(Missoula, Mont., Letter in Juneau
Empire)
East of the city of Missoula a half
hour’s walk from the business section,
a great remnant of rock looms con
spicuously. It is called Jumbo moun
tain, so closely does it resemble the
head and shoulders of an elephant,
and the color of his hide.
Miss Jeannette Rankin, the first
woman to be elected to congress,
lives almost in the shadow of the ele
phant. This is the reason, she says
laughingly, that she became a repub
lican. Environment has its effect in
the determination of one’s politics as
it has upon character.
Miss Rankin was elected in the face
of a democratic landslide in Montana.
The state cast its electoral vote for
Wilson and chose a democratic gov
ernor, senator and a representative in
congress. Miss Rankin went before
the entire state electorate, as the com
monwealth has no congressional dis
tricts, electing its representatives at
large.
How She Entered Politics.
Perhaps if it had not been for an
illness which caused Miss Rankin’s
physician to send her to California to
convalesce, after her work in the
prepartory school in Missoula, she
might never have entered politics. On
the road to recovery Miss Rankin
read a great deal. It was in the pe
riod so glibly termed the “era of
muckraking.” Contemporary litera
ture was full of the struggle against
corruption, unscrupulous big business,
the scheming politician, and the social
exploiter. Miss Rankin become inter
ested. She resolved to see for herself
if these things were true. When she
j became well and strong again she en
! tered social work in San Francisco,
and her assignment was the famous
Telegraph hill.
After the election, at her home on
the north side—the old families there
—she traced the steps that led her in
to social work, then into the suffrage
movement, and finally into the arena
of politics.
Residence Well Known.
Any Missoula man can point out
the Rankin residence. It is a two
story brick structure set a few paces
back from the sidewalk in a yard of
fruit trees. It is sober, almost som
ber, in appearance, and maintains an
authentic air of age and dignity. But
inside, in Miss Rankin’s study, there
is brightness and modernity,
i Books range themselves on two
| walls. In a corner stands a business
like-looking desk, with a telephone
near. Letters and papers are piled
high on the desk top. Wicker furni
ture, rugs that please the eye, and
numerous framed pictures of real
persons (no “Horse Fair” or “Mona
Lisa” or Whistler’s “Mother”) com
plete the interior.
Books, like friends, are hallmarks
of character. If this be true, then the
volumes ranged in such orderly fash
ion on the study shelves are indices of
Miss Rankin’s interest. There are
many on political and social science
and economics, Ely, Ross, Tousseig—
these are names to conjure with. Then
there is a work of Tom L. Johnson
and Henry George’s “Progress and
Poverty."
Plans in the Making.
“Don’t quote me,” said Miss Rankin
definitely, “on political subjects. Un
less there is an extra session it will
be some months before the represen
tatives in congress convene. It is too
early to say what I shall do and how
I shall vote.”
Miss Rankin indicates, however,
even now, that she will take a great
deal of interest in the Susan B. An
thony amendment for suffrage. It is
not letting the cat out of the bag to
say that this is one of her supreme
interests. See her record in the ad
vancement of the suffrage amend
ment.
She campaigned in California and
Washington when the suffrage amend
ments were before the people. She
organized Montana for the suffrage
cause and won a brilliant victory in
that state. She was the first woman
to lobby for suffrage throughout the
session of the assembly in New York.
She has been successful field secretary
for the National Women’s Suffrage
association and representative of the
Congressional union at Washington;
For five years she worked tirelessly
in the interests of votes for women.
Needing a vacation, she went for an
oi n voyage to New Zealar, i Miss
Rankin had now become interested in
the study of political and social con
ditions and was a visitor in Auckland
for several months. When she return
ed to Missoula candidates were enter
ing the state primary race. Friends
urged her to be a candidate and she
cast the die.
Women Respond Nobly.
“I don't know what I should have
done without the help of my brother
and my sisters,” said Representative
elect Rankin in her study Friday when
the election was no longer in doubt.
“The women of the state responded
loyally. I am very grateful to my
supporters, men and women.
Mrs. Oscar Sedman of Bisbee, Ariz.;
Mrs. Herbert Bragg, of Colfax,
Wash.; Mrs. Thomas E. Kinney of
Worland, Mont., and Miss Edna Ran
kin, a student in the state university
at Missoula—the sisters Rankin—
went on the stump for Jeannette, aid
ed in organizetion work, and became
almost as skilled as veterans in things
political before the end of the cam
paign.
“She won because she works hard,
understands people and politics, and
had the united support of the women
exercising the suffrage in a state elec
tion for the first time this year,” was
the manner in which a prominent Mis
soula democrat summed up her vic
tory.
Born in Missoula.
Miss Rankin was born and raised
in Missoula. She was in her early 30s,
and it may well be that she is the
youngest representative in congress as
well as the only woman in the house.
She is slender, her features are regu
lar, in each cheek there is a bit of
rose, and her eyes are full of interest,
intelligence and humor.
In the east Miss Rank n is well
known. Seattle knows her. She at
tended the University of Washington
in 1910, taking work in the depart
ment of political science, and she was
active in the support of the suffrage
cause.
After leaving social work in San
Francisco she entered the New York
School of Philanthropy and upon go
ing to Seattle was for a time engaged
in work for the Washington Children’s
Home Finding society. Miss Rankin
campaigned in North and South Da
kota, Delaware, Florida, New York,
Montana and Washington when suf
frage was before the voters and was
the field organizer for the borough of
Manhattan, which engaged her entire
time in the work.
AT THE EMPRESS.
Soul-Stirring Drama
Alice Brady, in “The Rack,” is the
the screen play at the Empress thea
tre this Tuesday and Wednesday,
January 30 and 31.
In this magnificent drama, Miss
Brady admirably portrays the won
derful character of Blanche Gordon,
whose indiscretions and dual life
caused untold agony, the death of one
man and forced her to drink deep of
the dregs of life’s bitter draught. All
of which stretched her soul on “The
Rack” of modern society, till it was
bruised and torn. However, through
sacrificial fires Blanche Gordon (Al
ice Brady) won into her own at last,
and in her husband’s arms found balm
and consolation for her cruel ordeal
at the hands of man-made law. The
picture holds interest throughout be
cause of exciting situations dramati
cally and artistically portrayed by
Miss Brady and a big cast of Broad
way favorites.
