ELOQUENT SUFFRAGE PLEA

O'Clock last night while a fair young
suffragist was speaking from an au-
tomobile at the corner of City Hall
avenue and CRANKY street, young
sailor stepped up to the car and asked
permission to speak to the crowd.
The pretty adherent OF the suffrage
cause resigned In his favor, and the
big stalwart fellow stood up in the
automobile and made one of the
strongest suffrage speeches heard in
Norfolk in many months.
In a very few moments he had
attracted a large crowd around him
and the interest was intense. The
sailor. bearing the yeoman's insig-
MIA on his sleeve. was evidently a
college man with oratorical powers
strongly developed. He spoke with
easy grace and poise and with the
authority and logic Of an experienced
lawyer. He paid the most beautiful
tribute to women. whom, he asserted,
were behind every worthy movement
