POLITICS IN TEXAS

A Republican congressman was
elected from Texas two years ago IN
the district which includes the city
OF San Antonio. II was the first tine
that Texas ever sent a Republican to
Washington, but the most surprising
tn M about It Is that the Republican
was rec ccted this year in spite OF
the Democratic drift in most OF the
country.
Luther u. Johnson, owner of the
Randolph Herald and News, Is spend
ing the winter In San Antonio with
his daughter. because of her frail
health and writes home to his paper
a short story of the political cam
paign in the San Antonio district
where contests get hotter and more
personal than they ever do in Yer
mont. His account Is as follows:
l. This Congressional district is the
only one in Texas, and one of the
relatively few in the ent re South,
that has been represented at Wash

lican. Due TO a large population ele'

CHICAGO. June 24.-The success Of
Mrs. Peter Olesen in the democratic
senatorial primaries in Minnesota has
brought acutely to the front the ques-
ton of what married women in politics
will do with their husbands when they
ieave home to take up the duties of
office at state or national capital.
The headquarters Of the various
woman organizations in this city are
in some ething of quandary. AL
ready they have been notified by sew
eral women prominent in politics that
their activities cannot extend to run
ming for Offices which would. take
them from home.
Members of the National Woman's
Party declared today that it was
possible in many states for man
legally to prevent his wife from run
ming for political office if success
required her absence from home. In
these states, they say, a man is given
the choice Of domicile. and should a
wife refuse to comply with his wishes
in this respect. the law regards her
action as desertion and he may sue
for divorce.
Mrs. Olesen seems fortunate in that
