid in its stand for Hoover—I am sure women appreciate that.” “And how do you feel, after your first political plunge?’ “Ob, I'm exetted,” #he admitted emi!- ingly. “At first I thought I hadn't a chance.
