A BIG PARADE, SAYS SUFFRAGE WORKER MR ] Mrs. Leonard Thomas of Newport and New York, who was chosen to lead the monster suffrage parade in New York on October 23, has been one of suffrage’s most active representa- tives in society. She has spoken for suffrage, written for suffrage and-col- lected money for suffrage. About the parade Mrs. Thomas said: “To the novice it is a more difficult matter to march for suffrage tnan onlookers realize. Women are Innerently timid, and facing the public in a big suffrage demonstration is something of an or- deal for the woman who has never won her spurs in a suffrage parade. However, every suffragist must can- sider the good of the cause and not personal inclination at this crucial hour. It is not enougn to believe in suffrage In a passive fashion; we must stand up and be counted for our con- vicitions in the parade.” The other woman in the picture is Mrs. Nora De Forest, one of the leading suffragists of New York. subject to the approval of the cor: poration counsel, r Comptroller H.
