RuCker For Congress.

The Democrat feels that it is its
duty to endorse the candidacy of
Hon. W. W Rucker for re election
TO Congress from this district, re-
gardless of the fact that mis- oppo-
nent resides in this county 1t is the
desire of President Wilson that the
present, congressman who have
shown themselves loyal to the ad-
ministration and to war legislation
be returned, for the purpose of con-
tinuing the business methods adopt
ed for the successful prosecution of
Our War" Congress plays a very
important part in the war. and
New Congress" would very materi-
ally retard its progress. Judge
Rucker has been extremely loyal to
the administration and his patriotic
record has not been assailed All
congressman are to be elected this
year and we believe it should not be
new congress. except only in IN
stances of failure to be in harmony
with the war program. This is not
proper time for a change. Mr..
Lozier who was Judge Fuckers op-
ponent two years ago and who was
intending to make the race this
time, saw the conditions and refus-
ed to be a candidate, giving as his
reason therefor, that it was not the
proper time to satisfy personal am
bition.

Gives Her Home
For Y. w. C.. A.

Mrs. Henry P. Dawson, whose hus-
band left J. P. Morgan G. Co. to head
the Red Cross War Council, has given
up her home at II West Fifty-first
Street for use by the Young Woman's
Christian Association as a hostess
house. Such alterations as were neces-
sary have been made and the house
warming will take place tomorrow af-
ternoon, when there will be reception
IN the hostess house
Already many reservations have been
made by women whose relatives are
with some military unit in New York
or Its immediate vicinity. The first
guest of the hostess house will be a
woman whose son, soldier in the
Camp Upton division, is now in a hos
pital here.
About twenty guests can be ac-
commodated in the house at present.
but it is believed that, when the CON
venlence of such a stopping place is
generally recognized, arrangements
VIII have to be made to care for more
visitors, either in the Dawson house
or elsewhere.
Prices have been fixed at a level
which, it is believed, will cover all ex
penses, and women who are hastily
summoned to New York to bid goodby
to some soldier relative or to watch by
his bedside in some hospital will be
able to get large, light, comfortable
rooms in the central part of the city
for from rs cents to $125 a day.
The house also will be rendezvous
