romantic sense, they do not under
stand the psychology OF women.
They forget that women are more
conscientious than men, and that
this quality of the feminine mind
would prevent their voting for a
candidate out of love for the pict-
uresque. AS far as nominating SOL
diers is concerned, l. believe that a
man who has been through the dis
cipline of army training, who has
offered himself freely for whatever
the country might ask of him, comes
back to civilian life a finer, broader
man for his experience. 1t stands
to reason that he will be better
equipped, by reason of all this
mental and physical discipline, for
filling any Office in the gift of the
people, provided, of course, that he
has the natural qualifications to be

Mrs. Julia L. Sanders, Demo-
cratic leader of the 18th Assembly
District, sympathizes with the re-
turned soldier and expresses it this
way:

wv nth the coveted plurality
" swaying about at the mercy
of both the soldier element
and the new, not always to be
counted on, women voters, it is hard
~ - cause for wonderment that the
political leaders are spending hectic
days. Will the returned hero make
a strong bid for votes with the two
new groups? There are some rea-
sons to believe that the political
caterers think he would be irresisti-
be to the ladies, at least, if not so
surely to his soldier brothers.
A number of women were inter-
viewed recently on this subject,
women who in the minds of Assem-
bly, district generalship are sup
posed to lead their sisters. Many
of them presumed Immediately that
some one wanted to find out how they
stood on the candidacy of Represent
tative La Guardia for the presidency
of the Board of Aldermen and said
they "didn't care to be quoted"
When it was explained that the
question was being popped academi-
cally only they became more talk
alive. 1t then developed that the
soldier, just because he is a soldier,
means more to the debutante than
to the seasoned Vintage 1879
woman politician.
The majority Of these women de-
handed qualifications" The uni
form was all right, they said, and
surely it was deserving of all posi-
bic opportunities, but there ought to
be brains under the khaki cap.
There were several women who were
for the soldier, special qualifications
or no special qualifications, and in
direct contrast to these opinions was
that Of one outstanding woman who
said that she thought soldier candi-
dates seldom measured up.
The opinions divide themselves

mothers and wives and sisters of
other soldier boys. I think the pro-
fessional class among women and
the workers for suffrage will be more
wary of the picturesque and look
firss of all for the necessary qualifi-
cations in the candidate"
Soldiers Record
An Asset
Mrs. M. l.. Ogan, Republican
leader of the 22d Assembly Dis
trict, summed up her views by say
ing:
Things being equal, the prefer
ence should be given the soldier,
out of gratitude, but things must
be equal"
Only one woman leader out of
those interviewed gave it as her
Judgment that the candidacy of the
ex-soldier should be unquestioning-
y supported. This was Mrs. Ella
Hastings, Democratic leader of the
9Th Assembly District, who did not
think the subject very important,
out finally said:
1T goes without saying that the

necessarily qualify a man to serve
the public in Office, but perhaps we
owe it to those splendid men who
have given up so much for the coun-
try, and who are qualified, to try
to make up to them in some measure
what they have missed of oppor-
tunity. My husband, brother and
four members of my family served in
France, so it is natural for me to
feel this way"
Mrs. William Wilson, Republican
leader of the 9Th Assembly District,
gave this as her opinion:
"The soldier will not make any
better official than the civilian, but
he will make a strong appeal to the

into three groups-first, those who
insist on qualifications as the prin-
cipal requisites; second, those who
favor the war hero when one can
be found who has the necessary
qualifications; third, those who favor
the soldier on general principles. A
very small group were either too in
different or too uniformed on the
subject to express any opinion.
Of the first group, Mrs. Elizabeth
Cudmore, Republican leader of the
18th Assembly District, speaking
of the average soldier aspirant and
the necessity of finding the right
man for the right place, said:
"They do not measure up, except
in rare cases. Of course, if candi-
date was great man before he went
away that is a different thing, or if
he has legitimate reasons for enter
ing public life, such as heritage
of craftsmanship, or the right sort
of pre-war training and experience

is depended on to fit him for office,

American Legion will show how
much they count for in COM
munity is the help that they have
planned to give to the families Of
service men and to the men them
selves who are without jobs. An
example of this is the organization
of the 106th Infantry Post A well
fare committee was appointed al
most as soon as the post was organ
ICED. Experts in various lines were
placed on the committee whose
specialized knowledge will be at the
service of the men and their
families.

