To Miss Clarissa A. Moffitt, its secretary, belongs much credit for
the able management of the Speakers' Bureau. During the campaign year
56 counties were supplied, involving the services of 64 speakers; 14
were men, 33 were Pennsylvanians, 14 contributed services and expenses
and 27 asked expenses only. The bureau made a study of the
characteristics of each county in industry, agriculture, character of
population and politics. Speakers were then offered who would be

to November a weekly cartoon service was undertaken, a new feature in
suffrage campaign work. According to the newspaper men it comprised
the best cartoons ever used in any campaign in the State and the money
spent for them brought greater returns than that for any other

Walter A. Sinclair.

In special features the publicity department avoided sensationalism.
Suffrage Flower Gardens, Good Roads Day, the Justice Bell and
Supplication Day comprised practically the entire list. Attractive
yellow boxes containing seeds for the old-fashioned yellow flowers
were offered for sale by the State association and the flower gardens
furnished a picturesque form of propaganda and long continued
publicity. In Pennsylvania a day in the spring is set aside by the
department of highways when all residents along country roads are
asked to contribute their services for their impro
