None of the officers and workers connected with the State association
received salaries except the stenographers. For four-and-a-half years
Mrs. DeVoe, with rare consecration, gave her entire time without pay,
save for actual expenses, and even these were at crucial times
contributed by her husband, from whom she received constant
encouragement and support. For the most part of the entire period she
was necessarily absent from home, traveling over the State, keeping in
constant personal touch with the leaders of all groups of women
whether connected with her association or not, advising and helping
them and on special days speaking on their programs. Her notable
characteristics as a leader were that she laid personal
responsibility on each friend and worker; from the first assumed
success as certain and avoided arousing hostility by mixing suffrage
with politics or with other reforms. She asked the voters everywhere
merely for fair play for women and made no predictions as to what the
women would do with the vote when obtained. It was her far-sighted
generalship and prodigious personal work that made success possible.

The Equal Franchise Society of Seattle planned to carry suffrage into
organizations already existing. It gave a series of luncheons at the
New Washington Hotel and made converts among many who could not be met
in any other way and was especially helpful in reaching society and
professional people. Its workers spoke before improvement clubs,
women's clubs, churches, labor unions, etc. A man was employed to
travel and engage men in conversation on woman suffrage on trains,
boats and in hotel lobbies and lumber camps. A good politician looked
after the water front. The Political Equality League of Spokane worked
in the eastern counties and placed in the field the effective worker,
Mrs. Minnie J. Reynolds of Colorado.

The Franchise Department of the W. C. T. U. had done educational work
for years under the leadership of Mrs. Margaret B. Platt, State
president, and Mrs. Margaret C. Munns, State secretary, affectionately
referred to as "the Margarets." Its speakers always made convincing
pleas for suffrage and Mrs. Munns's drills in parliamentary usage were
valuable in training the women for the campaign of 1910. Tribute must
