Its i highest ascendancy in American
history today when Mrs. W. H--Pelton,
the "grand "old woman - of Georgia.
was formally seated aa a full fledged
senator of the United States. She la
the first woman senator ever to take
the oath of office on the floor of the
senate. . ', : t ;
Mr.'- Felton won her senatorship
when chivalry triumphed over legality.
