FOOTNOTES:

[33] The History is indebted for this chapter to Mrs. Mary Latimer
McLendon, a resident of Atlanta over 60 years, who also wrote the
Georgia chapter for Volume IV. Before the absolutely necessary
condensation of the present chapter it included 22,000 words and was a
most remarkable production for a woman in her 81st year. It will be
preserved intact in another place.

[34] During the years from 1901 the following held office in the State
association: honorary vice-president, Miss Madeline J. S. Wylie;
vice-presidents, Mrs. P. H. Moore, Miss S. A. Gresham, Miss Rebecca
Vaughn, Miss H. Augusta Howard, Mrs. Emma T. Martin, Mrs. J.
Dejournette, Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson; corresponding secretaries, Mrs.
Mamie Folsom Wynne, Miss Katherine Koch, Mrs. DeLacy Eastman, Mrs.
Amelia R. Woodall; recording secretaries, Miss Willette Allen, Mrs.
Alice C. Daniels; treasurers, Mrs. E. O. Archer, Mrs. Mary Osborne,
Mrs. M. K. Mathews, Mrs. E. C. Cresse; auditor, Mrs. W. H. Felton.

[35] In October, 1919, when Mrs. McLendon attended the W. C. T. U.
convention, she was called to the platform on the opening night,
presented as a "brave pioneer" and highly eulogized by the present and
former State presidents. The audience gave her the Chautauqua salute
and the White Ribbon cheer and in return she gave them a woman
suffrage speech, which was enthusiastically received. Nevertheless the
State society never endorsed votes for women, although local societies
did so.

[36] The History is indebted for this part of the chapter to Mrs.
Emily C. McDougald, president of the Equal Suffrage Party of Georgia.

[37] The resolution was voted on in the last hours of the convention
and a number of the suffragists had taken trains for home. Mrs. Hayes
desired to have the resolution pass but as the convention the
preceding year had sustained the ruling of the president that it was
out of order she felt obliged to make a similar one.

[38] The only organized antagonism to woman suffrage came from a very
small but very vindictive association in Macon, vigorously abetted and
encouraged by the _Telegraph_, the only paper in the State which
fought suffrage and suffragist
