Mrs. Sickles played a large
role in getting the name of
Sickles, hitherto a Prince

across the state, which is too
big for a relative unknown

Mrs. Sickles doubled the can

the state.
"She was really his alter

She was a Lit firecracker all

young boys, who grew up in
politics as the daughter of a
former governor of Massa-

Mrs. Matthias conducted
her own campaign against
voter apathy, which she re-
CARDS as a capital sin, by
engaging in a vigorous door
