DEMOCRATS IN OHIO

DRY BATTLE SEEN

the Democratic nomination for the
Senate, the hopes of many women
throughout the country that at last
woman would be elected to and
serve in the Senate have gone
-glimmering. Even had she been
nominated, however, it is exceedingly
doubtful that Miss Allen would have
had a real chance against Senator
Willis in the general election. The
race would have been picturesque.
however with the feminist element
interjected. Some of Miss Aliens
friends during the recent campaign
sought to have Republican women
vote for Miss Allen in the Demo-
cratic primaries. But when atten-
ton was called to this pulicly Miss
Allen herself issued a statement de-
claring that only Democratic women
should vote in the Democratic pri-
mary.
Opposed Prohibition Resolution.
Senator Pomerene has made no def
mite statement regarding his stand
on the wet and dry laws. He was
opposed to the resolution proposing
the eighteenth amendment to the
Constitution while he was a member
of the Senate. This opposition led
to a fight being made against him
by the Anti Saloon League when he
ran for the Senate in 1922. Senator
Willis is so bone dry that whatever
Pomerene may say he will be regard
ed as wet when compared with his
opponent. Senator Pomerene also
incurred the enmity of the large part
of organized labor and defed it in

During the primary campaign this
year. Labor. the official organ of the
brotherhoods. was sent into Ohio by
thousands of copies, supporting Miss
Allen and opposing Pomerene.
Senator Pomerene made no attack
on Miss Allen, though her campaign
did not spare the former Senator. He
did not declare himself on the wet and
dry issue. His entrance into the race
for the nomination came late this
Spring. lie has been practicing law

President to help handle the Teapot

clair Miss Allen, on the other hand,
has been campaigning for nearly a
year with the senatorial nomination in
view. Her friends resented the
eleventh-hOur entrance of Pomerene
into the race. Before he cast his hat
in the ring Senator Pomerene con-
ferred with many prominent Demo
cratic leaders here and elsewhere. A
number of these leaders, it is under

that If Pomerene could win in Ohio.
he might prove the Moses needed to
lead the Democrats out of the political
wilderness in 1928.
There "ere few surprises in yes

tional significance except In Ohio.
Candidates ran true to their expected
form.

DOLLAR GODDESS"
EXPIRES, AGED 68
Miss Anna w. Williams, lib
erty" on Coin, Was
Retired Teacher.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Philadelphia, April 17.--AlIss Anna
w. Williams. retired public school
teacher, whose profile as the Goddess
of Liberty" is stamped on the silver
dollar, died at her home today. She
was 6S.
Miss Williams hip was broken last
December and she had been confined
TO her bed ever since. Death was due
to apoplexy. She had lived with her
niece, Miss Catherine c. Williams,
since her retirement in 1924.
Miss Williams was principal Of the
girls schooi at the house of refuge
here when she was chosen I'm 1873 TO
be the model for the goddess upon the
silver dollar. Her profile was consid
cred the most perfect that could be
found at the time.
Reluctant to Pose.
1t was with great difficulty. how
ever, that she was prevailed upon tc
give sittings to the artist. Only upon
condition that her identity should not
be revealed would Miss Williams con
sent to have her likeness stamped
upon the new silver dollar the Treas
ury had decided to mint.
For two years the incognito OF Miss
Liberty" the woman's face on the
dollar, remained a secret in the keep
ing of the Government and the artist
A Philadelphia newspaperman re
vealed that Miss Williams was the
silver dollar girl
Then came offers of stage engage
ments, all of which Miss Williams re
jected. She consented. for $50 a
month, to teach at the house OF
oh
the position of teacher of kindergar.
ten philosophy in the girls normal
school.
Friend Caused Choice.
Miss Williams was born in Philadel'
phia. Her mother was southerner,
the daughter of DR.. Arthur II. VIII
less of Maryland. His daughter mar
ried Henry Williams of Philadelphia
and removed with him to this city.
In 1875 George Morgan, an expert
designer and engIaver. was assigned
to the duty OF preparing the new de-
sign for a silver dollar that was to
be minted at Philadelphia. Thomas
Eakins, a Philadelphia artist, was a
friend Of both Mr.. Morgan and Miss
williams family, and he had been
thrown into contact with the young
girl often while she was an art stu
dent 1t was at Mr.. Eakins' suggestion
that Mr.. Morgan and Miss Williams
friends finally prevailed upon her TO
pose for the profile that was to go
upon the face of the new dollar.
The sittings took place at the home
OF Mr.. Eakins. in November. 1876.
II was some time later that the cap
with it's sheath was decided upon as
the ornamentation for the head.

