HON. BOILING II. HANDY

Lieutenant Boiling II. Handy, of
Bristol, the nominee of the Demo-
Gratis of the Ninth District for Con-
gress, against Congressman Slcmp,
who will be, supposedly, the nominee
of the Republicans, to succeed him
self, is not well known in this immed-
late vicinity, but seems to be we'll
known in other parts of the district.
He is son of Rev. DR.. Handy, a
Presiding Elder, once living in this
town. His wife is daughter of the
late DR.. Geo. Ben Johnson, of Rich
mond, so we are informed. Mr.. Handy
served in the world war, where he
won distinction. He is said to be q
brilliant, rising young lawyer. The
Bristol Courier has an extended ar
ticle about the nominee, which we
copy in this issue of this paper for
the information of our readers.
Mr.. Handy stands square on the
League of Nations, as endorsed by
Gov. Cox, the nominee for President.

WOMEN IN POLITICS-EpOCU

ed Tor a moment. The mothers and
maidens of America may be depend-
ed upon in their new spheres to nut
heart as well as conscience into their
new duties and responsibilities.
Some things the women voters NAV
be confidently expected not to do
One of these will be not to support

they will decline to vote at all They
will, of course, steer clear of any
semblance of fanaticism. They NAV
be expected to bring to bear clear
heads and sound judgments upon
questions OF state which they may be
called upon to decide. That they will
be influenced to an extent by their
husbands and leaders. goes without
saying, but it is unbelievable that
they will be led by cliques or political
rings, either of their own forming or
formed and organized by their hus-
bands and leaders. The women hold
the balance of power in this section.
Their votes should be untrammelled
and uninfluenced unduly by either
political party. If they become PARTS
ians, and are led by the noses by un-
scrupulous partisans, nothing what
soever will have been gained by their
entrance into politics But, if they
are independent and informed their
influence must be felt for good.
There are several questions now
before the people upon which it is
no hazard to predict how the women
Will vote who vote at all. One is the
question of good roads, another the
school question, and another the
League of Nations and the treaty tc
prevent wars. On these matters the
women stand four square. PARTY OF
no party, the women are for these
great measures. On the question OF
Prohibition they are, of course unit
ed. But this is not an issue in this
campaign, as the question has beer
settled by constitutional amendment
and cannot be altered except by the
people themselves. 1t is hoped that
this question will not be brought for
ward in the present campaign. Il
would only confuse matters, ant
draw attention from other great ane
leading measures.
OF course the women of Tazewel

Democrats Vote
Against Wilson
OnArnlyPIan

Washington, D. C.. Feb. 10.-Demo-
Gratis OF the house were on record to-
day as opposed to universal military
training despite an appeal from
president Wilson that they refrain
from declaring themselves on the is
sue until the Democratic national
convention in June.
The action was taken at the party
caucus last night when the house
Democrats came out lO6 TO II against
any measure providing for universal
compulsory military service or train
ing. Earlier in the session the Demo
Gratis fatty rejected the presidents
appeal by voting IS to 81 against a
proposal that action on the measure
be deferred
Explaining their action at the eau
Gus, several Democrats declared that
they felt they knew the sentiment
Of the country on military training
better than either the president or
their leaders.
Though record votes were taken in
the caucus these were not made pub
lie The Il, however, who voted
against the declaration Of the stand
OF the house Democrats were under
stood to have been: Representatives
Bee, Texas; Caldwell. New York;

There was a wide difference Of
opinion today among senators and
representatives as 10 the probable
effect Of the action OF the house
Democrats last night in voting dis
approval Of the enactment OF univer-
sal military training legislation by
this congress.
Chairman Wadsworth. OF the senate
military committee, announced that
the vote OF the Democrats would not
deter him from pressing the army re-
organization bill reported by his COM
mittee. He added that he was conf
dent that when congress and the pub
lie came to understand the bill there
would be a very different view Of it."
Chairman Kahn, Of the house mill

feature and the whole question viii

house Whether army reorganization
