Hundreds Of Letters From

Washington, July 26.-(Spccial)--
From friends of Representative Jean
nctte Rankin who are known to enjoy
her confidence, the report that she is
to be a candidate for United States
senator at the next year elections has
been confirmed.
Plans for her candidacy now are be-
ing formulated with great care. They
include all planks upon which Miss
Rankin's friends are confident she will
be able to bring her campaign to IA
successful issue at the polls. Her
friends point out that Miss Rankin
will not need a high priced polltica.
organization to effect this result.
Her Record Enough.
Miss Rankin can be elected to the
senatorship on her record" is their
belief.
A review of her achievements in the
lower house Of congress- it is believed,
has not decreased her strength among
the women voters and, in fact, all
women Of the nation. Indeed her
strength with this group of the popu-
lation has greatly developed during the
weeks she has sat In this most impor-
tant session of the house of repre-
sentatives.
Letters Urge Candidacy.
This increased strength is attested,
say her friends, by the thousands OF
letters she has received from women
praising her work. The letters have
come not only from Montana, her ma :
tive state, but from all sections of tho
country. And the letters do more than
praise her.
They have suggested to her to con-
slider that next year will be a spe-
cially favorable time to launch her
prospective senatorial candidacy. The
unrest of labor and social life the let :
ters declare, will give her added ad-
vantage because of her well known
attitude for the working men and
women of the country. On that ac-
count 1t Is believed that she would be
the strongest possible candidate for
