OKOLAHOMA COOK GOES TO CONGRESS ?v FIRST WOMAN TO SIT IN THE LOWER HOUSE. N . Opposed Suffrage Bill. Conducted Campaign Over Counter and Tables of Her Little Muscogee Restaurant-. Muscogee, Okla., Nov. 5.?Miss Al ice Robertson, for many years cafeteria owner, and the only congresswoman in the United States, sat in her little restaurant here tonight planning the menu for tomorrow's noon( day meal. f "I think I should celebrate my bwn election tomorrow by preparing some extra fruit salad and fried chicken," she said, as she wrote out the bill of fare on her typewriter, then turned again to politics and shook hands with many who came to congratulate her on her victory over Congressman W. W. Hastings, who has represented the second congres? sional district since 1914. "Miss Alice," known over the state as the most picturesque character in Oklahoma, made the race for congress despite, the fact that she was opposed to and worked actively i against the woman suffrage amendment. See if They Mean it. "The men have thrust the vote on us; now I am going to see if they mean it," she said when she announced her candidacy for congress. "I guess they did," she concluded when the figures of her election were brought to her. The story of Miss Robertson's life which began in a little Indian mission ten miles from here 65 years ago is the story of a sacrifice by a woman for the betterment of Indian tribes here. Miss Robertson's father came to * the old Indian Territory in 1849 wThen the cry of "gold" was heard from 'California and thousands bf ? 1 ? Irt tlio for* nroct Rllt. jJt?Upit; i USUCU Lvy tut 1U1 ~ his mission was not .one of seeking wealth. "My father came here to be a good citizen for the new country," Miss Robertson said. Race is Close. Miss Robertson's victory over Congressman Hastings was by 273 votes, out of approximately 50,000 ballots cast in the district. "Miss Alice's" campaign here was similar to President-elect Harding's, but instead of being conducted on her front porch it was conducted in her cafeteria. Whenever a man or woman came into her cafeteria to eat she sat down at the table and "talked it over." Miss Robertson also ran "ads" in the daily papers proclaiming the day's menu, giving Biblical quotations, and advancing political arguments. The "ads" rivalled even the news columns for the interest they attracted. WOULD NOT YIELD JOT. Gov. Cox Hopes Democrats Will Not Attempt Political Sabotage. Columbus, Ohio. Nov. 5.?Governor Cox, Democratic canditate for the presidency, in his first statement since the election, tonight said that in spirit he was as "proud as when the fight started," and that he "would not yield a single jot in principle." Governor Cox's statement follows: "For the first time in ten years, the Republican party is in complete control of the legislative and executive branches of the national government. Therefore, policy1 as to statute and administration is with it. It is my hope and firm belief that the Democracy of the nation will not attempt political sabotage. The country has seen quite enough of that. "We are in the midst of an emergency and the nation's every resource should coordinate in behalf of the things that are helpful: So long as - government exists, the principles of Thomas Jefferson will be the center " ' 4 1 w, ^ V? AHAC T'ill COtVl ? aOOUl WHICH auuiau uupco er. Talk of a new party is absurd. One might as well discuss the destruction of human emotions. "As essential as it has been to the welfare of the country in the past, the creed of Democracy is more needed now than ever because recent events have made it distinctly the American party. "In spirit I am as proud as when the fight started. I would not retrace a step nor yield a single jot in principle. It was a privilege to make the contest for the right in the face of overwhelming odds. There is a distinct difference between defeat and surrender. The flag of our Democracy still flies as the symbol of things more enduring than the passions and resentment that come with the aftermath of war." j WHAT WOULD YOU 1 DO IF DISASTER HIT YOUR TOWN? < | 30,000 Victims of Sudden Disaster! | Helped Last Year by Red Cross Atlanta, Ga., Nov.?What would your town do tomorrow, were it suddenly stricken by disaster? The question is not as foolish as it may sound to people who are living today in safety and happiness and who no more anticipate disaster tomorrow than they do the end of the world. For 110 one knows when or where I | disaster will strike. There was no warning of the San Francisco earthquake and fire. One | moment the people of that mighty city were bustling about their business, utterly devoid of fear or premonition; the next their entire world was tumbling about their ears. One morning two miles of the city of Atlanta, Ga., were swept by fire in less than four hours. Wall street never expected a bomb explosion until it came and killed more than thirty people and maimed scores of others in less time than it takes to read this paragraph. Even gathering storms and rising floods, such as the south has known on its coasts and at river cities like West Point, Ga., give scant warning before homes are inundated and people forced to flee for their lives. To any one at any time, tornado, fire and storm may bring peril and suffering. So the question is asked again: "What would vour town do tomor .'ow if disaster struck?" It is to provide an answer to that question that the American Red Cross has been in existence for years and years. It is the recognized official agency for disaster relief, and It has lived up to its responsibilities in a wonderful way. That is one reason why the Red Cross deserves the support of everyone on its Fourth Roll Call?to maintain it so that, when disaster strikes, the stricken will always have a helping hand to turn to, the American Red Cross. The disaster relief part of the Red Cross organization has been so thoroughly perfected that it can answer calls for help in the briefest possible time. People of the south well remember how promptly the Red Cross responded to the need during the West Point flood last year, the Corpus Christi storm and several other southern disasters, while fresh in the memory of the entire country is the fact that Red Cross doctors and nurses were 'first on the scene" at the Wall street explosion. In addition to furnishing such .prompt relief as this, practically every Red Cross chapter has a per* manent disaster relief committee, whiflh has made a survey of resources in their respective communities and is prepared to act promptly with the means at hand when disaster occurs. Illustrative of the genuine need for just such preparedness as this in the United States is the fact that, last year alone, the Red Cross aided 30,000 persons in 164 communities, all victims of 78 separate and distinct disasters. In the accomplishment of this re.ief work 140 Red Cross chapters were called upon to assist, the sum of $900,000 in cash and supplies was expended. Thirty temporary hospitals were called into existence, twenty-odd motor corps were organized, seven special relief trains were sent out and 110 special representatives and nurses were furnished in addition to the aid given by the local Red Cross workers in the community visited by disaster. In these 73 disasters, including 19 tornadoes and cyclones, 2 hurricanes, 2 cloud bursts, 1 hail storm, 2 earthquakes, 1 landslide, 15 fires, 1 explosion, 9 floods, 10 shipwrecks, 1 train wreck, 4 riots, 1 motor accident and 2 droughts?850 persons were killed, 1,500 were injured, 13,000 (approxiimately) were rendered homeless while property valued at $5,000,000 was destroyed. The largest and mopt destructive disaster of the year was at Corpus Christ!, Texas, in oepiemoer, ????. Approximately 400 were killed and 4,000 made homeless. The Red Cross diviilon director with a staff of 35 assiitants administered a fund of $400,000, giving aid to 3,600 families and four towns and rural districts and sufficient supplies to each family to enable it to stand on its feet. Because of tornadoes, the Gulf and Lake Divisions were called upon to send emergency relief with trained workers to nearly 80 communities. The two droughts in Montana and North Dakota gave abundant opportunity for trained workers from the Northern Division to help the Red Cross chapters demonstrate their usefulness, while a number of shipwrecks proved the readiness of the Atlantic Division and the New York Metropolitan Area Committee to assist in that line of work. The record of last year emphasizes the need of abundant preparedness along the line of disaster relief, and has resulted in the organization of Disaster Preparedness Committees by about 400 chapters and the setting j aside of a special emergency fund by the National organization of $5,000,- . 000 in addition to the regular annual appropriation for this purpose made ] In its budget. c 1 J.
