NOT TIME FOR WOMEN TO HOLD
OFFICE, SAYS JANE adams

OFFICE, SAYS JANE adams
New York, July 2.-Jane Adams
of Hull House, Chicago, who arrived
here from Europe today, at first de-
-clared she would not accept the can
didacy for mayor of Chicago in the
coming election.
Later, in the same interview, she
qualified this statement considerably,
and gave the impression that she
might possibly be induced to accept
the candidacy if sufficiently pressed.
Miss Adams friends have been
circulating a persistent call for the
woman reform leader to run for
mayor ever since the women of Hi
,nois were given the vote.
Miss Adams arrived today on the
liner Olympic. She has been in Eu-
rope attending the International WO-
mans Suffrage convention at Buda
-Pesth.
'The fact that my friends have
mentioned me as a possible candidate
for mayor of Chicago" said Miss
Adams, ''is a great surprise to me.
TIT is hardly fair to expect me
to answer at this time fiat question
as to the possibility of my accept
zance.
ct is against our principles to
rush in for office-holding the moment
we have the vote. think it would be
well, Unwise, for the women of Hi
.nois to accept or seek public office
until they have had a few years ex-
.peTience as voters.
'At this time, II think 1 should
refuse to be a candidate for any pub
lie office if requested to be so.
"Of course, it is yet a hypothetical
question, but 1 am not sure that even
if, as your question suggests, I
should be called that 1 would not
refuse the nomination"
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-02

upon them?" suggested the cor
respondent.
''Wel, unless there were-Circum-
stances-I think l should refuse"
Miss Adams expressed great sur
prise that the present legislature had
given women the vote and right to
hold Office.
cit is a great victory for the
cause" she said. TITS main signi-
ficance lies in the fact that a state
so big as Illinois, lying east of the
Mississippi, should have decided in
favor of equal suffrage at this time.
But I did not expect it. thought
Wisconsin would give women the
vote before Illinois did"
Miss Adams was asked if the wO-
men of Illinois would vote as women
voters or as party adherents. Miss
Adams said:
eve shall not, as women voters,
remain segregated and vote as a wO-
mans party, excepting on certain
moral and sociological questions that
only the influence of women's votes
will settle rightly.
"I believe that New York is ready
for woman's suffrage. think the
women of New York will get the vote
within the next few years. They will
do so before Massachusetts because
the forces in the Bay State opposed
to woman suffrage are stronger and
more bitter than those of the Empire
State.

Richardson, crippled husband OF the
woman who was ridden on rail at Vo.

dience which crowded the small court

men were the defendants.
There were smiles when the husband,

ance of stout stick, hobbled from the

chair, but there were none VIII en- he had
told his story;
1t was simple story of love and trust

Il don't know why they gossiped about
my wife, unless it was because she was
pretty" said the witness. 1--WE were
happy together. l thought that if she
went away the gossip would stop. and |

Milo Shanks a Prospective
Congressman.

The subjoined article from the Wav
! erly, n. Y, Free Press will be of inter
est to the many friends in this city anc
county of Milo Shanks. a native of Rich
mond and formerly editor of the Panta
graph, of this city:
While it is little early to tell which
way the cat is going to jump, so far a,
nominations for Congress are concerned
already there is talk of new candidate
in the field in this district. Conditions
in the Republican ranks point strongly
to Milo Shanks, of Elmira, as the next
Congressman.
Mr.. Shanks is at present the editor
and owner of the Elmira Advertiser,
OF which paper he took charge five years
ago. Mr. Shanks came to Elmira from
Washington. His work in the capital
city made him thoroughly familiar with
the workings of the legislative bodies
there and gave him knowledge, not on
ly OF political conditions, but of what
constitutes statesman. Under his man
agement the Advertiser, the leading Re
publican paper in this district, has great
ly prospered, fully justifying the conf
dence placed in its editor by the leaders
of his party. A short time ago he pur-
chased the plant.
While Mr. ShankS has always been
Republican, his leanings are strictly
Progressive. He was the leading spirit
in the Fusion cause in the recent mu-
nicipal election in Elmira, and helped TO
carry the allied non partisan forces to
victory against almost overwhelming
odds. All parties concede him to be
clean, broad minded and four-square.
1t is understood among those on the
inside that neither Dwight nor Fassett
will be in the running at the coming
election. 1t is said that Dwight will de-
vote himself 10 State affairs ard conf
IDENTIFY expects to place Republican in
the Governors chair next fall. Repub-
llcan leaders feel certain that the next
Congressman from this district will be
OF their political faith, owing to the i'm
parchment of VIM. Sulzer and the con-
sequent agitation against Tammany.
Mr.. Shanks seems entitled to the fruit
OF the plum tree, and it is whispered
that MS old Washington friends would
"eicome MIN In Congressional halls.

Former President Speaks
on Present Reforms at

ment to Business" former President VIII
liam Howard Taft, professor at Yale uni
versity, today delivered the principal ad-
dress at the dedication of the new home
of the Chamber of Commerce of this city.
''The reformers apparently ignore the
necessity for economy and efficiency In
the administration of public affairs said
the former President. "These supposed re-
formers are SO radical that the fear of
many is that the extreme will be reached
which will destroy the permanence of pop
ular government and also individual lib
critics"
Mr.. Taft praised the antitrust laws OF
the country. vocing the hope that the
business men responsible for the conduct
of large corporations would be compelled
so 10 operate their business that they
would not only cheaper the product but
also treat their rivals fairly
In speaking of the initiative, referendum
and recall, Mr. Taft said:
THE duties which the people must per-
form to make the new machinery of the
initiative, the referendum and the recall
effective are three times that necessary

that case during the next few days. The
sudden appearance in Birmingham yes
teIday of e. w. Startling, chief of the
Southern Express company special agents,
gave rise to the report that the case
was nearing an end. Mr.. Startling was
beseiged with reporters yesterday for
some statement about the case, but de-
clired to talk He would not intimate
that the case was even near solution, but
was apparently satisfied at the situation.
1t will be recalled that the fast train
due here at o'clock a. M was held up
rear Hattiesburg, the car dynamited and
a considerable amount of money taken.
The hod-up men are said to have subse-
quently operated at Boyles on the Louis
Vile and Nashville No. and on other
trains in this immediate territory. The
special agents have since that time been
lat work on the case without apparent
success. At this time, however, 1t is be-
lieved that the mystery is about to be
cleared up and in local railroad circles
the climax is awaited with considerable
interest
