SAYS SENATOR SENT
LETTER TO TOM CAT
Declares Mr.. Wadsworth Ignored
Woman Writer Until Pets
Name Was Signed.

Women who are going to lead the fight
against the reelection of Senator James
w. Wadsworth, Jr, yesterday told with
considerable glee the story of how the
senior Senator from this State ignored
two letters written by a woman profes-
sor in Vassar but replied with surprising
promptness to one signed with the name
of her tom cat.
The incident was brought out by Mrs
Charles l.. Tiffany. Manhattan Borough

Of Women Voters which was holding ar

ponent of long standing. did not represent
the women of this State. nor the voter.
as a whole, she urged that they try tC
commit Senator Wadsworth to a pro
gramme. She also suggested that theS
prepare more searching questionnaires
for all future candidates.
Here is a true story that proves tina
Senator Wadsworth does not represen

or political economy at Vassar recent,
wrote to Senator Wadsworth asking hin
to state his attitude on the League O.
Nations. She waited long time and, re
ceiving no reply, wrote him another letter
with the same questions.
Getting no answer to this letter she
wrote him a third and signed the nam,
of her tom cat-we'll say it was Thoma.
Davis. And in three days she received
nice long letter from Senator Wadswortl
telling all about his stand on the Leagu,
of Nations.
The way to get our Representatives [,
