neighbor Eddie Kirkland asked
Susie If she would address 10
envelopes for Stella Werner,
Democratic candidate for Con,
gress.
Susie drove over to Stella's to
pick up the envelopes and found
that they numbered 10000! With
the help of the neighbors the job
was finished in a week and Susie
was launched as a "Stella Wer.
ner girl" And that's where we
came in.

That's the answer but it isn't
easy to achieve even on the local
level. In this county, many poten.
tial cand i d ties are either
Matched" civil servants or can't
afford to devote full time to
politics.
The most infuriating cry of the
opposition to Susie and the KenS-
ington-Wheaton Democrats is
that they are power-seeking poll
ticians.
Susie's black eyes really snap
as she says ut isn't political am
bition or personal gain that
makes me leave dirty dishes in
the sink, desert my family and
go out and ring doorbells.
They call us idealists because
we want to keep Montgomery
County from going to pot on the
principle that what's good for the
county is good for Wheaton.
THE only personal gain we are
seeking" says this little human
dynamo, lis to live in a commu-
nifty, free of "gas statiOnitis,"
part time schooling, and the
threat in a few years of thou
sands of teenagers with no place
to go but out and nothing to do
when they get there"
That's the basis for Susie's
political machine" If you don't
believe me, go talk to Susie, 1
dare you. I'll be glad to hold
your coat but 1 won't be the
middleman.
A native Marylander, Susie
was born and raised in Balti-
more City. In 1889 she moved to
Bethesda to live with a married
sister.
At 20, she was assistant CLASH
fled ad manager for the wash
ington Post" and secretary to
the Washington Newspaper Guild.
In 1943, she married Fred rip"
Kaplan of the us. Air Corps and
as war bride followed him
around the country to Texas,
Oklahoma and Louisiana.
When he went overseas, she
came back to Washington to
manage the office of the News
paper Guild.
After the war, the Kaplans
went to Columbus where Rip
finished his education at Ohio
State and Susie ran a rooming
house to keep a roof over their
heads.
The following year, like the
man who came to dinner, Susie
came east to say goodbye to her
sister who was off to Europe.
She stayed two years replacing
her sister as manager of the
Stork Set in Washington.
After her daughter Lisa was
born, Susie went to work for Rip
who was just starting his own
business, and stayed until she re-
tired to housekeeping in 1851

The front, back and in-betwe,
paper will be filled with cane
run, announcements, claims {
Never let it be said that poll
ticians making their pitch isn't
an important part of any cam.
paign. But the good politicians
themselves are the first to admit
that the real work of winning
elections is done down on the
grass roots"
And that's your precinct. Too
many people think politics is a
dirty word. To a good precinct
chairman with well-organized
precinct, politics is democracy in
action.
AS our first example of such a
chairman Eyes, of course, Well
give. equal space to the opposi-
tom we picked Susie Kaplan,
Democratic chairman for pre-
cinct 1927 in the Kensington.
Wheaton area.
Even the enemies of the Kens,
ington-Wheaton liberals" egg
heads, insurgents" or what you
will, admit that this group is a
Woodworking bunch whose poll
fixing follows the old-fashion
prindples of doorbeH ringing.
Susie has mastered this tech
nique since she became active in
Z 1852. Her precinct has the reputa-
ton of being one of the most
highly organized in the county.
All it takes, says Susie, is a
lot of hard work.
Last year, an off-year for
elections, she attended 81 politi-
cal meetings of one kind or
another. Winding up for TIE
primaries in May, she has every
4 square of her League of Women
Voters calender filled with meet
ings for the next six weeks.
Her goal is one block worker
for every two blocks That she
achieves this most of the time is
remarkable since in her area the
turnover is terrific. Many of her
houses change hands regularly
once a year.
A large transient population
also makes it difficult to keep
her files up to date but Susie
manages. She has files and
cross files of every registered
voter by p<1ty, name and street.
Her biggest task, and the one
she does best, is talking and
listening to her people constant
ly. It's two way street for
Susie. As she tells her people
who's who, she is finding out
what's what with them.
And this is the important off.
ference between Susie and the
old-time political hack working
for machine organization. He
goal is to find out what her
people want and help them to get
it.
Over the coffee cups, over the
phone, at parties and at meetings,
Susie is constantly at work find
ing what Is wanted.
Through newslettels, fact
sheets, coffee hours and tea par:
ties, and contacts with key
people in every organization in
i1er area, she keeps the area in
formed of how it can best achieve
its goals.
That the goals have what is
called a liberal tingc is due to
the fact that ner area is largely
developed by newcomers. Thev
have no ties with the past and
their common bond is Good Coz
ernment.
They want top-notch schools,
larger and better recreation CEN
tiers, community planning, all of
good government right down to
Susie's favorite hobby horse,
better garbage collection.
What's more they are willing
to pay for it, both in money
through taxes and time, through
community organizations and
their political party, says Susie,
who ought to know.
The answer, Susie also knows
and repeats again and again:
qualified candidates to good gov
eminent principles!
