WOMEN TBY TO GET
MORE OUT 10 POLLS
League of Voters’ Campaign
Aimed at Stay-at-Home
Citizens of Nation.
BY MATMEH ORK.iI PKAK.
If you wake up some morning and
r.nrl the roof of your garage or barn
painted in bis red figures; if after a
tiresome day at home or office you
“tune in" for a bit of sprightly jazz
and pick tip instead a lecture on why
you should vote; if on November 4
you take down your telephone re
ceiver and before getting the num
ber asked for have to answer the
question -'Have you voted yet?"—
do not imagine the Ku Klux is on
your trail; that the political bosses
have got control of the air, or that
is trying to get fresh with
y ou.
Far from it! It is just the I.eague
of Women Voters trying to remind
you by means of these little devices
of your simple duty as a citizen.
At national headquarters in Wash
ington, housed in the historic old
building on Seventeenth street, which
was once the War Department, this
influential, non-partisan organization
of women is conducting a unique get
out-the-vote campaign. Here a small
army of trained league leaders is
making an intensive drive to rout
the voters of the country from the
trenches of apathy and indifference
into which they have fallen, ivnploy
ing tactics new in political cam
paign;-.
Alarmed by the growing lack of
Interest in politics, as indicated by
voting statistics of the last four pntvs
identiai elections, which show a
steady decline in the percentage ot
voters who go to the polls, the
I.eague of Voters has undertaken to
arouse the stay-at-homes to the dan
ger lurking in the rifle of the minor
ity and to the knowledge that the
only way they can restore democ
racy and count toward good govern
ment is through the ballot box.
Drive Well Uappril Out.
This campaign is not a visionaj-y.
Idealistic affair, but an extremely
practical, well inapped-out. clear-cut.
educational campaign. The league
has set a goal of 2."> per cent increase
over the 192<* vole, with definite
plans for attaining it. Its appeal to
the public is to stop, look and listen,
but not to vote on the run without
knowing what is what.
"Year in and year out.” declares
Miss Belle Sherwin of Cleveland.
Ohio, newly elected national presi
dent of the league, "intelligent citi
zens discuss government —what is
right and what is wrong with it.
Fault is chiefly found with the use
and misuse of governmental ma
chinery, a criticism that indicates an
interest but which cannot be con
structive if it ends in talk. No mat
ter how just the condemnation may
be. it is only destructive unless back
ed by ballots. The ballot in the last
analy is is the voters' only hold on
government. Honest administration
and efficient management may be pro
moted by public opinion, but are
gained only by votes.
"A small vote can be manipulated;
a large vote is beyond the power of
bosses to control. If a huge vote
can be brought out this year, there
will he something like a revolution
in this country, for it will become
what it is now only in name—a gov
ernment by the people.
“Unless intelligent voters do come
to the fore at the coming election,”
continued Miss Sherwin. “the United
States is approaching an election in
which illiteracy will have a menac
ing Influence. There are about 4.300.-
000 illiterates over 21 years of age in
this country. At every election the
party machines bring out a controlled
illiterate vote, while the intelligent
vote, uncontrolled by itself, sits
supinely by without trying to see
what the vote of all the people would
mean.
"We talk of Americanization. We
even carry on Americanization work,
and yet those who boast of education |
and knowledge of public affairs are
the very ones who neglect the ballot
ing privileges and responsibilities.
Nobody can call himself an American
who does not perform a citizens' duty,
which is the casting of an intelligent

] of 1896 SO per cent of the eligible
: voters cast their ballot. In 1900 the pre

162 per cent went to the polls. In
1920 this dropped to 49 per cent—less
than half.”
i As this last slump has been largely
blamed on the women who. In 1920,
had their first opportunity to vote in
a national eleVtion, but who failed to
take advantage of it as they should,
the I.eague of Voters' campaign,
while carried on for both men and
women, is especially planned to rouse
the new voter to her new responsibil

A shopping tour
without fatigue
TWO women on a shopping trip meet at 4 o’clock- One
has that dreadfully tired feeling that almost every woman
who shops knows. The other feels hardly a trace of fatigue.
Yet they have both walked about the same distance. The
difference is in the way their shoes fit.
A pair of shoes, to be either comfortable or good-looking,
must first fit well. Arnold Glove-Grip Shoes arc made on
this principle. Cut to follow the natural lines of the foot,
they fit snugly around the instep like a glove. Lacing a
Glove-Grip lifts up the arch instead of pressing it down.
Yet Arnold Glove-Grip Shoes are not freakish. They are
good-looking when you put them on and they stay good
looking because they fit.
Arnold Glove-Grip Shoes are made for both men and
women, in the latest styles, .in all the popular leathers and
shapes.
Come in and try on a pair of Glove-Grip Shoes. There
is no obligation to buy—we just want you to sec for yourself
what a difference there is. You will like the style illustrated
b c l ow —the popular “Trim-Arch,” an oxford for women.

words and the league's plank as pre
sented to the parties.
It is the first time that so many
party platforms have been published
together for purposes of study, and
the tremendous demand for copies of
it from women's clubs and individuals
all over the country augurs well for
women's growing interest in issues
to be decided at the polls. Public
libraries, research committees and
political study groups have also re
quested the platform pamphlet by
the hundred.
Co-operating with the league in its
campaign of education and vote-get
ting are other women's organizations,
including the Federation of Women's
Clubs.
