still glory IN war"
When Mrs. Huck was questioned
about war she made an answer, the
honesty OF which Is an excellent ex-
ample to others. 1t was:
My knowledge of the English
language is insufficient to speak upon
this question. The only way l can
express my views upon this will be

sWered:
The greatest guaranty against
war is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF the
hears as well as of the mind. This
education, of course, includes the un-
derstanding of other nations points
of view. Our international con-
crosses are the great roads to this
end"

DREVTOUS to Mrs. Huck's nominal
tIon a friend commented upon
the fact that IL took a great deal of
courage to enter a campaign against
seven well known men. Mrs. Huck' s
answer, a typical one. was:
Il will admit that il did take some
courage to enter the campaign, but,
had l been lacking in courage to the
extent of fearing a campaign and the
possibility of defeat, I certainly would
never have the courage to stand in
Congress for what I believe is right"
AS you sit in Mrs. FIuck's Office and
talk with her you cannot help but
notice a little white metallic shield
on which were the words. For a Ref

organization. composed OF former
service men who are endeavoring to
see that we participate in no foreign
wars unless the matter Is first APP
proved by the direct vote OF the poo
pie AS Mrs lIuck explained, If we
were attacked We would be in war
automatically. The referendum. the
direct -vote proposition. would apply
only to sending soldiers out of the
country for foreign war.
Previous to Mrs. Huck's coming
over from the Capitol to her Office
the writer had an opportunity to chat

and their labors furnish a splendid
example Of efficient team work. Some
OF Mrs. Huck's characteristics, &C.
cording TO her husband, are:
''She Is most careful about making
appointments and when she makes
them she keeps them. She insists on
some one being in the office all the
time, claiming that it is the right of
every constituent 10 have some one
at the Office TO receive him. We were
married IN 1904. She IS sincerity IT.
self. She believes IN supporting the
best candidate. whether il be man or
woman. She stands for her country
rather than for her sex. She never
raised an objection about going to
the places that my work called me.
She knows no fear. does not tremble
under criticism. and the fact that she
got about a million votes shows, to
som, extent at least. that the people
have confidence in her"
She Is a womanly woman and is
tolerant. but does not believe that 1t
is essential to woman's success in
politics that she wear knickerbockers
and chew tobacco. She feels deeply
upon the subject OF war. and finds
that there are thousands In this
country who do not believe in max

youth OF the country.
