Fc. ...j first time since ..j jourow Wilson became the Demo cratic presidential candidate has Mrs. Wilson appeared.- She attended in person her husband's daily conference with reporters, although "heretofore she has made special requests that she be Tiot quoted nor written about in the papers. What. Mrs. Wilson wished to have fully understood was that if she be comes the first lady of the. land she will not, aB has been said in a widely distributed interview, have packages 0isa,;esn her Perso,nal ,deBk f tne WDiie jtiouse ana muuige iu biuub. ing them with her callers. ' Through Governor Wilson, Mrs. Wil son asked that publicity be given to a letter she had written to the editor of the State Journal at Columbus, O., repudiating an .alleged interview with her in whicfi she defended cigarette smoking for women. The interview nad come to. -her in abetter jsigned "American Citizen," which said: "Dear Madam I can scarcely think of any greater calamity to the young I women of the nation than to read such "a preachment as your interview offers tnem. I am a workingman, and I see . men lose their jobs almost every day because they are incapacitated for work hy the use of the cigarette. If smoking does this for strong men what will it do lr giris and women?" The "Interview" was indeed a cor dial indorsement of the woman smok er. Here are some of its assuring phrasesyr all credited to Mrs. Wilson: "A woman writer for a syndicate of Sunday newspapers asked Mrs Wocd row Wilson if she agreed with Ger trude Atherton's opinon of the smok ing of cigarettes by women. She smil lDgly. exhibited- three cigarette boxes i plJed 1athei-cnrner-ol 4w-4el a3L bnt r " Why shouldn't aj woman ..smokeif she enjoys it? she queried. 'Why hasn't she just as much right to a cigarette as a man; Certainly I agree with Mrs. Atherton that any existing prejudice against women smoking is to the last silly and ab surd. " "Smoking cigarettes is a question of manners, not morals. It promotes good fellowship. "'Some women feel that a cigarette calms their nerves and helps their brains into working order. Personally smoking diffuses my thoughts instead of concentrating them. I enjoy it as I enjoy after dinner coffee. Both are pleasant ways of ending and finishing off; both add to conviviality and good MViwship.'' " - The editor of the Ohio State Journal, It was clear, had been much incensed at the apologies for the cigarette habit among women attributed to Mrs. Wil son,' as he wrote on Aug. 10 an edito rial in which he called for the defeat of Governor Wilson or a repudiation from his wife. If there was no mis take about it, he wrdte, "Mrs. Wood row Wilson shouldn't be mistress of the White House." If the Ohio editor was emphatii Mrs. Wilson was certainly not less so. j After the reporters had said ,thpyi would gladly publish her letter to the' Ohio editor she asked for an hour's itime in which to write one. This was what she prepared: "Dear Sir I have just received a copy of the Journal with your edito rial entitled 'Smoking Women,' arid' I beg leave to deny indignantly the statement that I approve of women smoking cigarettes. The interview upon which your editorial was based is a pure invention. I intensely dis like the cigarette smoking habit for women in, fact, so strong is my feel ing on the subject that my real danger lies in being unjust and unkind in my judgment of those who differ with me in this respect. "But certainly no woman in our household ever has or ever will smoke. "i.uUe apart from the had taste of it," I believe with you that it -has an ex tremely injurious effect on the nerves. "ELLEN A! WILSON. '- ("Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.") Governor Wilson, in approving the letter sent out by Mrs. Wilson, offered what he thought might prove an ex planation for the interview. "I do not think it was" maliciously Invented,' he satd. "There is a rather well known writer who signs herself Mrs.iWilsqn Woodrow, and she no doubt has been confused with Mrs." Wilson." .
