Republican State Committee
Vice Chairman Often Toils
Twelve Hours Daily
VARIED ACTIVITIES
CONSUME HER TIME
Play With Grandchildren
Prelude te Starting
Routine at Office
IT IS quite an ordinary-looking deer this deer alongside which hangs a
square plaque with the words, "Headquarters Republican State Com
mittee." But there is nothing ordinary about the room behind the deer', or
the woman who sits behind the big mahogany desk and occupies the
unique position of vice chairman of the Republican State Committee.
Frem 8:80 in the morning often until 8:80 at night, Mrs. Barclay
H. Warburton wrestles with political problems, suggesting, directing,
consulting. A ten-hour day means nothing te her, and often her working
day is continued for two mere hours at election time.
As vice chairman of the Repub
lican Committee, Mrs. Warburton,
who was Mary B. Wanamaker,
holds her first political office. She
was appointed by Governer Sproul
about two years age as head of
the Republican women of Pennsyl
tania, and her first public office
of any kind was her presidency of
the Emergency Aid, which she helped
te organize in 1914, an office she
has held since she succeeded the
first president, Mrs. A. J. Cassatt.
An indefatigable worker of ac
knowledged ability fill ever the
country, Mrs. Warburton has gained
acclaim from her friends and party
adherents for the part she played
in the primary election; the unfail
ing energy and enthusiasm and time
which she devotes te her party; her
vote-n-straight-ticket policy; her
practical politics as contrasted with
that of se many women's vague un
derstanding of conditions; her splen
did leadership,, and the work whish
the has done te obtain for the Re
publican women of Pennsylvania
equal representation with the men.
It is nt 8 o'clock that the alarm
gees off for Mrs. Warburton, for
the precious moments are flying
and there is work te be done.
But first even before breakfast
she steals a few minutes te play
with her two little grandchildren
Rosemary and Barclay, 3d chil
dren of Mrs. Warburton's son, Bar
clay Warburton, Jr.
There is nothing of the capable
business woman, clever politician in
her manner then she is just
"grandmother" as she opens her
arms wide te held the chubby eight-month-old
Barclay and two-and-a-half-ycar-eld
dainty, fairy-like bit
of a Rosemary.
The happiest moments of the day,
probably and surely it must be the
memory of them which smiles in her
eyes, even when her lips are gravely
set and her attention bent en the
pile of work en her desk.
Then breakfast, and afterward a
visit te her father before she begins

Checking up en the day's engagements

100 Letters a Day Are
Signed "M. Warburton"
At least a hundred letters a day must
be answered. And "M. Warburton"
is signed te each of the Utters, for a
personal signature is one thing upon
which Mrs. Warburton Insists.
On the ether three days Mrs. War
burton is at her office by 0 or 0:80,
attends te her correspondence) and leeks
ever the dozens of telephone slips and
meeages which are en her desk.
And before the correspondence is
through, there is a meeting or a series
of committee conferences te attend,
telegrams te send, telephone calls which
mtifct have her personal attention.
"Hew nm I ever going te get through
tills day?" groaned Mrs. Warburton
recently an fhe sank into a chair,
(lulling quizzically at the stack of
letters she had net yet been able te

She had Just returned from a Finance
Commit tee meeting which had occu
pied most of the morning and was talk

miMtibers of the committee from Wilkes

"Every woman must vet
today," is the pica of Mrs. Bar
clay Warburton, vice chairman of
the State Republican Committee.
"After breakfast go and vote,"
might be taken a the slogan of
the woman advocating the policy
of "the woman next deer," in
which each pledgee herself te call
by telephone or in person the
woman in the house next te her,
asking her te de the same thing,
thereby establishing an endless
chain of "Have yeti voted to
day?" After breakfast, and Mr. Hus
band gees te work, Mrs. Veter
should go te the polls.
Then when she returns she can
straighten her house, and de
ether duties till neon. Then,
ivith the dishes from lunch put
away, Mrs. Veter should again
put en her hat and take a friend
or two te the polls te cast their
vote.
By dinner time she is ready te
discuss the political situation
with her husband, and if he hat
notjyetcd, persuade him te.
When they both return, the
radio will bring them the returns.
A busy time, election day, for
the women.
"Vete, by all means," says Mrs.
Warburton, "and," she adds,
"vote it straight."
Se many places te go, se many engagements te be filled, Mrs. Warburton must keep her car

she said.
Believes lieth in Heme
and Law-Making
It was an old woman who requested
that Mrs. Warburton get her some
pieces uf silk for epiiltH. Mrs. War War
burten consented, but said that Bhe
could get her many mere of cotton than
she could silk.
"Ne. thank jeu," replied the sup
pliant. "1 would prefer silk or velvet."
1 se suit and velvet it Is, nnd Mrs. War
I burten periodically sends the samples

Incidentally, tee, she is supervising
the building of her new home in I'alm
Itench, inukliu n hurried tilp last
month te see that the plans ,te be.

"It s a problem,' sas Mis. War War

are grown and I can devote my time
elsewhere.
"A woman's place 1b. after nil, In
the hen.e with tier cnuurcn, nut. en
the ether hand, the laws of the State
and the country affect her children, nnd
I think she should tnke an active part
In making these laws. It is her duty
te pee that men who will enforce the
best laws for the children's wclfare
are elected te office. Her duty te her
children Is both a public and a private
one, and If she neglects cither ehe Is
harming her children.
"But it is a problem," she sighed.
"Yeu should net neglect your home te
occupy public office, I think, but you
should always de all jeu can, nnd you
can de mere, of course, as you are re
lieved of some responsibility by the
growth of your children."
Tcrsens who don't vote haven't much
of a place In Mrs. Warburton's mind.
"Yeu knew In Ilnuil," she said,
"there Ih a system by which every ene
who does net vete Is taxed. I wish
that idea were ejiferced in this coun
try. It would be a geed thing, I think,
because it would feicn lets of persons

That women will take an active part
In prnctlcal politics is the fend bellet
of Mrs. Wnrbuiten, though the par-,
tlcipntien will be gradual and come;
only with the education of the mass of"
wen. en voters, thinks this most prac-l

There is n certain picturesque!

one of the women in Jut office de
ducing, ' She Is the kindest and most

Influenced Many Women
te Ge te the Polls j
Mrs. Warburton Is ie.ponsible for
"the woman next deer" idea which lins
spread se rapidly. She does net con-'
line her wetk te de-k work, limit hen
enthusiasm when It entails hard werk.l
Many of the women who registered nmt'
many who go te the polls today, It 1

Warburton. '
"Vete the straight ticket," slie cries.!
"That shows she's, get sense, " mild'
