Milford, Pa. Mar. o1. - I'm for her, 100 per cert--1'll help her in every way ca!l-but it $ her show and her fight"
 That was eN-Govornor Clifford Pinchot's reply when asked what he thought Of his wife's decision 10 become a. candidate for the R"pub lican nomination to Congress in the 18th district of Pennsylvania.
 Mrs. Pinchot did not seem alarm ed over her husbands cdict. Rather, she welcomed it. Theodore Roosc- welt once said of Mrs. Pinchot that she knew more about politics than any other woman he knew
 Why Shes Running
 T believe women haNo service 10 render politically" Mrs. Pinchot told me. "They are interested in the conservation of human and natural resources they care about education and the protection Of children, and believe that political action must conform 10 standards of righteousness. I5ut l am not asking to be elected because ] am @ woman. l am not directing my campaign toward the woman vote. I stand or fall on my political issues.
 'I am against the political ma chine at Harrishureh and against the stealing of votes and the C0r- rupt politics that have made Penn sylvania elections q national scan dal.
 If nominated and elected, l promise to work for the enact ment of law providing that candidate who has cheated in an election or spends more than q specified sum of money on bis campaign shall automatically be prevented from taking his seat This would go a long way toward ending dishonesty at the polls. Concern for the Farmer " pledge myself 10 work for the interest of the farmer. Farm ing today is q business operation | Methods Of distribution, rrotcc- ] ton of markets. cost of production and such fundamHntal problems are as vital 10 the farmer as 10 the ! nanuia cturcr or the banker. 1 To-day large amounts of milk. cream and other dairy products, as we'll as vegetable oils, are being imported from Canada and the Philippines 10 lower the price Of American farm products. This is q serious matter and an issue that will come up in the next congress.
 "If ] am elected. I will ask to be put on the agricultural commit tee.
 "1 believe in union orsaniza- tiors and stand behind their con s,tructive program for industry"
 Mrs. pinchot is as staunchly dry as her husband. Shn faVors dry men and women in office, dry judges, dry con gressmen.
 .'The official who votes dry hui drinks himself and serves liquor in his homo is not fit to hold pub lie office. We all know how man, such there are in Washington 10. day" she said.
 "If elected I pledge myself 'c vote dry. and work for the dr! cause"
 Mrs. pinchot has the advantage of being very decorative as well as informed She has titan hair, { regular school girl complexion and a real flair for clothes, yet she gives the impression that thesf are quite unimportant ana fha she does not rely upon her charm. A Painstaking Speaker
 She is hard worker and rainstaKinc person-her speeches have all been carefully writer and gone over. and all her point: verified.
 She see nothing 10 daunt fe' in the prospect of from five 10 tel speeches a day from now until tn primary election in April. and sh' Is perfectly willing to address an, group in q private home, post ollie or store.
 She comes from a family tha has been socially and politicall important for generations. sh
