Boom?
From the American Women's Club of Mexico City, Mexico, arrived last week the following analysis of the U. S. 1928 presidential campaign:
The Democratic Party is hopelessly split between supporters of William G. McAdoo and Governor Alfred E. Smith. Nor can any other male Democrat unite the Party.
Therefore the "Women's Club of the United States"* is planning to name Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, widow of the War President, as a candidate for President.
Democrats, loyal to the memory of Woodrow Wilson, will rally round her, giving the Party a united front in the next election.
Furthermore, 10,000,000 women voters, both Democrat and Republican, will rise to the opportunity of putting a woman in the White House.
Meanwhile the Republican Party is in a very bad way, inasmuch as there is, throughout the country, great opposition to a third term for President Coolidge.
Rallying enthusiastically around the Wilson Boom, U. S. women in Mexico City were said to have promised to raise funds in support of Mrs. Wilson's campaign, to have regretted their inability to add their votes to her cause.
* No such club is listed among the women's organizations of the U. S.
