It is interesting to note that Howard Vincent O‘Brien in his column in the Daily News last week said, "In the piping times of peace we could get along even if our representatives were stupid or dishonest. Maybe they were expensive but we could afford the cost. It‘s different now. In this emâ€" ergency we need the best men we can get. We need brains and character.

Since the April primaries are even more critical than the November elecâ€" tions, Mrs. Bohrer encouraged memâ€" bers to take an active part in the comâ€" ing campaign, saying, "By joining the league in the first place, league memâ€" bers have indicated their devotion to the public interest, and by their subâ€" sequent training they have become well etuipped . to exert leadership through direct political participation." "Other members are not subject to these restrictions. Their partisan acâ€" tivities must be in their own names, never as ‘members of the League of Women Voters,‘ and diligence: must be exercised to guard against infraction of this by zealous campaign manaâ€" gers." & 8 ’ Quoting Mrs. Bohrer, "The League as an organization is and will continue to be strictly nonâ€"partisan. It will enâ€" dorse no party and no individual can didate. It asks its presidents, memâ€" bership and finance chairmen to ‘reâ€" frain from all partisan activity, even as individuals A few other board members may be asked at the discreâ€" tion of the board to stay out of it, if their association with the league in the public mind is an especially close one. ; The National League Council at Inâ€" dianapolis concluded its statement of wartime service with the following sentence:‘ "Upon this next Congress may well hang the fate of that kind of civilization for which we are. now pledging our all." She emphasizes that the league as an organization will continue to be nonâ€" partisan, endorsing no party nor indiâ€" vidual candidate, but that league leaâ€" ders consider the times too crucial for individual members to refrain from political activity because of a mistaken interpretation of the organization‘s nonâ€"partisan policy.
