The National Council of Jewish Women asserted today that “religious prejudice has entered the presidential election campaign” and urged voters to combat the development.
Mrs. Charles Hymes, president, said that “two kinds of campaigns will take place, one the official campaign in the public forums, the other a whispering campaign in private parlors.” She added that “the whispering has already started” and appealed particularly to American Jewish women to look on “bigoted reasoning” as “a challenge which must be answered.”
