WOMEN IN POLITICS
ACTIVEIN GEORGIA
G. 0. P. AND DEMOCRATS FIND
RECRUITS IN FEMALE SEX
STUDY VARIOUS -PROBLEMS
Atlanta, Ga. March 2.—Adoption of
a progressive legislative program, or
ganization plans, studies in politics
and governmental subjects, mark the
activities of women voters in Atlanta
and throughout the state at the pre
sent time.
That the women are as “busy as
bee* in a tar bucket” is apparent here
and many other cities and towns of
the state. Some o fthe subjects they
are dr.cussing are “Education”;
“Child Welfare”; Women in Indus
try”; Prevention of Tariff in Wohen";
“Civil and Political Status of Women”
and “How Shall We Vote and For
Whom”.
And here’s a surprising feature in
a democratic state. They are not all
democrats. The state republican or
ganization is rapidly recruiting women
to its ranks. While J. L. Phillips,
chairman of the republican state or
ganization, is endeavoring to build
up a white controlled republican party
in Georgia, he has organization plans
going in another angle among the fe
minine population of the state. As
announced recently, Mrs. W. J. Tilson,
wife of a prominent Atlanta lawyer
and well known in the republican
circles of the state, has been appointed
vice chairman of the state republican
organization, and Mrs. Tilson, it is
generally admitted, is making con
siderable headway. She is assisted by
Miss Betsy Jewett Edwards, repre
senting the republican women’s nat
ional executive committee, who is
making speeches which attract large
audiences of women.
Getting Ready To Vote
That the women of Georgia are de
termined to play a part in Georgia
politics is evidenced by the great num
ber who are now registering to vote.
Any woman who has lived in Geor
gia for one year and in the county
six months is entitled to register. To
vote in a city election it is necessary
to register every year after January
1st.
A poll tax does not have to be paid
to register this year. It is being made
clear by the women that when a person
registers he or she has to swear that
all taxes for the prececding year are
paid. A poll tax for women was not
due to be paid in 1921, and therefore
docs not have to be paid until the
taxes for 1922 are paid.
It has been said that a majority of
married will vote the choice of their
husbands and that a majority of un
married women will vote the choice
of their fathers, brothers, or male
friends. Whether that be true or not
as a general rule, it is shown here,
it is a fact that she who votes the
choice of husband, father, brother or
friend will in effect double the power
of his one half the strength of the ,
ballot of husband, father, brother or
friend, as compared with that of men
whose wives, mothers, daughters and
girl friends do vote. So in this mat
ter of voting, whether the woman
cast the Democratic or G. 0. P. Bal
lot, as Mrs. Tilson, Miss Edwards and
other feminine political leaders here
point out, there is a family obligation
as well as a civic responsibility.
Women Begin To Figure
J. L. Phillips says that 50,000 re
publicans voted in Georgia in the
last general election without any ef
fort at organization. He estimates
that 50,000 more, or a total of 100,-
000 will be enrolled in the present
white-controlled organization. Mrs.
Tilson, head of the woman’s organiza
tion, estimates that 100,000 women
will vote the republican ticket. De
mocratic women leaders here say that
the combined male and female vote
of (he G. O. P. is after all only a
small minority but Mrs. Tilson says
the minority will be a erdit to the
state and themselves. It is under
stood here that women will be recom
mended for a number of federal ap
pointments in Georgia.

Found a Cure for Indigestion
“I use Chamberlain’s Stomach and
Liver Tablets for indigestion and find
they suit my case better than any
dyspepsia remedy I have ever tried
and I have used many different med
icines. I am nearly fifty one years
of age and have suffered a great deal
from indigestion. I can eat almost
anything I want to, now,” writes
George W. Emory, Rock Mills, Ala.
These tablets contain no pepsin but
strengthen the stomach and enable
it to digest the food naturally.
