Officers of the National Woman's Party who will direct the Woman's Liberty Drive which opens on Thanksgiving Day to raise funds to complete the ratification of the federal suffrage amendment. When the drive opens 20 states will have ratified, 19 have already taken favorable action, and a special session has been called in North Dakota for November 25. 16 states are still needed for the adoption of the amendment. These must be secured, according to suffrage leaders, by the first of March in order to enable women of the country to register in the primaries of all states. The Woman's Liberty Drive will be conducted in states which have already ratified the amendment and the funds will be used in campaigns to persuade reluctant governors to call special sessions of their state legislatures. "If special sessions were called a majority in enough of the legislatures is pledged to complete ratification tomorrow," Alice Paul, chairman of the National Woman's Party and Commander-in-Chief of the drive, stated today.

House leader off the reservation. Rep. Edward T. Taylor, D. of Colo., and acting House majority leader for the 74th Congress created a furror on the Hill when he advocated a currency inflation method of paying off the soldiers bonus. This usual Administration stalwart is now throwing his support behind Rep. Wright Patman's plan. At the same time, Rep. Taylor declared that he was through acting as House Majority Leader unless supported by a direct cacus vote. These two decisions of the veteran threaten to disrupt House Democratic ranks even before the opening of the new session next month. Rep. Raylor is the dean of all Western Congressmen.