Of their women folks, say some of
the men most interested in the
prospects of the legion.
An example of the constructive
measures that may be expected
from the legion is the plan Of the
106th Infantry post for voca-
tional bill for the children of men
killed in the war. Thomas f. Ward,
il, formerly lieutenant in the
106th infantry, is president of the
post and will bring the measure up

Looking More at the Man
And Less at the Uniform

Mrs. Laura B. Prisk, Republican
leader of the 10th Assembly Dis
trict, said:
81 believe there is no doubt that
the men who have actually been
through the fire Of war have come
back with larger thoughts and
higher ideals. And there are armies
of them-not necessarily the ones
who have been decorated or who
have held high places. but often
men who have served humbly.
Among these men we ought to be
able to find individuals who would
have all the necessary equipment
to serve the country nobly Under
stand me, l do not want to see any
man put in place of great respon-
sibility to his fellowmen simply
because he has worn a uniform.
There have been too many in
stances Of abuse of power in our
own American army for anv con-

getting this measure through Con-
gress."
No False Discrimination
In Post

The members of the 1O6th Infan-
try Post are men from all branches
of the service. They do not d;scrim-
mate in their rules against the
men who did not go overseas for
service, as many of the posts have.
They realize that many Of the men
whose hearts were in the war were
kept in this country for the entire
period.
The nucleus of this post was a
few men from the 23d and 14th
National Guard Infantry. Many
Of them saw service on the border
before this country entered the
world war. These regiments were
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-08-31

flag parades; arranging fates fol
women workers.
Few of the members Of the
Legion themselves have yet shown
political tendencies. They express
themselves as not especially taker
with the idea Of soldier candidates
simply because they are soldiers.
At the same time they are confident
that plenty of the men who were in
the army are capable and would
make splendid public officeholders.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-08-31
Trailing the Soldiers
Liberty Bonds

Another problem which has been
taken up by the post is that of the
Liberty Bonds which have been
paid for on the instalment plan by
soldiers and never received. For
many of these bonds the monthly or
quarterly instalments were taken
out of the mems pay at the source.
Some of the men who were killed in
France left no record of the bonds
they had bought and their families
knew nothing of them. So there
is little likelihood of these being
traced. However, there are MANY
men who have paid for their bonds
and have receipts, who have not re-
celved them. 1t is the opinion of
Mr.. Ehrenberg that thousands of
dollars may be tied up in this way.
He says that he has not vet received
the pondS ne bought IN the first loan
The welfare committee of the
organization looks out for its men,
bers who need jobs. Whenever a
man has job for which he needs a
worker he notifies the committee
that he can use a man. The COM
mlttee announces at its bi-monthly
meeting that there are jobs in their
hands for steam filters, clerks or
truck drivers. The men fitted for
the jobs announced can report to
the committee and meet the men
who need them. Many returned
soldiers have been placed in this
way.

And relative to the nineteenth

Remember Men Who
Went West"

The bill, which will probably 20
through many changes before it is
brought up as an issue, will provide
for the education of the children
of men killed in the service of the
country during the world war. 1t
will be modelled after the measure
for the vocational training of SOL
diers manned in the service.
"The people of the country have
been so busy doing things for the
returning soldiers that they have
forgotten the men who made the
supreme sacrifice" said Mr.. Ward
in discussing the plan for support
ing the bill providing education for
soldiers children.
But we who fought side by side
| with many of the men who went
| west in the great struggle have
not forgotten them. The only
thing we can do for those men is
to look out for their families. The
doughboy who saw trench life and
lost his best buddy hasn't much
sympathy with tombstone memo
rails. Certainly he appreciates the
spirit inspiring them, but the
futility, the inadequacy of such
tokens impresses any man who saw
active service. If you want to show
your appreciation to a returning
soldier for his service to you and
the country help get him back into
a job; if you want to express your
self toward those who did not re-
turn do something for the loved
oles they left here with you"
Hardships Suffered
BY Families
Mr. ward told of several IN
stances i'll his own regiment where
the families of men who were killed
IN the service stood facing hard
ship and it would be impossible for

Killed to grow up with the adyan-
tages their fathers would have
given them. One case was that of
