ding conventions,

The City Party began the intensive work of the campaign in January,
1915, when a swift pace was set for the succeeding months by having 60
district conventions, 170 canvassing suppers, four mass meetings, 27
canvassing conferences and a convention in Carnegie Hall. It was
decided to canvass all of the 661,164 registered voters and hundreds
of women spent long hours toiling up and down tenement stairs, going
from shop to shop, visiting innumerable factories, calling at hundreds
of city and suburban homes, covering the rural districts, the big
department stores and the immense office buildings with their
thousands of occupants. It was estimated that 60 per cent of the
enrolled voters received these personal appeals. The membership of the
party was increased by 60,535 women secured as members by canvassers.
