WASHINGTON. July 27.--A dclcga-
ton Of Virginia suffragettes called
upon Representative Carlin. Of Vir-
ginia. to-day at his office in the House
Office Building and made Il unique
plea for his support OF an amendment
to the Federal Constitution removing
the sex qualification as a right to
vote.
These suffragettes. after urging gen.
eral reasons why women should share
In politics. followed up their pleading
with the argument that equal suffrage
would remedy the deplorable state of
affairs which permits too many live
ducks and chickens transported In the
laps Of street-car passengers in the
state. This argument was new and
novel. even in suffrage propogandizing.
and for IL time II fiabbergasted the Vir-
glnia Congressman.
One of the things we might remedy"
said one of the women speakers. "is
just this: / live in Virginia, and am
lucky when 1 travel there In an cleo
trio car TO have only a leg Of mutton
In my lap Too often it Is live
chicken or live duck. That is not a

cnickens and ducks had some place TO

TO the delegation that equal suffrage
would receive his support when ma
Jority Of the intelligent women of his
district indicated that they wanted to
participate in politics. He intimntcd
mat ne had not been convinced that
