The leaders of both political parties believe that women of the United States, who are taking a unprecedented part in the proai-track dential campaign, will be the de- ciding factor in several doubtful shooting. areas, and the leaders are making special efforts to win their votes.

The national committees of both parties have scores of women avail able to be sent to address meet- lags throughout the country upea request. These women have been kept busy filing engagements made by their national committees, and generally are the chief speakers at meetings they address, which are composed of men and women.

More important than these meet- ings is the broadcasting net-work, reaching millions-the total of radio listeners in the United States is esinuated to exceed 41,000,000.
