EDITOR’S NOTE—This article,
by Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vice
chairman of the Republican Na
tional Committee, is the conclud
ing argument in the three-cor
nered presidential debate by the
three most prominent women
political workers in the country.
By MRS. ALVIN T. HERT
Vice-Chairman, Republican Na
tional Committee
CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—There are
27,000,000 women who will be
eligible to go to the polls in No
vember and cast their vote for
president
It is important to those women
to know the caliber of the men they
will be called upon to judge. They
will not vote blindly—they are be
coming informed.
The thoughtful women will find
President Coolidge is first of all .1
typical American, who represents
the best in American traditions and
training. They will find him a. man
of spiritual qualities which fit him
for leadership. He stands for sim
plicity, the absence of red tape, for
quick forward-looking action. They
will find as they trace his career
that courage has marked every step.
President Coolidge has long been
an advocate of mothers’ pension
laws and other laws to aid mothers,
such as the maternity and infancy
act, which has been Characterized
as the “greatest welfare measure
of the past decade.” This law was
passed by the 67th Congress in
1921, which Congress was in the
control of the Republican party.
Limits Women’s Hours of Labor
I Massachusetts, home state of
President Coolidge, is one of the
five states limiting hours of labor
for women to 48 a week. As. gov
ernor of Massachusetts Coolidg*
urged the passage of such a law.
1 When one stops to search the
j record of the two great parties in
state, legislation for the protection
I of womanhood, it is brought forth
that in the regulhrly Democratic
ptates long hours prevail, while the
rule in the normally Republican
states is liberal hours of labor.

not provide mothers’ pensions and
five of these are regularly Demo
cratic.
It has been said frequently that
women ar? the purchasing agents
for the 2.;,000,000 families in the
United States. This is true, but
before they can purchase for these
families, they must have money in
their pockets.
Women refuse to accept tie
statement that what tire United
States needs is free trace in order
that we may buy cheaply the pro
ducts of other countries. There
are two sides to this tariff problem,
the buying and the selling. Under
the Democratic one-sided theory of
low tariff on imported goods, tho
country has suffered the worst
pangs of unemployment.
Full Dinner Pail Under Tariff
With this system at work, Am
erican women have known what it
means to be unable to buy bread
for their children. At the same
time American men have known
what it is to tramp the street lock
ing for work.
We should bear in mind that un
der a Republican protective tariff
law the prosperity of this country
Jias been such that women have
been able to spend £40,000,000
per annum, or nearly 70 per cent of
the national income, upon retail
purchases. And four years ago,
when the Republican party came
into power in this country, there
were 5,000,000 men out of employ
ment.
The United States IWTs, I believe,
led the way to lasting peace. The
Arms Conference at Washington
and the Dawes plan are the two
most important steps taken in the
last four years.
A policy of strict economy en
forced by the, Republican party
since 1921 has made possible a re
duction in taxation and has enabled
the government to reduce the pub
lic debt two and one-half billion dol
lars.
The tax burdens of the people
have been relieved to the extent of
per annum. A
budget expenditures from $5,500,-
000,000 a year to approximately
$3,400,000,000. All this has been
accomplished in three years, which
presents a record unsurpassed in
the history of public finance.
