WOMEN INFLUENCE
ELECTION
Wife OF new YORK GOVERNOR PER-
SUADES HIM TO BECOME A
PASSIVE CANDIDATE

New YOrk.-The spirit of Paquin has
become the occult control of thes sen
atorial situation. according to gossip
in Tammany Hall. The husky dis
trict leaders, most of whom would not
know a redingote from a hobble skirt
declare that the question is no longer
whether William f. Sheehan or some
one else shall be the next United
States Senator from New York, but
whether Mrs. w. F. Sheehan or Mrs
John A. Dix shall wear handsome
Paris gowns as the wife of the next
Senator.
The story goes that lcng before tn,
sturdy voters of the state had the
most remote idea that w. F. Sheehai
had any design upon the senatorial
toga, Mrs. Sheehan had been taken
into her husbands confidence. Mrs
Sheehan promptly ordered severa
magnificent gowns from the leading
Paris dressmakers.
Mrs. Sheehan made many friends al
Albany among the Legislators, and
her costumes aroused much admira
tion among the Legislators ladies
So that it is reported in Tammany cir
cles that Mrs. Dix determined to hand
in a carte blanche order to her owr
dressmaker first and finally to usge
her husband to sacrifice himself il
need be to end the deadlock by ac
cepting the election to the Senate
for himself.
Governor Dix could be coaxed tt
accept the election as United States
Senator right now" said one of thes'
leaders. because his wife has real
ized that handsome and intellectual
woman may be of more importanc
| as the wife of United States Sens
tor than as the wife of a Governor.
