Il am not a woman's candidate,
says Miss DAILY. II am working for
the state, and both men and wom-
en- alike will benefit by the fun
damental reforms of our platform.
Lower taxes, credit, n stabilized
prices for farm products are what
farmers and their families mos
need"
Other planks in the platform are
not strictly of farm interest. Miss
DAILY says that she strongly believes
in amnesty for political prisoners,
and in religious liberty, freedom
of speech, of the press. and of as
semblage." She demands the I'M
mediate abolition of all Pie Coun-
ter Jobs" in state government, so
that taxpayers may be relieved of an
unnecessary burden.
Disarmament is advocated in a
paragraph which says:
"Militarism is a curse from which
the whole world seeks to free itself.
We, therefore, earnestly oppose any
system of compulsory military train
ing and favor immediate total dis
armament with a referendum vote
before any declaration of war, ex-
cept in cases of invasion by armed
enemies"
Women candidates for all sorts of
public Offices are no longer a Curl
osity, but people still find the wom-
an politician an interesting study.
Miss Daily is an attractive young
woman of fresh coloring and pleas
ant blue eyes. She is an outdoor
type, though not of a heavy build.
Out in her state she has been
called the Joan of Arc of South Da-
kota because she has given herself
so completely to the work OF i'm
proving the farmers lot.
With b. A. and NJ. A. degrees from
the University of Minnesota and di-
plomas from the Emerson College of
Ordtory at Boston, she came TO the
state normal school of South Da-
Eota to teach public speaking.
She responded intensely to the un-
necessary hardships of life about
her, to the cry of undernourisned
children echoing through unkempt
day coaches as they numbered slowly
over the South Dakota plains, the
knowledge that mothers. already too
heavily burdened with care, respon-
sibility. and endless work. must 90
down into the Valley of Death alone,
miles from any medical assistance,
in order that our state, needless OF
their needs, might be enriched by
the coming of new life; the dearth
of good homes among our workers;
the lack of educational opportuni.
ties for our rural children"
She became interested in the aims
of the Non-Partisan League, and
when she was nominated by the
league for superintendent of public
instruction of the state she gave vi
her salary and teaching to devote
all of her time to campaign work
The league was not strong enough
TO elect its candidates. AT one time
it was proclaimed a Corpse. but
Miss DAILY affirms that it has come
back. and that the next election will
show what a lively corpse it really is
Candidate Thoroughly Feminine
The first woman nominee for gov
ernor is a feminine person. Wit
all her terse explanations of credi
and taxation problems. she gives I
feminine picture of the governor
job.
Governing a state is housekeep
ing on a large scale" she say "An,
a woman is suited to such work be
cause the instructive tendency o
womanhood is good housekeeping
The Housekeeping of state include
all phases of human welfare-Car

above property rights. The govern

women is needed in politics today.
II like to think" she addei
with a smile. that the farmers hav
been the first to express their belle
