D.C. in May, and said that any interest ed women may attend Preceding Mrs. Cornett's re marks, Kathryn McAllister and Steve Nye, Medford students at Stanford university active in young Republican groups, spoke briefly. Steve Nye pointed out that although most college stu dents cannot vote, they derive much benefit from a party or ganization and are able to con tribute worthwhile effort, par ticularly in giving students chance to think about and dis cuss political philosophies, so that they are better able to weigh and evaluate the various philosophies with which they come in contact on a college campus. He said "The majority of col lege professors are Democrats and they frequently slant their classroom presentations in favor of their personal political be liefs." Miss McAllister described the specific activities on the Stan ford campus and in San Mateo county, and commented on the changed attitude toward mem bership in the group and its rapid expansion during the last couple of years Featured speakers for the meeting were Mrs. Oscar Kit tredge, Klamath Falls, and Mrs. Frank Bash, chairman of the Jackson County Central com mittee, Mrs. Kittredge, discus sing the philosophy of the Re publican party, said that to her it was "the American dream or the establishment of govern ment by the consent of the gov erned.

She pointed out that Republican leaders of this country have not been aristocrats many of them have come from humble homes. Republican accomplishments from 1861 to 1933, Mrs. Kit tredge said, include a forward looking social and economic pro gram, a national banking sys tem, encouragement of develop ment of natural resources through the Homestead Act, a sound currency and economic policies, which have made the United States the leader in agri culture, mining and manufactur ing in the entire world. Repub licans were responsible for pass ing the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution and for the abolishment of slav ery and granting the right of the Negro to vote, she said. The speaker discussed at some length the similarity between the philosophy of President Eis enhower and other great Repub licans, particular Sen. Robert Taft, pointing out that differ ences of opinion within any group are a healthy sign as long as the overall purpose and aim are in harmony. "In fact," said Mrs. Kittredge, "when you don't have differences of opinion, and everyone is in agreement, you are dying." She finished her talk with a recipe for housewives: "Take equal parts of federal rights, state rights, and right of man mix them well and you have the philosophy of the Republican party." Mrs. Bash explained the legal basis for the party organization such as Republican women and young Republicans have an im portant place in the program in their potential ability to support the central committee. Women, said Mrs. Bash, will do most of the work in the 1956 election, partly because they have more time than men, and partly be cause women by nature are more dedicated. "We are not just about to sit by and let a wel fare state become a reality be cause of apathy," said Mrs. Bash. She then presented an analysis of the last election by precincts in Jackson county, and explained the type of precinct work necessary to improve the results in the weak precincts.
