It is interesting to note that Gen- eral Motors, the Department of the Interior and the League of Women Voters have something very much in common. Leaves of absence have de- prived them all of valued leaders. We are in no position to reconcile this sort of conduct with the customs, by-laws, or policies of the first two institutions. We are, however, well equipped to cite chapter and verse for this behavior on the part of League members. Section two of Article II of the National By-Laws while stress- ing the non-partisan character of the League urges the individual members to become party members. When ofhcers of the League under- take active party work a safeguard- ing procedure must be found so that no slightest doubt may be cast on the non-partisanship of the League as an orgaiuzauon. What the procedure should be is a matter for the officer herself and her board to determine. The campaign year finds an un- usual number of League leaders ac- tive in party work. The National Executive Committee in September voted leaves of absence to Mrs. Maud Wood Park, counselor on legislation, and Miss Gertrude Ely, counselor on new voters. Mrs. Park is now cam- paigning for Mr. Hoover while Miss Ely is speaking for Mr. Smith. An- other interesting parallel exists in the case of Mrs. Casper Whitney and Mrs. Arthur Ringland. Both were members of the National Board last year but did not stand for re-election, and both are members now of the radio committee of the National League which has arranged the well- balanced programs of the "Voters Service" since January 1. Mrs. Whit- ney in addition is chairman of the Women's Independent Committee for Smith, and Mrs. Ringland is an active worker in the Women's Committee for Hoover. The chairman of the latter committee is Mrs. F. Louis Slade, tormer officer of the National League of Women Voters, who was granted leave of absence from her duties as vice-president of the New York League of Women Voters when she entered upon active campaign work. A similar case with somewhat differ- ent treatment is that of Mrs. William G. Hibbard, vice-president of the Illi- nois League of Women Voters and former member of the National Board. The Illinois Board is reperted to have accepted the resignation she sub- mitted in order that she might be free to campaign for the Democratic can- didate. Two former National League staff members, Miss Josephine Schain and Miss Marguerite Woolley, are also campaigning, Miss Schain associated with Mrs. Slade's committee and Miss Woolley with Miss Ely.--From the October Bulletin of the National League of Women Voters.
