Election of Two Widows to Next Congress Indicates New Order for Women in Politics “Political Widows” Elected to Serve Out the Unexpired Terms of Their Late Husbands. GO THERE ON MERIT Written Speciall for The Herald. _ By ROBERT FULLER Through Autocaster Service Three women will sit in the next Congress. Two of them are “political widows,” elected to serve out the unexpired term of their late husbands However, sentiment has died in politics—and the woman elected to Congress now—goes there on merit. Such is the political evidence of 1925. One of the widows is from Massa chusetts, the first) ever to be sent from the New England states. She is Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers of the i the fifth district. The other is Mrs Florence Prag Kahn of San Francis co, elected from the fourth California district. The third member is not a widow, therefore had to go out in an inten sive campaign and battle her way to victory. She is Mrs. Mary T. Norton of New Jersey—whose hus band is alive and in the cooperage business at Jersey City. While sentiment prompted the candidacy of both Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Kahn, at the deaths of their husbands, both encountered strong opposition to their elections which made the campaigns whirlwind af fairs and gave to both the opportun ity* to prove that they were qualified for seats in congress. Mrs. nogers victory at tne recent election was most notable. She first went into a three cornered fight at the primaries for the Republican nomination. She overwhelmingly de feated two strong men candidates. Then into the fight for election against a Democratic opponent, Eu gene Noble Foss, three times gover nor of Massachusetts. She defeated 1 him near 3 votes to 1. Mrs. Kahn’s supporters are quite firm in the belief that she will be a “real” congresswoman. She was forc ed to make a real fight for election. She made many political speeches and surprised all by her grasp of na tional questions and the workings of congress. Sentiment was forgotten and she rolled up votes on merit enough to win handsomely. It is true that of the seven wom en elected to congress since the in auguration of equal right, not one in any way distinguished herself. However, woman has shown herself an apt pupil and recent elections in dicate that she has arrived—to* make good. The seven women elected to con gress: Alice Robertson—Oklahoma—reg ularly elected. Jeanette Rankin — Montana—reg ularly elected. Winifred Mason Huek—Illinois— father’s term. ' 1 Mae Nolan, California—husband’s 1 term. Mary T. Norton, New Jersey—, regularly elected. Florence Prag Kahn, California— husband’s term. Edith Nourse Rogers. Massachu setts—husband’s term.

G.^ Dixon, of Benson, informs the Eastern News that J. W. Stephen son, of Smithfield, had quite a prof itable experience last year on his cot ton farm near Smithfield. Mr. Ste phenson used a tin wash tub and filled it about one-third full of wa ter, then put one-half gallon of kero sene oil on the water. He put the tub in the field and hung a lighted lantern over the tub. The light at tracted the weevils and when they lighted on the oily water, the kero sene seemed to mean death to these pests as well as to other insects. Mr. Dixon informs us that Mr. Stephenson killed all the weevils in his field with this process, and thinks that other farmers will find this method very cheap and easy to use. He says if the weevils are very bad it will prob ably take one tub to the acre—East ern News. The man who is only a follower can’t see where he is going for the dust i nhis eyes.
