"It was outlined by a master mind and presented in a sound, commonsense recital. The Amer ican people in reading it will know just what it means and knowing Herbert Hoover's past marvelous record in Aemrican and world affairs they will make him the next president of the United. States." STANFORD UNIVERSITY Sta dium, Calif., Aug. 11. (AP) Women, both those of California and of other states, east west and south, had an important part In the notification of Herbert Hoo ver today that the republican par ty has made him its standard bearer. They predominated among the thousands gathered in the stadium and evidenced a far greater de gree of enthusiasm than the men They also had membership on the notification committee and on the republican national committee del egatlon gathered in the stand. Both their enthusiasm and their participation were! welcomed by the nominee, but in his acceptance address he went beyond that, es pecially commending to the wom en that they not only go to the polls themselves, but assist In getting out the rote. High Standards Noted ''The participation of women in politics meana higher political standards," Hoover said at one point, "if they could apply their higher sense of service and re sponsibility, their freshness and enthusiasm, their capacity for or ganization to the problem of get ting out the rote it would become an issue of profound patriotism." By 'these statements, the nom inee endorsed in-principle the ed ucational campaign carried on by the National league of women vo ters, the general federation of womens clubs and similar organ izations. Going a step further, he made it clear by repeated declara tions that he regards the Influ ence of women as of the highest importance In keeping the moral and spiritual progress of the na tion abreast of its economic de velopment. Supporters Active This idea already has taken root among the women organizers here in California and particular ly in the towns adjacent to Hoo ver's own home. These hare been busy for weeks conducting a house to house campaign i to enroll the women vote and their efforts al ready hare met with success in increased registration. Republican party leaders have established, separate women's headquarters in San Francisco and have brought to the coast the plans tb reach the "non-rotlng home maker" that Mrs. Hert. rice- chairman of the national commit tee, launched at the eastern and mid-western organizations meet ings. Active work by innumerable small Hoover women's clubs is al ready under way. Leaders Gather Leading women from most of the mountain and : Pacific states were here today to exchange views with those who came from two of the eastern battlefields, Rhode island and North Carolina, as to the best means for; carrying the campaign "into erery home."
