...string of smart motors swished up the driveway to Mrs. Edward Small Moore's shingled, rambling country home in Roslyn, L. I. one sunny morning last week. Out of the shining automobiles stepped 70 ladies clad brightly, tastefully, expensively. Reckoned by money and prestige, they were the cream of the nation's womanhood, gathered from Maine to Oregon.

Mrs. Sabin's sisterhood was to meet at Roslyn, L. I. July 7 to decide which Presidential candidate it would support. The Crusaders, the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment and the United Repeal Council were to meet later for a like purpose. There are 33 Senatorial elections ahead in November and 435 Representatives to be campaigned for or against before...
