The convention of 1912 was held in the Baltimore Business College, the
afternoon devoted to discussions of plans of work, reports, etc.,
followed by a supper and bazar. A report was given of the organization
of a Men's League for Woman Suffrage by Dr. Donald R. Hooker, Dr.
Funck, Dr. Janney, the Rev. James Gratten Mythen, Dr. Warren Lewis,
Jacob M. Moses, S. Johnson Poe, Frank F. Ramey and William F. Cochran.
In the evening there was a debate on the enfranchisement of women by
the boys of the Polytechnic Institute, Samuel M. North, a member of
the faculty and a pioneer suffragist, presiding. At the convention of
1913 the twenty-fourth anniversary of the State association was
celebrated in Veteran Corps Hall with a supper, dance and addresses by
Laura Clay of Kentucky, Clara Bewick Colby of Washington, Ella S.
Stewart of Illinois and Lucy Burns of New York. The convention of 1914
was held in the Royal Arcanum Building. The speakers were Mrs. Robert
LaFollette of Wisconsin, Mrs. Nathan of New York, Mrs. Louis F. Post
of Illinois and Mr. Western Star. It was reported that at the great
suffrage parade held the preceding March in Washington Maryland had
the largest delegation.

The business session of 1915 was held in the W. C. T. U. Building and
the evening session in the Universalist Church, whose pastor, the Rev.
C. Clifton Clark, spoke on the pro-suffrage side. This year a union of
all the organizations in the State was effected under the name of the
Woman Suffrage Party of Maryland. Mrs. Funck was elected president and
served two years.

The annual meeting of 1916 was held on the lawn at the home of
Elizabeth Bruce Gwynn; that of 1917 on the grounds of the Young
Woman's Christian Association; in 1918 at Tolchester Beach and in 1919
at the home of Evelyn Albaugh Timanus. The workers during these years
always were volunteers, who served without financial compensation. The
association is indebted for the past ten years to Mary Elizabeth Ward
for all stenographic work and to Margaret A. Maddox for most of the
publicity work.
