 MAKE LAST APPEAL
(From Fridays D&ily.)

 Preparations for the final great
 Woman's party rallies, to be held in
 every section of this State at the end
 of this month, are going forward with vim. Men and women of all parties
 arc taking the keenest interest in
 these final demonstrations of the vot-
 ing strength of women because they
 bring to Arizona for the first time in ! her feminine history that leading
 feminist and suffrage beauty, Inez
 Milholland Boissevain, of New York
 City. This widely-known young wom-
 an brings to the 12 suffrage States the final message of the voteless women
 of the East: Suffrage first; defeat the
 national Democratic party.
 It IS seldom in this practical coun- try that a young woman wins her first fame merely because of her
 beauty. Beauties become almost pro
 fessional across the water, and you
 can buy their pictures in every Lon-
 don shop. Inez Milholland has fought
 against this easy notoricty. It was in
 her Vassar college days that Inez
 Milholland, from the first, feminist
 rebel, became celebrated for her
 classical beauty. She wanted to shine
 because of her brains and personality
 She was mentioned first as beauty"
 Even a few years ago suffrage agita- ton was taboo in the Eastern fem mine colleges. Inez Milholland was the young woman at Vassar who evaded the rules of the college as to suffrage speeches by giving her fel low-students object demonstrations with tiny models in eloquent dumb show. She was the college originator of "voiceless speaking"
 When she took up law, graduating from the New York Law University, her reputation as beauty again stood in her way No matter how eloquent or how dryly technical were her 1t was her beauty that was first Inez Milholland will | tell you that mere looks can more ef- | Actively stand in the way of a clever | feminist in these days than any other | one asset. Always a suffragist first and professional woman afterward | she was the brilliant symbolic figure of victory on horseback, in silver mail and with floating purple cloak; sine came to be identified with picturesque instead of close and ardu- ous work in law offices. In short, brilliant orator and clear-cut thinker though she IS, 1t is her purely fem mine gift that is still mentioned first.
 Even when she married Eugene Boissevain a Dutchman, and lost her American citizenship, it was impossi- )le for the public to associate this in ,orrigible young feminist with mere She is still 'Inez Mil the suffrage beauty" to the 'ast number of newspaper and maga- .ine readers.
 Mrs. Boissevain's three great meet ngs in Arizona will be held in Phoe- lix. in Tucson and in Prescott, and will draw to them many men and :. vomen from the surrounding towns, <. nxious to hear this final incisive ap- eal from one of the best known of he radical suffrage leaders in the , ountry News of the meetings will C e thoroughly spread over the State, } lrs.
