Gentleman From Geor.
gia' Is Proud Of His
Honor
BY RUTH E. FINLEY

! ID NJ II L. AlNLG
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-He claims tc
be the bravest man in the whole
United States. does Leonard J.
Grossman, of Atlanta, Georgia.
FOR
He was the only man delegate to
fifty-frst convention of the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association!
He's handsome young bachelor
of less than 35 summersl
And it's leap year!!
No Chance To Be Lonely.
at really does take quite a lot
of nerve" he admitted, with a
twinkle in his eyes. There's 1000
of 'em, you know. And one man
feels pretty lonesome among 1000
Uomenp'
but the women have not allowed
ki9n to be reilly loLeIy, no. they!
He's the center of attraction on the
floor and the pride of the women on
the platform.
TIE gentleman from Georgia"
has been an ardent suffragist ever
since he was born, SO he says, but it
was III 1912 that he became general
counsel for the Georgia Woman's
Suffrage Association. 1t is this body
that he officially represents at the ma
tional convention.
81 am far prouder to represent the
women of Georgia at suffrage con-
vention than of any other honor that
human power could confer upon me-"
said Mr.. Grossman, "and | am proud
that the women of Georgia are the
first to officially send man to rep
resent them. 1t is a good omen.
There should be no sex in politics.
| believe this to be the last woman
suffrage convention as such"
When asked what he believed to be
the reason for the delay on the part
of the men politicians to ratify the
suffrage amendment he laughed and
declared that it was mere matter of
inherited psychology.
ClingingN Vine Theory.
You see, we've been trained so
Hong to look on woman as the cling
ing vine," he said, "that it takes a
while for some of us to get over our
preconceived ideas on the subject. In
fact, all of US have sneaking lean
ing in that direction. But the men
of the country should remember this
that the stumps to which clinging
vines cling are dead at the top?"
With all the political flirting that
has been going on on the part of
both the Democratic donkey and the
G. o. P elephant with Madam Ma
tional Suffrage Association (women's
votes are going to count nightly at
the next presidential election), the
only man suffrage delegate has
come out strong for the democratic
party.
Southern democrats were the first
practical advocates of woman suff-
rage" said Mr.. Grossman. "Wyom-
ing was the first state to grant full
suffrage to women. In fact, her
statehood was founded on that issue.

the union, as peopled by Southern
