until the World War called the women to other duties. The Gary Civic
Service League affiliated with the association and Mrs. Kate Wood Ray,
its president, was made press chairman.

On Oct. 12-14, 1914, the annual convention was held in Logansport,
welcomed by Mayor Guthrie. Among the speakers were Judge S. T.
McConnell of Logansport and O. P. Smith, a State and national labor
leader. Both had attended the meeting at Kokomo in 1906, since which
time Judge McConnell had been a legal adviser of the association. Mr.
Smith was a member of the legislative advisory committee. Miss Laura
Clay of Kentucky, Dr. Frank Stockton of Bloomington and Miss Florence
Wattles of Kokomo were the principal speakers. Miss Clay was made an
honorary member. Mrs. Mary P. Flannegan, secretary-treasurer, was the

Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Sellars. The enthusiasm with which they were

In the fall of 1916 the question of a new State constitution was
referred to the voters and the association placed women at all polling
