FAMOUS WOMAN
SUFFRACIST in
CONGRESS RACE
ELSIE MARY HILL OUTSTAND-
ING AMONG THIRTY MORE
WOMEN SEEKING POSITIONS
IN COMING ELECTION
By HERBERT PLUMMER
Try Associated Prcss)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Of
the 30 or more women seeking
seats in congress in the elections
of November s, perhaps none is
more colorful than the one run
ming as an independent republican
in the fourth Connecticut district.
She is Elsie Mary Hill, famed
woman suffragist in the days
when women were fighting for
the right to ballot. Elsie Hill then
was one of the most militant of
women suffragists.
1t was in 1911 that she came to
Washington to teach French III
one of the high schools of the CAPT.
tai. She had studied abroad, and
spent one year at the University
of Rome, where the law lectures of
Enrico Ferri deeply impressed her.
In the capital she lost little time
in affiliating herself with the suf-
frage movement. It wasn't long
before she became president of the
local equal suffrage league and be-
gan her work IN earnest.
There are still those around the
capital who remember the Elsie
Hill of those days. Young, agrees
sive and fearless, she became an
outstanding feminist leader.
She was a member of the COM
mittee that forced passage of the
so-called Kenyon bill through con-
gress, bringing about abolition of
the vice district in Washington.
By 1914 she had extended her
suffrage work to a national scale.
She organized the renowned "Suf-
frage Special" a train that visited
many parts of the country to fur
Their the cause. She was one of
the first women to picket the
White House and congress, urging
that women be given equal rights.
1t was nothing new to read in
the papers, in those days, that
Elsie Hill had been jailed in Wash
ington. Boston or New York for
her activity. The imprisonment in
Boston was the result of her
activity when President Wilson re-
turned from the peace conference
in Paris.
She's rather proud of those jail
ings for the suffrage cause.

Ruth Nichols, Famous
AViatrix, Has Narrow
Escape In Plane Skid
Accident Happens During
Take-OH At New York;
Machine Goes Into
Ground Loop

NEW YORK, Nov. s.
Lightning action saved Ruth
Nichols, famous aviatrix,
from probable death today
when her plane smashed up
on a take-off of her trans
continental campaign flight
for President Hoover.
As tine plane, heavy load
ed with gasoline, shot down
the runway, it skidded off
and went into a ground loop
and buried the left wing in
the ground.
Before the craft struck,
the aviatrix quickly cut the
switch to prevent the gaso-
line from catching fire. She
was unhurt.
Carrying bales of litera-
ture to drop en- route, Miss
Nichols had planned to make
a nonstop flight to the west
coast in an attempt to break
the record of Amelia Ear
hart.
