THIS EXTRAORDINARY
WOMAN says that President

the most important single po-
litical influence In her life.
People frequently ask me

Until Wilson came on the po-
htical scene. / really didn't
know quite what / thought.
Many Of my natural instincts
seemed to veer toward the
Democratic Party, but I was q
great admirer Of Theodore
Roosevelt and his attempts to
make the Republican Party
more progressive. After IR
was nominated by the Progress
sive Party In 1912. / said I
would campaign for him unless
Wilson was nominated by the
Democrats because the other

She was also a close friend
and admirer q of Franklin
Roosevelt and a strong sMp-
porter of President Truman.
"On the 1856 campaign, I
am neutral" she says. "I want
to wait and see who Is non1i-
mated and I will support him
to the utmost"
OF course. one Of the men
often mentioned as a candi-
date, Gov. Averell Hartman
Of New York, Is related by

ton to be changed.
She says she never plans
her parties in advance. She
just invites whom she happens
to want to see. Then she
throws out some controversial
idea to start the ball rolling,
and from there on the party
takes its course.
u
ALTHOUGH A WOMAN "OF
SOCIETY" the one thing in
Mrs. Harriman's career that
seems at first glance out Of
character is her founding the
Colony Club. The club has al
ways had as its members top
level New York society women.
But this club grew out of
the problems women encoun-
tered during the Victorian era.
According to Mrs. Hartman.
no lady travelled without her
maid or someone accompany
ing her. And her husband. as
well as other men Of the era.
objected TO her going to q hotel
alone in q city like New York.
So she. along with some of
her friends, conceived the idea
of a club for women, where
they could stop when in town
and not offend Victorian SEN
sibilities.
OF THE POLITICAL SCENE
today, Mrs. Hartman had this
to say:
II have thought for many
years that the parties should
eventually be reshuffied. The
conservative elements and the
liberal elements among both
Republicans and Democrats
should find each other and
revamp the parties along those
lines"
Personally, Mrs. Hartman
characterizes herself as a New
Deal Democrat. and she says
she hopes the Republicans are
not going to do away with all
the liberal gains which have
been made.
Once. under TR. it looked
as If the Republican Party
might become more progress
sive, but since then 1t has
never moved" she said.
She says she would like to
see a strong Republican Party.
"It's not good for the Demo-
Gratis, not to have q strong
opposition"
She does not approve Of
SPLINTER groups within the
Democratic Party and strongly
believes the party is better
served by all elements working
together.
And what Of herself?
II have had a wonderful 81
years as a national committee
woman. but / think it's a great
mistake to stay In a job until
people wish you were out. And
/ think It's time some of the
younger people took over these
positions. But do plan to go
to the convention this year
and. Of course, / win continue
to serve the party in every
way I can. But now I will de-
vote more Of my time to one
OF my pet projects--hoEne rule

their needlework and babies.
5 Mrs. Hartman came by her
interest In politics quite nat
urally.
Most Of her family were Re-
publicans. and among her
earliest memories are the
heated discussions around the
house during the Cleveland
Blaine election In 1880.
Her mother died when she
was 3, but she remembers
her grandfather reading Punch
to her as . child. 50 that
early In life she was conVer-
SAINT with the world Of Glad
stone and Disraeli. And at
the age Of 8. her grandfather
took her from their summer
home on the Hudson to the
polling place In the nearby
village to explain TO her just
how q President came to be.
When she made her debut
in New York at Delmoni-
cos. with all the fuss and
feathers-Mrs. Hartman, born
Florence Jaffray Hurst, was
regarded as one Of the great
bellies of the season. In 1889.
she married j. Borden Harri-
man, q New York banker. who
died in 1914. He. incidentally,
was also a Republican, and
many of his friends remon-
strated with him about his
wife's political leanings.
Mrs. Hartman laughingly
tells the story about the Gov
ernor of Rhode Island. who
said to her husband. Really,
how can you allow Daisy to be
q Democrat? NONE Of Us is
q Denocrat!"
The Harrimans had one
daughter. Mrs. Henry Russell.
who died two years ago. Mrs.
Hartman has two grand
children and eight great grand
children.
&&&
ACTUALLY, A REPUBII-
CAN launched Mrs. Hartman
on her career In politics. In
the early I90Os, Gov. Charles
Evans Hughes of New York
appointed her as one Of the
managers of the Bedford Re-
formatory for Women.
She came to Washington in
1918, when she was named to
the Federal Industrial Rela-
tions Commission. Durin g
World War I, she was a colonel
In the Red Cross Motor Corps
and took 500 Red Cross women
to France. She also went to
London to report for Samuel
Gompers Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor on the condi-
tions OF women working In de-
tense plants. This was with an
eye to using American women
in the same capacity, should
the need occur.
Mrs. Hartman feels the
most exciting and rewarding
experience during her career
occurred when she served as
Minister to Norway. Appointed
In 1897 by Franklin Roose-
welt, Mrs. Hartman was our
envoy there when the Nazis
invaded. This resulted in a
series of adventures rarely en-
countered by q diplomat.
A WOMAN OF COURAGE
AND VIGOR, Mrs. Hartman
looks the role. Tall, with white
hair and deep blue eyes. she
has long been noted for her
splendid carriage. This she at
tributes to her fathers military
regimen for her and her sisters.
Every day she had to walk
with q book on her head for
80 minutes. And an instructor
was brought in three times a
week to drill them in exercises.
She is also q great horse
woman and. at the age of 81,
while Minister to Norway, she
learned to ski.
This many-faceted woman
contributes much to the In
tellectual atmosphere Of WASH
j ington. In fact. it Is said that
