The Cheyenne Daily Leader

Pointers for Women Voters.
I have a small opinion of a woman who only controls one ballot, unless, indeed, her acquaintance is limited to one man, then of course she has done her best. And I must confess the woman voter does not evoke my admiration as does the woman who is not visible at the polls, but who, as the darkies say, "lays low and chews poke root" and pulls wires. The small hand that controls the keys of a typewriter or of a piano or even the heart of a man is a stronger power in politics than twenty voters.
We reek in politics nowadays, and if there was only some soap made guaranteed to wash them so that like the sinners they might be whiter than snow, there would be a great demand for it. However, we are having torchlight processions, and each one of us feels that great glow of enthusiasm that is only evoked by a transparency lighted by two tallow dips and a band playing the "Star Spangled Banner." To the real patriot it doesn't make much difference in whose interest this procession goes—she, the female patriot, feels that it is for some good cause, and she stands on the street risking pneumonia and having the sort of time that she expects to get in heaven.
