counties; partially organized leagues in 23; a roll of members in 32
and but one county in which there was no membership.

Many suffrage addresses have been made in the State by eminent
Kentucky men and women and in later years by outside speakers
including Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Mrs.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Senator Helen Ring Robinson, Mrs.
T. T. Cotnam, Max Eastman, Walter J. Millard, Mrs. Beatrice
Forbes-Robertson; Mrs. Philip Snowden, Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence and Mrs.
Pankhurst of England, and Rosika Schwimmer of Hungary.

Propaganda work has been done by means of the press and the lecture
bureau, by the offering of prizes in schools and colleges for the best
essays on woman suffrage and at the State, Blue Grass and county fairs
through speaking and circulating literature. In recent years many
newspapers have given editorial support and many more have given space
for frequent articles furnished by the press bureau. Notable among
those of recent date is the Louisville _Courier-Journal_, in which for
many years Colonel Henry Watterson inveighed against woman suffrage in
immoderate terms. From the time it passed into the hands of Judge
Robert W. Bingham, and "Marse Henry's" connection with it ceased, it
consistently and persistently advocated suffrage for women, including
the Federal Amendment. Miss Clay writes: "The paper with the largest
circulation of any in the State outside of Louisville and of great
influence in central Kentucky, the Lexington _Herald_, owned and
edited by Desha Breckinridge, has from the beginning of the century
editorially advocated and insisted upon suffrage for women, including
School, Presidential and full suffrage, whether through 'State rights'
or Federal Amendment. It has given unlimited space to suffrage
propaganda and is largely responsible for making the question one of
paramount political moment." The _Herald_ of Louisville has been also
a valued supporter of the cause.

The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, of which Mrs. Frances E.
Beauchamp, always a prominent suffragist, has for thirty years been
president, and the Federation of Women's Clubs have continually worked
with the State Equal Rights Association for the improvement of
conditions affecting women. By mutual agreement bills in the
Legislature have been managed sometimes by one and sometimes by the
other.

In addition to organizing the suffrage forces and creating favorable
sentiment the
