Interesting Side Lights.
The nomination Of several OF
these women and their active cam
paigns for their seats furnish some
very interesting political side lights.
For instance, Mrs. Winifred Mason
Huck, who is the republican nom
inee for representative at large
from Illinois, is the candidate TO
fill the vacancy caused by the
death Of her father, Representative
William f. Mason. 1t is considered
practically certain that she will be
elected. Her tenure of office, how
ever, would be short because her
fathers term expires on March 4
next. Nevertheless, Mrs. Huck
would be called to Washington on
November 90, when President
Harding summons congress to pass
the ship subsidy bill, certain es-
sential strike legislation and some
new transportation laws, before
the short session, which begins in
December, attempts to keep the
appropriation bills down to the
budget limits.
Another Interesting Fight.
Another very interesting fight Is
in the Fifth North Carolina dis
trict, where Mrs. Patterson wants
the seat in the house now held by
Representative Stedman, who Is
the only Confederate soldier in
congress. Mrs. Patterson is not
only an active fighter for women'S
rights but is an aggressive one and
has announced on the stump that
If she is elected she will seek to
make women eligible to appoint
ments in the United States consular
service. Her chance for election
is said to be about fifty-fifty with
that of her rival.
Mrs. Adelina Otero-Warren, of
New Mexico, is the~ only woman
Congress candidate who beat in the
primaries a present member of
congress. He is Representative
Nestor Montoya and he was only
able to poll " votes in the nom
mating convention against 446 u
polled by his feminine rival. Mrs.
Warren has been superintendent Of
schools in Santa Fe county for sew
eral years and as such insisted that
English be the only language
taught, although between sixty and
seventy per cent of the residents OF
that county speak Spanish or a
Mexican patois in their homes.
Suffragists here in Washington
regret keenly that Mrs. w. H. Eel
ton, Of Georgia, will not be sworn
in as a Senator. She was appointed
by Governor Hardwick to the va
cancy created by the death of SEN
ator Tom Watson, but 1t is an
empty honor unless some extraor-
binary crisis arises that compels
the President to call congress in
special session before November Z.
Walter f. George, former justice
Of the state supreme court has
been overwhelmingly nominated
for Senator Watson's seat, and in
Georgia this is equivalent to an
election, although the democratic
convention did not meet until to-
day October 2S). in Macon, tc
confirm the primary returns.
Blow to Feminists.
The appointment of Mrs. FELTON,
as the first woman U. S. Senator
Cor Senatrix) was particularly
bitter blow to feminists of other
states because they resented the
fact that Georgia should have the
honor of having the first woman
Senator. This resentment was not
based on any antagonism to Mrs.
FELTON, personally-she is 81 years
