ide for a municipal vote for women. Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, national president, gave a week to speaking in the city
and Miss Kate Gordon, national corresponding secretary, spent three
weeks there, addressing many organizations. The question was submitted
to the voters with the charter but on a separate ballot. Both were
lost, the suffrage amendment by 1,600. More votes were cast on it than
on the charter itself.

In 1910 an amendment to the State constitution permitting women to be
appointed notaries public, clerks of county courts, probation officers
and members of boards of State institutions went to the voters. The
State Bar Association also had an amendment and kindly printed the
literature for the former and sent it out with theirs. It received the
larger number of votes--44,168 ayes, 45,044 noes--and was lost by only
876.

With the submission to the voters by the Legislature of 1915 of an
amendment to the constitution conferring full suffrage activity was
stimulated. Miss Ida Craft of New York, in cooperation with the women
of Charleston, held a suffrage school there January 28-February 3 and
at that time Mrs. J. E. Cannady, vice-president of its Equal Suffrage
League, obtained permission from Governor Henry D. Hatfield to put the
"suffrage map" in the lobby of the Capitol. Mrs. Mary E. Craigie,
chairman of church work for the National Association, addressed the
Woman's Club of Parkersburg April 5 and afterwards spoke in many
cities and towns through arrangement by Dr. Jones, as did Mrs. Harriet
Taylor Upton of Warren and Miss Elizabeth J. Hauser of Girard, Ohio.
In May Mrs. Ebert of Parkersburg, president of the State association,
addressed a letter to the clergymen urging them to use as a text on
Mothers' Day, May 9, The Need of Mothers' Influence in the State, and
Dr. Jones sent a questionnaire to 150 editors, receiving answers
favoring suffrage from 53. Mrs. Desha Breckinridge, president of the
Kentucky Equal Suffrage Association, spent a week in the State
speaking and Miss Craft, who kept her promise to return in May,
organized many new suffrage groups, as did Mrs. Wesley Martin Stoner
of Washington, who campaigned principally in the mining towns. In the
summer a Men's Advisory Committee with Judge J. C. McWhorter as
chairman was appointed by the State board; the State Educational
Association in convention endorsed woman suffrage; and after an
address by Mrs. Deborah Knox Livingston of Maine, who was on a tou
