THE COLUMBIA SENTINEL, THOMSON, GEORGIA. Time For The Ladies To Get Back To Their Knitting . The men voters are telling why and it happened, and it seems a good time for ladies” *to count noses, and wonder why many for perfectly good he-woraen were office. It: would seem that of all people, Alice Robertson, the Lady Member of gress, after serving' for a full term in gress, would have learned that the first of the game is, to be a good loser. ft is an awful slam on the feminine would he office holder, tliat Miss Alice her race for another term, and her per.

'She said she hadn’t a penny of income here and added, “there are a lot of good homes open to me.” It, was said she has a place waiting for her in the woman’s bureau of the Depart ment of Labor in Washington. “Would you take it if it were offered to you.’ Him was asked. ^J/vo pcot to <]o something, li&vcn't T, an d 1 haven’t a cent income after I leave Clongress,” ’ she answered. • Being another of the women who have to have a job in order to eat and wear clothes, I feel more than the usual sympathy for poor. disappointed “Miss Alice,” hut I am sorry she had not learned to “play the while she was in daily contact with that highly developed political body known as the House Representatives. 1 sat in the gallery of the House, several times; . I saw “Miss Alice” there, several times, but not every time 1 was there; she had learned that there were many things tliat could he attended jo from her office; and she ilcveloped a habit of going off to make speech in other States, than her own, and to varkHi* clubs. It was my good fortune to live at the same hotel with Miss Robert,son, and from what I 6a w of her, she was having what we call in Georgia, “s right good time.” I was in the Gal'erv when she was escort to the Obftir of the Speaker—and thus giv the privilege of being the first woman to ever preside over the House of Representa fives. . Frankly: feminine Miss Robertson developed the unhappy faculty of changing her nsind too often; in Congress this also changes the vote of the individual who changes its mind. I h-ave been accused of Iks same trait; f cad gup y in many counts, bn I also file plea of extenuating circumstances,” and they were usually because the party of the g^oud pai q l !a d not kept to its promises. This was particularly the case in the campaign for the successor to our late Senator, Thos. E. Watson. My reoerd of fidelity and sticking to my word, in the fourteen years I was with him, and noting his own record in that particular. would make it hard for me to swerve; I had promised Tie Sentinel would lie neutral, until a Candida e was g ; » ™,M a T^ re G 011 P 1 1 Gatson had When we finally did accept lI k* word of the man who won, personally and collectively, 1 was called about all the disgruntled politi cians could call me—and us—in the public prints.

We have been in politics long enough—we women in Georgia-—to know that the power we have, and are to wield, doesn’t center all around the ballot Ikix i Mr. Watson lost a race more than once, wbe n ballots enough to elect. him, had been in the box; but things happened to those ballots, ami sudden and mysterious broke out, destroying records winch would have told the tale of the ballots, had he given an honest deal. The most important part we women are to play is: an understanding of the needs of the Sta-te-the whole State, not only hat wlneh claims the lnggest cities, but the whole State, and overv individual part in it. For many years it had been a lmbit of the big cities, to name candidates for every othee, and the cities saw to it that they got elected. Then Mr. Watson preached, again and again, on the remedy; which finally resulted the restoration of-the County Unit plan, which Hoke Smith tried to abolish. Ac cording to its size, the county was given so in any voters; each little town was of impor tanee in this plan, because it frequently hap that the big towns did not have the to offset the straggling little towns choice of the country people though this same choice happened to he 0 £ ( j u , ,j t - ‘ , ( | so ^ tha t the elections are things of the t the women of Georgia should investigate tb j , g tat of .

Mrt McCord is far and away a better orator than "William A. Sunday. He is not given to platform exhibitions and circus performances: he preaches. As an Evangelist, he is entitled to first rank'. As a patriot, lie will, if you listen to bis burning messages, convince you that he stands f or k) 0 per cent Americanism, and he doesn’t trim his sails to catch the passing breeze, He is for America and against Rome; he ■ l d for the Ku K lux Klan and its red l , ? ood , ? d , Americanism; . and . he , stands for the American Constitution and against the 01 - ei fners who arc now attempting o se in our prohibition laws and let down the gap to light wines and beers, with booze, to follow.
