ing department of labor with Sec
rotary in the cabinet.
Mr.. Sulzer was elected governor of
New York in 1912 by the greatest plu-
rality ever given a candidate for gov
ernOr in that state. He was impeach-
ed by the notorious Tammany legis-
lature of that year by a majority Of
two votes. Of the seventy-two Demo-
Gratis who voted against him, only
seventeen were reelected, and all
seven Republicans who voted against
him were defeated at the next elec-
ton. Mr.. SulZer then was elected to
the legislature again. AS the candi.
date of the Prohibition and American
parties for governor in 1914 he re-
ceived $4,000 votes.
Governor Sulzer is a "Commoner''
through and through. The more you
know about him-the more you study
him at close range-the more you like
him and the more you will appreciate
what he has done, and glory in his
trials and his triumphs. He needs no
eulogy. His career of struggle for
higher and better things from a poor
farm boy to the governorship of the
greatest state in the Union is an epic
poem. His illegal removal from that
office forms one of the blacklist chap
tiers in the history of New York state,
and his vindication at the hands of the
people in his reelection to the legisla.
ture and his defeat of the Tammany
gang in the last two elections in New
York proves that his faith in the com.
mon people has not been misplaced.
Mr.. Sulzer is of large stature, stand.
ing over six feet in height, with a
weight of 1885 pounds which he carries
with the grace of trained athlete.
He has sandy hair and steel blue eyes
that look straight into yours, and read
your innermost thoughts. His nomi.
nation for president by the Prohibi.
tionists will be the signal of the great.
est advance in the party's history.

"Sulzer and Success" is the CAM
paign slogan of that wing of the Pro-
hibition party in Minnesota which
wants to see the former governor of
New York as the standard bearer of
the Prohibition party this year. The
Sulzer advocates feel confident that
no other man can poll the vote that
can the New York man. His name is
already household word in every
state in the Union and in the public
mind is the synonym for "the man
who stands for principle regardless of
consequences" His brave fight
against the corrupt Tammany gang
in New York has won him fame and
respect all over the country.
Ex-Governor William Sulzer of New
York is of German, Dutch and Scotch
Irish ancestry. Although entering the
New York legislature at twenty-six
years of age, he soon became widely
known as an advocate of social, po-
litical and economic reforms, such as
the abolishing of the sweat shops and
Imprisonment for debt, establishing
freedom of workship, abolishing cor
poral punishment in prisons, limiting
the hours of labor and establishing
womans reformatory. All of these
bills introduced by Mr.. Sulzer became
laws. He was elected speaker of the
assembly in 1893. The following year
he was elected to congress, where he
remained for eighteen years, being
80 author during that time of more
::han twenty-five bills embodying pro-
gressive legislation. When chairman
of the house committee on foreign at.
fairs he opposed Intervention in the
affairs of Mexico at the time when
President Taft modified American
troops on the Texas border. Fore
most among his achievements in 1912
was the passage Of his bill establish

VIVA SUFFRAGE HAS DONE FOR CALIFORNIA

AT the Leisure Hour club Mrs. Rose Berry, during
her recent visit in Carson, was asked to tell what effect
woman suffrage had had in California.
Mrs. Berry said that at first many women, like
herself, were utterly b~ewildered and knew not which
way to turn. Gradually order came ont OF cnaos and
the women set about informing themselves on public
matters.
At the present time it is not a question of what
woman suffrage has done for California in the way OF
making and repeating laws, but what woman suffrage
has done for the women themselves. This Mrs. Berry
illustrated by saying that the head Of a fashionable Los
Angeles manicure parlor. was asked what she knew of
the workings OF woman suffrage in that city. She SAID
that it used to be that after a visit from three or four
of her patrons she knew all the gossip OF their socia!
set, of their neighborhoods and homes, the parties they
had attended, what this one wore, what that one sad,
etc. Now, when these same women visit her parlOrs,
they discuss civic and state affairs-sanita conditions,
better streets and roads, pure food laws. or how will
certain candidates for political prelerment stand on this
or that reform measure?
From other California sources it is learned that the
right to vote has done as much, if not more, for the
housewife and working woman. 1t has broadened their
horizon and given them something to think of beyond
the petty grind of daily toll.
If the ballot will do as much for the women OF Ne
vada we, who had suffrage wished upon us at the hast
election. will have cause to bless the broader outlook
