Miss Hattie Stein, of Charleston, is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress against the present encumbent, L. S. Echols. The following is received from her campaign headquarters in Charleston:

“Miss Hattie Stein, who signed affidavit of announcement as a candidate to represent the sixth district of Congress expects to win solely on her merits and equipment as a woman and as an American to worthily represent this important district in the Congress of the United States. She hopes her constituents will take her record of achievement with a very limited opportunity as an index of what she may be able to accomplish if the people of the sixth district will vote their confidence to give her this bigger opportunity to work for their best interests—governmentally, politically, industriously, socially. Her candidacy is motivated by a love of service and a normal ambition to have a voice in the constructive legislation of her country. She is a free lands—has no friends to reward and no enemies to punish—so can fight with all the strength of which she is capable for the welfare of her constituency.

“Miss Stein feels that if there are six representatives in Congress that there is certainly a place for one woman. While she will not dodge ano[sic] issues that concern either men or women—biologically and tempermentally is equipped to focus on legislation that concerns women and children—physical and mental education, child labor, and equal work for men and women.

“Miss Stein is rooting for the service man—soldier, sailor and marine. She is not only for the bonus bill but for the liberal interpretation of every case of compensation. If there is ay doubt, let the boy who fought for us have the benefit rather the U.S. Treasury.

“Miss Stein wants her district to have good roads not only as a matter of civic pride and utilitarian advantage but good roads mean better attendance at school and at church.

“This woman candidate also thinks about a man’s questions. For example—the office of sheriff should be divided into two offices. A man may be a good police officer and a poor fiscal agent or vice versa. The taxpayers have a right to have the money paid as taxes expended judiciously.

“Miss Stein believes that a representative should be most vitally interested in the most vital problem in his or her district, and it is unanswerable that labor is the most important question in this district. Labor from all angles and in every phase. Unemployment is the most human factor in the field of economics. If the breadwinner is out of work the whole family suffers.”
