MRS. M0SK0W|Tz
 IS GENTLE VOICED
X Holnemaker Rather Than a
 Politician

Albany N. Y, July IS NP)-A quiet, gentle voiced woman who is homemaker rather than politi- clan, will play one Of the most inn portant parts in the forthcoming presidential campaign.
 | She is Mrs. Henry Moskowitz of | New York, generally regarded as the closest adviser of Gov. Alfred E. Smith, as we'll known in Albany as she Is in New York. But little seen in either place.
 Modest and retiring by disposition one is scarcely aware Of her pres ence, but there is not a social prob lem to which she has not devoted years of thought and study. and no political problem has arisen in the last ten years on which Gov. Smith has not called her into conference and listened carefully to her sugges- tions. More often than not he has taken her advice.
 Likes to Work
 And Mrs. Moskowitz is working mostly because she likes it.
 I've who know the governor new CT think of the money we receive working for him." she told the sen- ate committee which recently inves- tigated expenditures of presidential candidates We work for love oi the man."
 That statement is almost literally true. Nominally she is publicity agent for the New York democratic state committee. As such she re ceives a salary of s15o per month.
 There is nothing you can sa, about me" Mrs. Moskowitz tells re iporters who have attempted 10 learr / her story. There is nothing un usual about my life or work"
 Mrs. Moskowitz began study 0 social and labor conditions year : ago. Little was known Of her out side Of settlement work until Shit, began his first campaign for eover nor. She was recommended to hir as 8 valuable person to outline cam raign work for womens organza lions.
 The governor sent for her an asked her to accept the work, whicl she did. It was not long after tn campaign began that she advise the governor that he should addres ;. woman's gathering in Harlen Smith protested. saying he had neve addressed an audience Of women i
 his life and that he was too nervous
 But Mrs MoskoWitz persisted an carried her point. She had faith, sh told few friends afterward. tn; the quality Of sincerity she had d.
 tected in Smith would make itse
 manifest to the women he was

 , Apparently they did and tht
 spread her word. for Smith was il
 vited more and more frequently
 address women's organizations. Fac
 time he accepted under protest
 the insistence of his new adviser. \ Closest Adviser ! That was her introduction in | real politics. But the govern ] thought so much of her opinio / that in his second gubernatori campaign he named her on his W .. board of a half dozen members. T ' day she is conceded to be his close
 adviser.
 ie Mrs. MoskowitZ is approachil '- middle life. She is of mediu d. height, with black hair and bro1 eyes.
 ae She is the mother of three oh c. dren. two sons and daughter. H 's great pride is her home. It is req
 her hobby.
 Home is more than a place which to eat, sleep and receive vi nd tors" she says. Tt is the expressi dc of woman. If 1t isn't comforta' he and cheerful, then it isn't hom !, One seldom sees her at the Sm ,Z- headquarters these days. nevertl .N- less she is there in 8 little corner lis herself going over plans and ne' at papers for ideas.
