In states where full or partial suffrage prevails special classes for the study of citizenship are being formed. Leagues of woman voters are forming in- every community and their non- partisan influence is counted on to place the right sort of men in office. Mrs. Cowles takes the stand that the vote of the serious minded women of this country at the 1920 election will change the tenor of American life through a cleansing of national politics.
