NEW YORK LEGISLATURE
HAS A GIRL LOBBYIST.
She Helped to Ger Woman Suffrage In
Washington and California.

When the New York state legislature
opened in Albany there was much spec
ulation concerning the girl lobbyist"
whom the New York suffragettes have
chosen to represent them during the
current session. The legislators. new
and old, looked with curiosity upon
Miss Jeannette Rankin. the Montana
girl who is filing this diplomatic role,
and voiced their approval of the choice.
FOR Miss Rankin is blessed with very
pleasing personality and that very rare
gift of tact which always soothes and
never irritates.
Heretofore it has been the custom
for the various suffrage societies to
take headquarters in Albany. but the
presence of so many lobbyists resulted
in more or less confusion. But with
this very attractive Montana girl, who
is already the heroine of two suffrage
victories. in Washington and CalifOr
MIA, in the field to plead the cause there
is strong feeling among the ranks
that the bill may go through.
Miss Rankin's appointment came
through the recently organized coop
erative committee. composed Of presi-
dents Of the New York State Suffrage
association. the Women's Political I'M
ion, the Mems Suffrage league and the
Equal Franchise society. and, while
there has been some feeling expressed
among New York suffragists that
Montana girl should have been select
ed for this diplomatic mission rather
than one who is familiar with the stu
alton in the Empire State, on the other
hand all are willing to acknowledge
that her experience in states where
suffrage victories have been made will
be of great value.
Although Miss Rankin is the daugh-
ter Of Missoula (Nont) banker and
was educated in the west, she is more
or less familiar with New York. since
she was graduated from the School Of
Philanthropy there, later finding posi-
ton In Seattle as "baby placer" but
she soon decided that this was not her
mission and that fighting for the suf-
frage cause was, SO she joined the
ranks of women who want the ballot.
Not only did she organize the Wash
ington campaign, but she stumped the
state in the cause without remunera-
ton.
