CAMPAIGN IN STATE Is
MAPPED OUT BY WOMEN

MATTED OUT BY WOMEN
Managers of the Woman's party
are ready to conduct a thorough and
systematic campaign in every county
of the state from now until election
day. To enable organizers to have
facts at hand for every situation
campaign text book has been prepar-
ed which furnishes not only a his
tory of every Democratic congress-
man who must be opposed because of
the opposition of his party to nation
al woman suffrage, but also the fig
ures of the presidential and congress
sional elections for years back in ev-
Eery district of the state. Through
study of election returns party
managers have decided how their
forces must be distributed where eff
fort must be concentrated to defeat
President Wilson and the Democratic
candidates for the senate and house
in this state
The workers of the Woman's party
who are already in Nevada are: Miss
Anne Martin, the national chairman
of the party, Miss Mabel Vernon, the
national secretary, Miss Alice Henkle
of Chicago and Miss Sara Grant of
st, Paul MINI. During the last
weeks OF the campaign speakers of
national prominence will speak in
the principal towns of the state to
bring Nevada women voters the ap-
! peal to stand for the principle of ma
tional woman suffrage rather than
for the interests of any national po-
/ litical party. 1t is Miss Grants par
ticular mission i'll the campaign to
explain how impossible it is for the
women of 20 states to get suffrage
by amending state constitutions. AT
an open air meeting held at Second
and Virginia streets Saturday night
Miss Grant said:
/ "When President Wilson insists
that the only way for women to win
enfranchisement is by the state
method he condemns them to what
he knows is a long and fruitless
struggle. Working by the states
women must overcome not only al
the opposition of the forces drawn
up against woman suffrage but in
surmountable constitutional Difficult
ties In my own state of Minnesota
have not merely a majority of tn,
: votes cast on the measure itself bu
: majority of all those cast at til,
:. election We will never win a suf
/ frage amendment under such condi
tions. The women of 20 states are il
: hopeless condition.
"The only hope of the unenfran
? chised women of the country Is Il
amendment to the constitution of th
I United States. We therefore come t
, western women voters to appeal {
1 them to use their political power t
$ help procure the passage of thi
t amendment. They can do it by SHOW
e ing all political parties that wome
: will not give their votes to a part
t which has used it's power to bloc
= the national suffrage amendnen
e That is the reason we are now ash
s ing women to withhold their suppc,
0 from President Wilson and the Den
ocratic candidates for senate an
t house from this state.'
