Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1913-01-08

THE auintessence of wisdom was
in the advice of DIR. Mary 1ialton 10
The young girls who have taken -
the suffrage banner in New York,
when she urged them to be as femi-
nine as they knew how to be. to
wear frilly clothes and becomina,
hats and earrings so as not to look
strong-minded" when making APP
peals to men for support of the SUI
frage measure.
A mans eye is usually the seat OF
his Judgment in disposing Of a wo-
mans plea, and the Bostonian type
fails TO appeal strongly. a smile, a
Touch Of rogue and sparkling eyes
carry far more weight in convincing
men that women should be enfran
chised than all the arguments that
could be assembled setting forth
their abilities or rights antitling
them to the privilege OF voting.
