 \ Signal !ach,e, en,ent
 Her present political emlnence in the pre-conyention campaign Is a signal achievement. for Mrs Vile brandt has not had the political ed ucation possessed by her leading op- ponent. or. indeed. any of the lesser lights. She took q not-ra r'lcularlS- important part in the conventions of 1920 and 1924. She has never cam paigned in her own home town or her own state. Her valuable leader ship today apparently IS a gift, not an achievement,
 Mrs. Mccormick, on the other hand. listened in on her fathers conferences from the time she was a small child. She went to work as his secretary when he was in the senate, and no matter how late she might dance the night before, she had 10 be on hand 10 open the of flee in the morning.

 AS the wife of the late Senator Medill Mccormick. she was potent influence in Illinois politics. lead CT in the suffrage movement. she had been credited with taking the heard of suffrage forces at the last moment and securing the enfran- chlsement of her sex.
 She worked side by side with her husband against the League Of Nations.
 Mrs. Wllebrandt and Mrs, Me CormICk both are putting politics before domesticlty for the moment. The former has one adopted child, Dorothy. awaiting her in Washing ton; and the latter has three eager ly watching the outcome Of the convention.
 Roth Charming The women arc similar in that they both have in their different fashion that indetina blc thing called charm, and both are distinctly fem mine. There is nothing of the "feminlst" about either of them both work as men.
 The masculine heads of the Hoover campaign wait patiently 7 upon Mrs. Willie brandt. and the male opponents Of the secretary ol commerce take their orders from Mrs. Mccormick.
