LET TIERS TO
The EDITOR
WOMAN CANDIDATES

FAIRMoNT. July 14.-lEditor.
The West Virginian)-l read with
appreciation your editorial tcn
women candidates a few days ago
1 have wanted to thank you ever
since but until now have been too
busy to write. Not everyone takes
your view in the matter. Since be-
coming a candidate 1 have heard
four stock arguments against wo-
ment being candidates or playing
any part in politics whatsoever.
The argument runs something like
this: First: 1T is not woman's
job" they say.
During the World War I saw wo-
men don overalls and work in rail
road yards. climbing ladders,
cleaning engines sweeping tracks
and such work and remain Just as
pure and good as they had been
before. Probably part Of them did
not remain as wholesome as be-
fore, but the fault was in the We
man not in the job.
During this time the work Of the
various drives was left to the
women and we saw that each and
every one went over the top On
one OCCASION the Red Cross call
ed me on the phone, asking that
our women do certain piece of
work the next day. The work
seemed so immense first said,
