Demure Mrs. ‘Shay’ Minton Is ‘Silent Partner’ as Husband Seeks Election

“ A L.MOST a rubber-stamp , iY Democrat." That s the label that Mrs. Sherman Minton, wife of the Democratic candidate tor United States senator from Indiana, places on herself. She's an ardent admirer of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a firm believer in the principles of NRA. an earnest part of the audience of the campaign speech of her husband—but she plans to take no part in that campaign. “I'm just a silent partner." she says with the same charming smile which won the heart of Shay" Minion when they were high school students together. Mrs. Minton is accustomed to hearing her husband speak in public. She heard him in high school debates. She listened to him in addresses for his fraternity. She slipped in amongst a crowd which he was addressing several years ago and heard his speech then without his knowing that she was present. But she is enjoying the tarnpaign speeches which he makes now with the same enthusiasm and pride which she felt in those first speeches in high school days. nun DOES she agree with everything Mr. Minton says? "Well, yes—politically," she concedes. again with a smile. And Mr. Minton hastens to say that aside from politics, she s a very agreeable and congenial companion. "I think it would be quite disastrous for any married couple to have differing political views," Mrs. Minton says seriously. "Particularly if the husband is connected in any way with political work.” Mrs. Minton keeps a scrapbook of her husband's publicity and looks forward to the possibility of residence in Washington with enthusiasm. "IH probably be like Mrs. Samuel M. Ralston, if Mr. Minton is elected, and we do live in Washington. however." she says, referring to the wife of the former senator. "When w f e were wuth her the other evening, she told us of her first return to Indiana, after moving to Washington. “ 'l'm so tired of doing without home cooking,’ she told her husband. ‘The first thing when I get home. I'm going to make a very juicy berry pie.’ "I don't know whether I could qualify to make the pie, but I’ll probably want one.” Questioned about her opinion of .Senator Arthur R. Robinson, Mrs. Minton w’as reticent. “You see, Ive never met Mr. Robinson." she says. “I have read a lot about him in the papers, but—well, you know, they haven't been very complimentary. But I read papers which mostly are Democratic, so that may account for that." DRUGGIST FOUND~SLAIN NEAR SUMMER RESORT Victim's Body Found on Lonely Connecticut Road. By t nited Pn PORTLAND.
