Virginia Suffrage ASSoCi-
alton in Campaign.
HIGH CALIBRE MEN ENLIST
State Officials, Senators. CIer-

ness are Represented.

The West Virginia Equal Suffrage
Association, which is waging such
vigorous fight for the pending amend
ment TO the state constitution, has
as good as won its battle if the class
Of people behind the movement is any
criterion. BY now almost every one
knows the fine character OF the wo-
men who are engaged in the fight
for equal suffrage, but very little has
yet been said about the large number
Of representative men who are lend
Ing every aid to the cause"
Never in the history OF the state
has any organization had behind it
SO fine group of leading men as
that composing the Advisory Board
Of the state organization. The list
embraces the present and former gov
errors Of West Virginia, United
States and state senators, judges,
heads of higher educational institu-
lions, members of the bar. the clergy,
business men and city officials
The mere names of these men
constitute a tower of strength, and
when it is realized that they have
enlisted for the campaign" and that
their energies will be devoted to Sc
curing the passage Of the amend
nent, success cannot be doubted
To the Indifferent, the unbeliever
and those with open minds the names
On this Advisory Board are a reyela-
lion. The fact that men OF such
.alibre are willing to lend their sup
port to the movement must be pow
srful argument IN its favor
The board has as its chairman
Hon. ]. C. McWhorter, Of Buckhan-
non, the prominent Upshur county
jurist, who is rendered valued assist
ance by the following gentlemen:
