Show MRS. POINDEXTER'S BREADTH OF VISION . IK5.- Mrs. Poindexter, wife of Senator Poindexter of Spokane, Wash., is one of the women in the congressional set at Washington who has voted and intends in-tends to , vote again for a president of the United States. In politics, she agrees with her husband. All Mrs. Poindexter's friends will tell you that her most characteristic qualities are an abiding sense of humor hu-mor and that especial brand of moral courage known as "backbone." She watches life at the capital with a twinkle of the eye, and is not one bit afraid to give you her impressions of it. Her viewpoint and her frankness in stating it are typical of the un-conventionality un-conventionality and the freshness of' vision of the western woman. Perhaps the constant reading of the newspapers of the country contributes con-tributes to this breadth of vision. Senator Poindexter's wife is an inveterate invet-erate reader, not only of the newspapers news-papers published in Washington and n her iative state of Washington, but throughout the entire nation. She robably keeps as close tab on the pulse of public sentiment as does any man in national politics. She likes political debate, and is always an interested inter-ested listener in the senate gallery when a big issue is under discussion on the floor. All of which sounds like the most advanced type of new woman. |
