Lady Candidate

Many things fill the mind, take the time of busy Mrs. Anna Thomsen Milburn of Seattle: gardening, charity work, symphonic music, society women's rights. Says Mrs. Milburn pungently: "Mentality is neither male nor female." But what makes Mrs. Milburn really furrow her brow is money.

But it is an academic subject that fascinates her. There is nothing she loves better than to read a book or give a lecture on the evils of money as it is administered today. According to her sister, Mrs. Frederick Sundt, of Seattle, Mrs. Milburn has it in for Montagu Norman and other bankers and thinks that they, as middlemen, should be eliminated. Four years ago Mrs. Milburn joined the Greenback Party, which advocates the withdrawal of all gold and silver certificates, substitution of paper money backed not by bullion but by "faith." She was listed in the The Honest Money Year Book of 1040. This year, when the party decided to put a Presidential candidate in the field, they tapped Mrs. Milburn for the job.
