That is the woman that is running for congress from the fourth district. She is not a masculine person and is first ol all a gentlewoman, marked by her delightful spon- taniety of wit und sparkle. “Home always comes first to me,” Mrs. Owen says. — She said that she was not going out of the home into politics and was inter- ested in politics as one in larger home keeping. Mrs. Owen has ‘spent years in Miami and has been closely identified with inter in the state. Her special interest is to see the development of property in Florida from an. agricultural standpoint. Before the state can become the great place that it is destined to be, there should be Preparation for experiments of agricultural products, she believes. Her mother remembers, even when she was a little girl, Ruth Bryan was vitally interested in politics. When she was seven years old, her father was in con- gress. At twelve years, she knew the platforms of both political parties. The question is often asked what interests women. in polities, Mrs. Owen said. “I believe that it isthe atmosphere in which one grows up.” $ Admitted to Bar Her mother was admitted to the bar 88 years ago when Ruth was a baby. Her mother passed one of the finest legal examinations and was consulting lawyer to her father. Having grown up under such home conditions, it is more readily understood how Ruth Bryan Owen should turn to poli- ties and public life.

When Mrs. Owen announced her candidacy, the club women of Mi- ami organied for the purpose of getting the votes registered. They divided the city into. precincts, bank district, certain residential districts, etc., and the votes regis- tered in the beginning totaled 8,000 and the final count — was 14,000, She stated that she would per- sonally supervise the needs of the different counties and that once a year would come back and sum up legislation for the year past. Mrs. Owen said that previously there had been the lack of that personal touch, which accomplishes more than anything else. igh school students. should be addvessed and would become inter: ested in polities when not spoken to in a non-partisan way.

NEGRO SHOWN WAY OUT OF TOWN TODAY Criss Cooper, the stray negro who was arrested here and lodged in the county jail under the charge of shameful conduct and annoying a white woman on one of the principal streets of the city, was arraigned in criminal court before Judge J. Vining Harris this fore- noon. Solicitor J. F. Busto announced that the nervous condition of the woman who was annoyed by thig negro is such that she cannot ap- pear in court, and since shé is the material witness, the case could not be properly prosecuted with- out her. Judge Harris then told the negro that he had been held in jail as long as the law allowed with- out a trial, and that he would have to release him. “I am not letting you go because I want to,” the judge said, “but because the law requires me to, The officers have told me why you have been held on the charge of vagrancy.
