Girl Elected Member
OF State Assembly

\ FEMININE version OF Horatio
1 Alger's boy heroes is given in
the story Of Myrtle Cain, q tele-
phone operator who became a repre-
sentative in the state assembly OF
Minnesota. She is only twenty-five
years old and is probably the young
est woman legislator in the world.
Miss Cain was particularly ener-
getic in her efforts to interest the
house in the Minnesota equal-rights
bill. which. however. failed to pass
this session. She introduced the bill
into the state assembly and was as
sisted in sponsoring 1t by Representa-
tives Frank Starkey, president of the
Trades and Labor Assembly of ST. Paul;
Otto Nellomoe. farmer Labor repre-
sentative, who has also introduced in
the legislature bill for an eight
hour day for persons" S. Z. Stock
well, leader in the legislature elected
on the farmer-labor ticket; L. A.
Barnes. c. NJ. Dendixen. progressive
republican. and Herman Berg, pro-
gressive farmer.
Miss Anita Pollitzer of the head
quarters OF the National woman's
Party. has just returned to Washing
ton from a western tour and, having
seen Miss Cain frequently while in
Minneapolis. has some very interest
ing information to give about this
young representative. who is only just
past the 1apper age.
Miss Cain is very vigorous type
of girl" said Miss Pollitzer. "She
is suggestive of the youth movement
and its ideals in everything that she
says and does. She has won the re-
spect of all the other members of the
legislature by her Willingness to work
she believes whole heartedly. She is
a blond with bobbed hair and huge
blue eyes. She is very proud Of her
Irish blood and Is In favor Of the
She impresses you particularly with
her wholeSomeness, her wide-awake
attitude Of investigation and her lack
of fear to say what she thinks.
incidentally, Miss Cain is a cham
pion swimmer and is interested in
many other sports and girlish occu-
pations. She first attracted atten-
ton when she led a strike among
the telephone girls of her native city,
Minneapolis. and won. She was only

helped her In her race for the legis-
lauve position: 1t was the women of
Minneapolis who urged her to run for
this office. and 1t was the women who
did much to back her in her cam
paign.
However. Miss Cain told me that
she was elected from what is gen
orally recognized as the toughest"
district of them all and the last dis
trict ever suspected Of electing
woman to office. Miss Cain claims
that it was personal contact house

planned her views in every home in
that district that won her place in
the assembly"

Chairman Hammond said yesterday ir

a situation had developed where 1t
could take a hand with some hope
of being able to assist in a settle

Former Vice President Marshall. q
member of the commission, said yester-
day that consideration of anthracite
problems had proceeded far enough to
make it highly desirable that some
person mewhere should tell us how
or the Congress of the United States
could establish a reasonable royalty
scale for anthracite mining" Own

In its inquiry into anthracite, Mr..
Marshall added. the commission had

wage commensurate to American
standards of living. and the third the

Smith and his assistant lifted hiea
into the wagon. While the smalleP
tramps of dogland jumped about and
barked at the passing crowds through
the iron bars OF the pound wagon, the
homeless st. Bernard was content TO
relieve his weary legs of the heavy
burden they had carried.
= When newspaper photographers
came to place him in the spotlight of
notoriety, the proud st. Bernard stood
erect for a moment. but when the joe
was over. he seemed glad to SLOUGH
back on the ground.
Poundma ster Smith said that IL the
dogs legs were stronger some one
would be glad to claim him. But In
his present condition he probably will
have to remain at the pound until the
cost of feeding him makes IL neces-
