withdraw and rescind the
ratification proclamation. Failing in this effort they went on to
Connecticut to prevent ratification by the special session there,
which had at last been called, and this mission also was a failure.

To Tennessee will forever belong the glory of placing the last seal on
the Federal Amendment by which the women of the United States were
enfranchised.

an officer of the State Equal Suffrage Association from 1914 until the
ratification of the Federal Suffrage Amendment in 1920.

[165] Through the combined efforts of the joint chairmen of the
campaign Committee, Mrs. Kenny and Mrs. Milton, and the association of
which Mrs. Dudley was President, a conference was called to formulate
a plan of amalgamation of the two State associations. This was finally
