e speakers for
the annual meeting at Crawfordsville June 20 and Mrs. Noland, Miss
Noble and Mrs. Leach responded. They were courteously received and
heard with much applause. The convention was not interested in woman
suffrage but the press gave much publicity. A State suffrage
convention was held at this time. In August a monthly journal called
the _Woman Citizen_ was established in Indianapolis by the association
with Mrs. Leach as editor, its columns open to all suffrage
organizations, and published for two years. New Albany,
Jeffersonville, Markleville and Valparaiso clubs were added to the
State association. The New Albany society was large and active and
gave suffrage much prominence in southern Indiana. Mrs. Noland
reported 5,000 letters sent out in 1911.

On June 28, 29, 1912, Logansport again entertained the State
convention. Mrs. Noland acted as publicity chairman. The Call was sent
broadcast; press notices in every daily and weekly paper; large
posters put up at the cross roads in every county; banners stretched
across Broadway announcing the date. On the Saturday before the
meeting circulars announcing it and a parade were dropped over the
city from an air ship. Every business house was beautifully dressed in
suffrage colors. Mayor D. D. Fickle gave an address of welcome. The
principal speaker was Dr. B. O. Aylesworth of Colorado. The parade was
viewed by more than 50,000 people and Pathe made films of it. The
convention was widely noticed by the press. Eleven new societies were
added to the State association. Mrs. Noland was re-elected. Other
officers were: Mrs. O. P. Smith, Logansport; Mrs. Anna Cassangese, New
Albany; Mrs. Margaret Williamson, Red Key; Dr. Emma G. Holloway, North
Manchester, vice-presidents; secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Katharine
Hoffman, Logansport; member National Executive Committee, Mrs. Leach;
standing committees, Legislation, Mrs. Leach; Church, Mrs. Alice Judah
Clark, Vincennes; Endorsement, Mrs. Harriet Houser; Press, Mrs. Neff,
both of Logansport.

A publicity campaign was begun. Billboards were covered with posters
and barns, fences and stones along the country roadways were decorated
with "Votes for Women." Free literature was distributed and handbills
were given out at every opportunity. Sunday afternoon meetings were
held in picture show halls in many towns. Booths were secured at
county and street fairs. Tents were placed on Chautauqua grounds with
