Thousands of leaflets on the results of equal suffrage in other States
were distributed and original ones printed. A leaflet by Mrs. Edith
DeLong Jarmuth containing a dozen cogent reasons Why Washington Women
Want the Ballot was especially effective. A monthly paper, _Votes for
Women_, was issued during the last year of the campaign with Mrs. M.
T. B. Hanna publisher and editor, Misses Parker, Mary G. O'Meara, Rose
Glass and others assistant editors. It carried a striking cartoon on
the front page and was full of suffrage news and arguments, even the
advertisements being written in suffrage terms.[199]

State and county fairs and Chautauquas were utilized by securing a
Woman's Day, with Mrs. DeVoe as president of the day. Excellent
programs were offered, prominent speakers secured and prizes given in
contests between various women's societies other than suffrage for
symbolic "floats" and reports of work during the year. Space was given
for a suffrage booth, from which active suffrage propaganda went on
with the sale of Votes for Women pins, pennants and the cook book and
the signing of enrollment cards. The great Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition of 1909 at Seattle was utilized as a medium for publicity.
A permanent suffrage exhibit was maintained, open air meetings were
held and there was a special Suffrage Day, on which Judge Ben B.
Lindsey of Denver spoke for the amendment. The dirigible balloon, a
feature of the exposition, carried a large silken banner inscribed
Votes for Women. Later a pennant with this motto was carried by a
member of the Mountaineers' Club to the summit of Mt. Rainier, near
Tacoma, said to be the loftiest point in the United States.[200] It
was fastened to the staff of the larger pennant "A. Y. P." of the
exposition and the staff was planted in the highest snows on the top
of Columbia Crest, a huge white dome that rises above the crater.

The State association entertained the national suffrage convention at
Seattle in 1909 and brought its guests from Spokane on a special train
secured by Mrs. DeVoe, as an effective method of advertising the cause
and the convention.

The State Grange and the State Farmers' Union worked hard for the
amendment. State Master C. B. Kegley wrote: "The Grange, numbering
15,000, is strongly in favor of woman suffrage. In fact every
subordinate grange is an equal suffrage organization.... We have
raised a fund with which to push the work.... Yours for victor
