the members of the local Equal Fran
chise society, neither will boss-ism
be permitted Militant tactics are

carried out in lady.like way, the
local suffragettes have declared war
upon the following of Ann Martin OF
Reno Miss Martin was recently
elected president of the state Equal

the fact that Mrs Hugh Brown, a
delegate to the first convention, was
elected as second vice president of
the organization
Mrs. Brown and Mrs Clay Tall
man were delegates to the meeting
and Mrs. Tallman returned and sub
mitted majority report, which was
adopted. Mrs. Brown, who returned
but few days ago, has not submit
ted report, although her stand was
directly opposite to that of Mrs
Tallman. The repGrt OF Mrs. Tall
man was a scathing denuneiation OF
the high-handed tactics of Miss Mar