ginning at the foot Of the Capitol and
carrying our building program up to
the Treasury Department, we shall
have to use some OF the ground north
of New York avenue in order to make
1t convenient to get from one depar'
ment to another.
II have no objection to prohibition
OF the purchase OF land north OF
Pennsylvania avenue, but I think it,
would be a mistake should we pro
hibit the acquisition of land north
Of New York Avenue"
Land Values Increased.
Senator SmOot said he also recalled
the plan considered 1G years ago, at
which time. he said, all OF the land on
the south side of Pennsylvania avenue
could have been obtained by the Gov
ernment for $50. 900 900. He estimated
1t would cost four or five times as
much today. Senator Bruce observed
that even so, it would be a small
matter.
Senator Overman thought a pro
vision should be written in the bill
providing that the buildings in Wash
ington be ornamental in character.
Senator Simmons also thought Il
should be stipulated in the bill that
the reference to standardized types Of
buildings should not apply to Wash
ington. Senator Mcclellan of Tennes-
see said he also was in accord with
the views of Senator Bruce. Senator
Fess, Republican. Of Ohio, joined fl
the debate regarding the desirability
of giving thought to the architectural
appearance of the Capital.
Another amendment which has beer
proposed by Senator Moses Of New
Hampshire, and which will he dis
posed of tomorrow. directs that part
OF the funds be used TO erect a build
ing for the United States Supreme
Court in accordance with sketches
prepared by the late Henry Bacon.
The Supreme Court is now quarterei
in the central portion of the Capitol
Building.
The public buildings measure has
passed the House and all indication
are that the Senate will act favot-
ably tomorrow. Senator Fernald's
committee has proposed several
amendments 10 the House languagc
and there are a number Of amend
nents 10 be acted on that werc 1Jir
forward by individual Senators. ~

approval.
Outside of the District Of Columb,l
the bill authorizes 1000 900 to con
plete buildings authorized by the ac-
of 1913 and 500, 100000 to provide
other new buildings throughout tho
country where the need IS mos
urgent
Senator Fernald assured the Sena-
Yesterday that no list has been con
piled showing where buildings will
be erected out of the 100000 900 lump
sum. and emphasized the point tha,
1t will be expended where officials cf
the Treasury and Post Office Depalj-
ments find an emergency exists.

ing the new departmental Office build
ings on q co-ordinated plan. not only
from the standpoint of architectural
improvement of the Capital, but also
for the convenience Of those who must
transact business with the govern
ment.
Senator Smith asserted that because
of a lack of correlation in erecting
Government buildings in the past
you have TO meander all around
town" to find them.
Apprehension was voiced by Sena-
tor simmons of North carolina that
departments which are in rented quar-
ters, such as the Department OF JUS
tice and the Interstate Commerce
Commission, might, under the pres
ent wording of the bill, decide to pur-
chase these rented buildings instead
Of erecting new buildings. He said
that question should be definitely set
tied in the bill.
In opening the debate Senator Bruce
answering a query from Senator over
man Of North Carolina, said he want.
ed to see the new buildings placed
along the south side of Pennsylvania
avenue between the Capitot ana the
Treasury. After recalling the orig
inal plan of L'Enfant and Gen. Wash
l0RIOn,
it was intended to have Mall 4OO
feet wide with a wide park on each
side of it and public buildings flank
ing those parks.
mo grander conception was ever
formed in the human brain, Senator
Bruce continued, "and experience has
shown that the resources OF this cOun-
try are ample for the fulfillment or
that plan. And yet how completely
has that plan been lost by lack OF
vision. At present the public side OF
Washington seems to be developing
without a plan. There are 1870 Fed
eral buildings north of Pennsylvania
avenue, and the Department OF Agri-
culture is scattered in 45 places.
Standardized Types Opposed.
At this point Senator Kendrick
called his attcnti)n to a section of the
pending bill which provides that, so
far as practicable. new buildings shall
be of standardized types.
Senator Bruce replied that he was
opposed to making the buildings in
Washington OF standardized type, las
| though they were so many dry goods
boxes" and announced that later he
would move to strike that out.
Senator Overman recalled that .
years ago there was plan before
Congress similar TO that proposed by
Senator Bruce, and at that time the
land could have been bought for about
Sic. 900 900, whereas today 1t would
cost nearly 100000 900, he said.
Resuming the discussion of what
should be done under the present bill,
Chairman Smoot said:
1T seems to me If we are going to
provide for any kind Of a building
program. unless we shall adopt the
old building program referred 10 by
the Senator from North Carolina. max

LOS ANGELES, Calf. April ~
Grant E. Hamilton, 60 years of age,
nationally known newspaper and
magazine cartoonist. artist and por-
trait painter. died today, following an
illness of more than a year.
For many years a resident of New
York City, where he was probably
best known and did most Of his work,
Mr.. Hamilton came to California
about four years ago to open an art
school. His health failed him, how
ever, and he was forced to abandon
this venture. Probably one of Mr..
Gamiltons best known cartoons was
the first use OF the full dime" pail
idea which was afterward accepted as
President McKinley's slogan during
the McKinleyBryan political cam
paign.
During the World War he was
called to Washington by the Govern
ment and served as cartoCnist during
the enlistment and the Liberty Loan
Campaigns. A number of his cartoons
also were used during the presidential
campaign of Theodore Roosevelt.
