Arizona republican., 1899-02-09

1 names-and she would never be SatiS fed till some one taught Senator Qua very much-needed lessen. She stud | jed politics, national and local, more assiduously than ever, and she waited for the time of the teaching of tht great Pennsylvanian to come. Senato Quay is no small politician to bf snuffed into innocuous desuetude. Int man who was one of the most force 1 full chairmen the republican nationa committee ever had, the man whC swayed the great state of Pennsylvania as if it had been a district school, anC he the teacher; the man who elected Benjamin Harrison and turned New York state upside down as camp cook fcps a f1apjack on the griddle-is nc small opponent. But Mrs. Dave Martin was not afraid of him.
 When the senatorial fight came or ir Pennsylvania, Dave Martin was : senator from Philadelphia. He went to Harrisburg to get into the thick oi the battle. Mrs. Martin saw her bus band eff
 Dave she said, If you don't beat won't" said David Martin He threw himself into the fight with all the fiery zeal which has distinguished him for years. David Martin can fight politi- cal battle about as well as any man in America He unanswered Gravesend and all that part of Long IslaRd away from the democrats in 1888, and he is credited with a good strong support of Roosevelt. He went to Harrisburg to defeat Quay, and he didn't take the least bit of pains to hide his plans. Mrs. Martin stayed in Philadelphia one day after her husband left her. She read the balloting for senator. Quay was thirteen votes short. A break in the anti-Quay lines might mean a stampede to Quay. Mrs. Martin lost her appetite She telephcned over to her sister-in-law. Mrs. William l. Roo- ney, wife of the collector of taxes.
 ''Hello!" said Mrs. Martin.
 'Helloi" said Mrs. Rooney.
 twill you go to Harrisburg with me?'' said Mrs Martin.
 ''When?" said Mrs. Rooney.
 Today" said Mrs. Martin T must go and help Dave fight Quay"
 All Iight!" said Mrs. Rooney.
 So Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Rooney packed their very best clothes into their very best trunks, put on their travelling cloaks and travelling hats and set off for Harrisburg and the sena- torial fight
 They took the best room in the best hotel in Harrisburg. They saw every one who wanted to be seen and some who were not anxious to be looked upon.
 They wore their best clothes. They sent for all their friends. They held informal receptions in the evenings, they had quiet little talks with infu- ential people in the mornings, and in the afternoons they saw the women they knew and told them wha< were the duties of good wives in the way Of influencing husbands in politics
 Mrs. Martin has weird power of looking at a perpleXed voter and tell ing just about how nearly he is tremb- ling on the Drink of a change of heart
 She has also a nice little way of help ing him to make up his mind. without even limiting that she has the least idea of what she is doing
 She talked dresses and children and the servant problem to the women till they all said she was just sweet"
 She talked Pennsylvania and state pride and individual ambition to the men till each thought himself really a fine fellow and a very important one and Mrs. David a good little woman, who really knows how to appreciate clever man.
 The legislators and state senators who had labor affiliations learned that Mrs. Martin sprung, somehow. from the good old Quaker city brickyards stock.
 Men just entering politics found out that Dave" Martin, boss of PhiladeI- phia, began his career as water front policeman, and that he and Mrs. Mar tin were both proud of that fact
 Mrs. Martin worked night and day.
 The joint assembly came to a dead lock.
 They paired and went home.
 Dave, said Mrs. Martin, "the fights over.''
 Yes said David Martin. ''it is.'' 
 Yes" said MT. Martin.
 We and Wanamaker.' said Mrs. Martin, with one of her charming smiles.
 And then she went home to Phila- delphia and told the children how much nicer it was to be there than to be in Harrisburg.
 John Wanamaker has made the fight Of his life to beat Quay
 He "stumped the state' for two months against the new governor. otone-Quay' Stone, people called him-at an expense of $2 000 a day. He kept a manage at Harrisburg and paid him $500 month to defeat Quay.
 John Wanamal1er is a power in Pennsylvania, but the shrewdest poli- ticlans in the state will tell you that little Mrs. Martin did more toward the discomfiting Of Matthew Quay than John Wanamaker or any other half lozen men in the state.-Winifred Black in New York Journal
