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
