Perhaps never before in his- toiy haye wives such an important role in a Presidential four of the candidates' wives are pitching in hard to see their husbands elected. And, without fear of contraction, it can certainly be said that all four have proven to be assets. Since women increasingly take on a greater role in politics it seems only natural that the female half of the family should be fully represented on the campaign trail. People frequently judge accidents as much by the wives they select as any other qualification he may posses. So the wives are trying hard to make a good impression, they are succeeding.
