APOLTTICAL
Tea and Coffee Flow in For
mer Hudson Street BarroOm
for Women Voters.
MANY WIVES PRESENT
Mrs. La Guardia Plays Part in
Entertainment of the
Suffragists.

The firm Of Rembaugh, Byers and
Mandigo. Inc, G. o. p, presented Ten
Nights in a Barroom" yesterday after
noon in the former saloon at 551 Hud-
son street with an all wife cast. The
matinee had been widely advertised and
was attended by many women voters OF
the neighborhood and the entire child
population of the lower West Side.
Tea and coffee flowed as beer and
whiskey did in the old days before
woman suffrage, and william H. Ander-
son got on the job and tho general
opinion was that the object of the oc-
casion, TO wit the election Of Miss Ber-
tina Rembaugh TO the office Of municipal
Judge in the First District. was all
but attained and needed but the for
mality Of November to complete It,
Miss Rembaugh of course was the
star. Persons who beheld this formerly
somewhat austere and reserved woman
lawyer standing jauntily with one 100.
on the brass rail, leaning easily against
the flag draped bar and talking win d
pleased smile to the rows OF Irish ana
italian mothers and babies before her
about how they ought to vote for her
and get their husbands to do so re-
f.ected that politics certainly does edu-
cate women. Campaign Manager MISS
FLANAGAN admitted that when the matt
nee ended the star requested to be led
to a nice quiet grave, but she held out
blithely till the last curtain.
Mrs, La Guardia Has Role.
Mrs. F. II. La Guardia, wife of the
Republican candidate for president or
the Board OF Alderman. also took
leading role, and for a few exciting
moments was the heroine of MOB
scene which nearly Drought the ponce
reserves to the Rembaugh headquarters.
Mrs. La Guarla. being as she con-
fessed new to Iolitics, made the mis-
take of opening the door and throwing
some candy to the clamoring children
outside--not, she said, with any politi-
cal purpose but because she hated to
see them looking so hungry. Instantly
the mysterious wireless telegraphy OF
the region was in motion. and sixty
children who had been battering at the
entrance became with miraculous quick
ness a multitude that filled the street.
The blonde and slender Mrs. La Guardia
disappeared completely in swirl Of
youngsters. and no one knows how the
scene would have ended il Miss Char
lotte Rudyard hadn't rushed to the res
cue.
Miss Rudyard and her husband. whose
name isn't Rudyard but something else,
the way those things are in Greenwich
Village, have been long on the stan of
the Netp Republic and know how to deal
with the masses. With wide swooping
motions OF her arms she gathered up a
few dozens of the children who had
taken the first line trenches and threw
them out over the regiments in the sec
ond line.
Then she banged the door shut and
locked 1t, but that taste OF G. Q. p. candy
was to the beseiging hordes what one
taste OF blood is to a young tiger, and
every Mrs. Voter who tried to get into
551 Hudson street thereafter had to
wade through a sea OF children, while
the Rembaugh campaign workers served
tea with one hand and necessarily threw
children out with the other.
Come Early and Stay Long.
The women of the district came early
and stayed long. Whether II was the
agreeable experience of having a party
in the place where doubtless some OF
their menfolk had in former times spent
their evenings and pay envelopes or
whether It was true Republican devo-
ton, or the lure of the cakes and tea on
the decorated bar-anyhow, they re-
sponded cordially to the invitations Of
the Rembaugh campaign committee.
Mrs. Charles f. Knoblauch was one of
those who poured tea. and others were
Mrs. Olive Stott Gabriel. Mrs Leslie I
Tompkins and Nine. Cornelli. Mrs.
