MRS. YOST APPEALS
AS CAMPAIGN HEAD
Director of G. O. p. Women's
Division Shoulders Heavy
Burden.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
An "attractively feminine woman
with plenty of poise and no pose is how
associates describe Mrs Ellis A. Yost
who already is hard at work following
her reappointment as director OF the
women's division of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
Upon the slender shoulders Of this
mild-talking blond leader, who once
was taught history and literature by
Senator Fess of Ohio in his Schoolmas-
ter days, rests the duty of winning
women for the Republican cause.
Two years experience doing that
very thing. coupled with other busy
years in West Virginia politics, have
given her a flying start on her work
in this campaign.
Leader Since 1910.
Long before the suffrage amendment
was enacted, Mrs. Yost was active in
education toward that change, and for
prohibition. BY 1910 she was recog-
nized leader in her native State.
It was from the position of Washing
ton representative of the w. c. T. U.
that Senator Fess, then chairman Of
his party's National Committee, called
her to her present job. She was at
that time considering making the race
for Congress from her West Virginia
district, and appeared a likely choice
for her party's nomination for an un-
expired term. But she accepted the
directors duties with alacrity.
Mrs. Yost probably makes as brief a
speech as any woman in public life.

works about the Republican campaign,
she says. Like "Old Man River" she
says, it is rolling along"
The energetic, but quiet Mrs. Yost
has made organization forays into many
States. She has been working both in
the Office here and in the field, speak
ing alike to non-partisan as well as
party meetings.
Friends say she does not deal in per-
sonaIities and makes few prophecies.
Men of much political influence, how
ever, often have conferred with her in
the sunlit room where in season, flow
ers spread their fragrance from her
desk.
