pkkd. c. Mrczorcrt, Attorney for Mortgngeo. kUJ.ji I 14-21 is In be Huntington Woman Reported to Be Candidate for Seat in Assembly. MRS.

UTT IS ACTIVE LEADER. Getting Republican Enrollments From Women Strange Non-Party Activities. Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. June 7 Mrs. Ida B.

Sammis of Huntington, as a candidate for Assembly next fall, is the interesting political announcement that Mrs. Ruth Litt of Patchogue. auxiliary chairman of the Republican County Committee, brought to River- head, Saturday afternoon, according to gossip around the rooms ot the Board of Elections. What is considered a strange part of the announcement is in the fact that no one seems to know Just what Mrs. Sammis' politics is.

or what po litical banner she will run undef, it any. Some think that she may run entirely independent of any party and adopting a woman's prerogative of giving no reason for not associating herself with any of the present parties. Mrs. Sammis is a very prominent woman in Huntington. She has been most active in suffrage work and in W.

C. T. U. circles. It Is claimed that her public utterances and written messages to the public show her to be of superior mentality and mighty well versed in government matters.

In fact many men admit that she would make an ideal Assemblyman. It is believed now that if she develops considerable strength the Democrats may adopt her as their candidate, believing that she would prove so popular with the women voters and many of the men that she could defeat Assemblyman Henry A. Murphy, whom the Republicans are expected to renominate. The fact too, that there will be women enrolled In the Town of Huntington than men Is considered to give added impetus to Mrs. Sammis candidacy or, rather, to her possibility of election for the big enrollment of women from Huntington is claimed to show what sne can do when she "gets out and works" and the fact that the women In that town are deeply interested in voting.

The enrollment of women in the Second Assembly District, which is in the western part of the county, is much heavier than in the First District Nearly every town in the Second District is showing Up strong in women enrollment, the Board of Elections says. In one batch Saturday afternoon Mrs. Litt brought in 1,100 enrollment blanks, all from the western part of the county. It was understood, too, that several other big batches of blanks, all filled out, were to follow those, and it looked late Saturday as though the estimate of 6,000 enrolled women would be swelled to 7,600. It is claimed, too, that some of the "lady politicians," as they are called, have been doing some politically queer things.

Some of them, who started out to be -rabid Republicans, have actually even urged Democratic women to enroll. If this was done by a man politician, he would be Immediately read out of his party and shunned as an "undesirable citizen." The women, however, have been getting away with it. Mrs. Litt known as the auxiliary chairman of the G. O.

had many Democratic blanks among the last big batch of 1,100 that she brought to the Board of Elections late Saturday. It isn't believed now that the G. O. P. will take any notice of such an unpardonable sin at this time, because they realize that the women are just learning the game.

The understanding here is that the women workers finally decided to make a house-to-house canvass, requesting the women to enroll, regardless of politics, so as to make a good showing the first year that they are entitled to vote, ana so as to get them sincerely interested at once in political matters, believing that later they will settle memseives in wie on- ferent parties. There are some who hold, however, that the women are still feeling quite independent over the ballot and may stick auite closely to women candi dates regardless of faith, and this has apparently given credence to rumors that there may be more than one woman candidate for public office in Suffolk next fall, and that there may be an out-and-out women's party. There is no doubt that the different rumors and the activity of the women of'the past few days has stirred up the men politicians considerably, ana nei ther one of the old parties is quite certain, after ull, that it knows where It is at regarding the women. Referring back to the possible can didacy of Mrs. Sammis, the Democrats claim that Assemblyman Murphy has sensed the situation and is making such a strong effort to offset it that he has actually got the wives of some strong Democrats yes, even wives of Democratic county committeemen to enroll as Republicans so they can help him out in the primary if their votes should.be needed.
