Montana Sends First Woman to U. S. Congress.

Miss Jeanette Rankin, of Missoula, Mont., has been elected to the national congress and will be the first woman to grace that legislative body. She is an ardent suffragist. Her campaign managers are claiming that her majority exceeds 2,000. Miss Rankin is a republican. She will have as colleagues 434 men and will probably do her full share of the talking.
