Campaigned for Lister
Mrs. Walsh first appearance as an
active campaigner was during the re.
! cent election in Washington. She
aided in no small way in securing tho
election of Ernest Lister, the new
Democratic governor of that State.
Mrs. Walsh's appointment as n mem
her of the Democratic national ad-
visory committee was made upon rec
ommendation of Hugh C. Wallace,
wealthy resident of Washington, life
long Democrat and one of the treasur-
ers of the Wilson campaign fund.
But, a Home" Woman.
Mrs. Walsh, moderately tall, not too
slender, with black hair, her face
aglow with the bloom of youth, has
been a home woman for seventeen
years. In all that time she has been
so busy about her own home affairs
that she has not taken time even to
have her picture taken.
When duty called her into politics
last year she fought the battle and
when the fight was won she started
with her husband for Hawaii. The
worries and cares of an immense
wholesale business in Tacoma, public
duties and hard work had undermined
: the health of Mr.. Walsh. His nerves
were gone and in an invalid IS cot he
was taken to San Francisco. Mrs
: Walsh was about to give up the jour
ney there but she held her courage
3 and brought her husband to Honolulu
: Since then she has been his only nurs,
= and constant companion. They hav,
| lived out of doors, along the beach ant
: in the hills until she has been rewarded
{ by witnessing his rapid return t,
g health and strength. Yesterday as h
( listened to Mrs. Walsh recount he
. political experience he was feeling bet
n ter than he had for years, ready to g
). back once more and become an activ
q factor in the development of what h
proudly says is one of the creates
cities in one of the great States i
all the Union, Tacoma, Washington.
h "And l owe it all to Mrs. Walsh,
: he said. And her smile of apprecia
s. ton showed that politics and publ
e life have not calloused the finer quail
g ties of good woman and kind an
q faithful wife.
IT Swamped With Lsettsrs.
J When she left Tacoma, few day
g after the recent election, Mrs. Walls
v left instructions to have the famil
st mail forwarded to Honolulu. She Ii
= tie thought of the trouble she ha
e. started for herself. The letters bega
IS arriving soon after she got here lat
d last November. Until a few weel
n. ago the correspondence piled up unit
II about 1000 letters were stacked in e
2. cry available corner of the Walsh co
a tage. Then she sent word to hay
a. only such mail as is addressed to h,
husband forwarded here. With the c,
ception of personal correspondent
nearly every letter she receives is fro
