Women Increase Political Activity As Election Nears As the primary and general elections draw closer in this presidential election year, polit ical activity of women in Med ford and the valley increases dally. This includes not only the party activity of Democrats and Republicans, but the non-partisan efforts of the League of Women Voters. Mrs. Edward C. Kelly, chair man of Jackson County Demo cratic Central committee, and Mrs. Curtis L. Hopkins, who holds the chairmanship of Jack son County Republican Central committee, pointed out the great responsibility which wom en should feel in politics in statements issued last week. "Give today's woman worker a precinct map and the borders melt into a circle," Mrs. Kelly said. "In her restricted precinct she covers the nation. She covers the world. Her share of the world's problems are there, In the precinct, for her to solve. "Woman's stake in good gov ernment has never been greater, nor the need for Jicr help more insistent. The welfare of her children, of the aged, the cost of living, the family payroll, edu cation, health these are all matters for legislation. Her alert interest and influence can solve these problems to her own lik ing. "The achievement of world peace is woman's responsibility. She has brought those sons into the world. What is she going to let happen to them and to their future? Is she going to shrug her shoulders and sit at the bridge table? Or is she going to help select the best leadership possi ble and then vigilantly and tire lessly join hands with all citi zens of good will to maintain peace in the world?" "Today there are nearly 2, 000,000 more women than men of voting age in America," Mrs. Hopkins pointed out. "If all of them were registered and if all voted, they could determine the outcome of any election. "If women really want to save their sons from being slaugh tered in undeclared wars, they can save them; if women really care what the future holds for the youth of the nation, they can do something about it; if women really want peace, eco nomic freedom and equality of opportunity for all, they can have it. "If they are too lazy or In different to actively participate in politics, they deserve no bet ter government than they are willing to work for. "I hope the women of Ameri ca wake up to their great respon sibility and exercise the privil ege which their sisters fought so hard to win for them almost 40 years ago, the privilege of voting. My advice to the women of Jackson county? Register and vote Republican in November." Mrs. Frank Fairweather, pres ident of Medford League of Women Voters, pointed out that the league program is to edu cate women how to participate in politics and that the league urges women to register and vote in the party of their choice. Mrs. Fairweather quoted the purpose of the league which is "to promote political responsi bility through informed and ac tive participation of citizens in government."
