MRS. NICHOLSON ASKS SOME QUESTIONSWomenWomen’s WetWho is Back of WomenMrs. Charles H. Sabin, former Republican national committee woman from New York state, is now head of a nation-wide organization of women which has as its object the overthrow of the prohibition law. Mrs. Sabin wrote Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson, chairman of the National Women's Democratic Law Enforcement League, asking her to join her wet society, and announcing that delegates from all over the country will meet this fall probably in Ohio.
