Mrs. Glessner Moore Brady. Circuit Clerk
| of Vernon County. whose home is in Ne
| vada, Mo. is in the city. visiting friends
and stopping at No 3542 Pine street. Mrs.
Brady has been here several days and ex-
poets to remain a week longer.
Mrs. Brady. who bears the distinction of
being the only woman who has ever held
a political office In Missouri, is young, OF
pleasing personality and an engaging ad-
dress. There is a delightful absence of
everything even remotely suggestive OF the
female politician in her manner and appear
ance. and those disagreeable mental and
physical traits of the typical woman suffra-
gist which one unconsciously associates
with an officeholding woman are noticeably
lacking.
Mrs. Brady impresses one as being just
a natural ''womanly'' woman, and she
quickly confirms this impression by her con-
versation. She will talk of the weather, the
drama, literature, fashions and anything
and everything but politics.
NOT INFATUATED WITH
HER POLITICAL POSITION.
.I am not a politician" she says. land
really 1 detest politics, although l have Il
great many close friends among the DEM
ocratic politicians. 1 shall be glad to get
out of politics when my term expires, jan
uary 1 next, although, to tell the truth,
have never really been in politics. don't
believe in woman suffrage and don't believe
women should dabble in affairs of govern
ment. 1 believe womans proper sphere Is
the home.
MY appointment and election to the Of
fee of Circuit Clerk came about through
a peculiar combination of circumstances
Nv husband, Henry C. Brady. had been
elected to the office, but a few months after
his election his lungs affected him SO that
the confinement was too much Tor MN. L
helped him out with the work, and In course
of time I became very familiar with the
routine When his physician ordered MN
n Ar,zona I continued to do the work,
with the help of his assistant he oied
after two years of his term had expired. and
at the solicitation Of my friends Governor
stephens appointed me to fill out his un-
expired term.
."The Governor is a close friend Of our
family, and it was partly, L suppose
through personal friendship that he gave
me the appointment. 1t was high honor
and 1 thoroughly appreciated 1t, as 1 was
the first woman thus honored with po-
l,tical ofics In this State. A month later
the Governor turned down a monster petit
ton for the appointment Of another woman
IN office in another part of the State. and
1 then appreciated my appointment still
more.
when my term Of office expired, my
friends insisted on me running for the NOM
ination. which Is the equivalent to election
in that county. I was persuaded against
NV wishes to make the race. There were
three men seeking the nomination against
me. Yes, I went out and made canvass,
lust like the men.
