WOMEN ADD COLOR | 0 JERSEY BATTLE Mrs. Morrow, Miss Fort and Miss Frelinghuysen Have Individual Traits. BY LORENA A. HICKOK. By the Associated Pres: NEWARK, N. J. June 14—Out of her most colorful Republican senatorial primary contest, now approaching its climax, New Jersey smilingly arises to present three astute and picturesque campaigners. Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow, America’s most famous mother-in-law, who has told the women of New Jersey not to wish her luck, because as the wife of Candidate Morrow she already has it. Miss Margretta Fort, sister of Can- didate Franklin W. Fort, daughter of one Governor of New Jersey, grand- niece of another and herself a former Assemblywoman, who likes to be called “just a hard-boiled politician.” Emily Frelinghuysen, daughter of Candidate Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, just 20 and & college junior, who goes about industrial centers making campaign &peeches in Italian, h has her own way of helping her eandidate, and they are not in the least alike. Does Not Talk Politics. Mrs, Morrow has not made a single #peech about politics. Instead she has told the women about her home and ber children and what a fine man her husband is. Miss Fort has made speeches—good, sound talks, born of a skill acquired by & politically minded daughter of a fam- dly that has been prominently identified with New Jersey politics for nearly 100 years. But the job Miss Fort likes best is organizing her brother’s campaign. Ard “Miss Emily,” as she is called @round Prelinghuysen headquarters, be- sides making speeches both in Italian and in English, has done all sorts of things in this compaign. “The newspapers,” she said today, “seem to be so interested in Mr. Mor- Tow becoming a grandfather. Well, my dad’s going to be a grandfather, too. My sister Victoria—Mrs. J. Grenville g\:}tz.}. jr—is going to have a baby in y.” Lived Within Budget. Mrs. Morrow's campaign is unique. Bhe is not the kind of candidate's wife who has her picture taken bak- ing apple ples. She has let it be known that in all the 27 years of her married life she never baked any pies of any kind. Even when Dwight W. Morrow and his bride were paying only $35 a month rent for a little house in Engle- wood and could not afford to have a telephone. They had a maid. “We had a budget, t00,” said Mri Morrow. “And we lived within it.” Mrs. Morrow's speeches have been | frank and at times quite intimate. She | has talked mostly about her home, de- scribed little incidents in her family life and told the women of her flights | gver Mexico City with her noted son-in- w. “The most superb speech about| Dwight W. Morrow will never be made,” &he told one group of women, “for the cruel campaign managers forbid me to talk. But I have known him for 37 years, and for 27 years I have been his Wife. I know more of his merits than | any one else, perhaps.” Refers to His Wife. Ambassador Morrow has frequently | said in his s hes: “Don’'t jus me by myself, but by my wife.” Miss Fort was, as she puts it herself, | “in rather a tight squeeze” at the | beginning of this campaign. She was & member of the Morrow committee and | Tode in the parade on the day Am- bassador Morrow declared over the radio his views on the -eighteenth amendment. Miss Fort resigned from the Morrow committee and went to work on her brother’s behalf. . She was brought up on politics, and | she thinks it is the greatest game in | Chicago. the world. She used to write politics | for a New Jersey paper, but she gave it up after her brother got into Con- and became a close friend of ident Hoover. “The public, not knowing that the Yort family do not always agree on E:iflfll matters, might have assumed | it I was voicing opinions,” she | said, “and that would embarrass him.” Emily Frelinghuysen was a little girl when her father was in the United States Senate and a friend of President | Harding. | “Awfully Nice to Dog.” | “Mr. Harding came up to visit us| ence at Far Hills,” she said. “But I| don't remember much about it, except that he was awfully nice to my dog.” She is now a student at Barnard College, tall and willow, with red gold bair and deep blue eyes. “Miss Emily” has made two speeches #n Italian, one in Jersey City and one n South Orange. “I talked longest in South Orange,” she said. “Once, when I got excited and started stumbling all over the words and going pretty fast, an old man sit- ting down in the front row called out in I 5 an Calm down, missy, calm down!” In that speech I taiked mostly about how dad would try to do something | sbout the unemployment situation, but | I did tell them that, if they sent him | to the Senate, he would try to give back to them their glass of wine. “The papers all used that, and noth- fng at all, of course, about the unem- ployment part.
