lan for campaign. Most of the delegates believed the men would
give them the vote without any activity on their part. Mrs. Catt made
a stirring appeal in which she pointed out that war work would be
expected as their duty and that the vote would not be given as a
recognition. Before the end of the convention she had thoroughly
aroused the delegates and the force of her appeal was evident when the
campaign plans providing for the budget, petition and political work,
which had been prepared by the National Association as a basis of work
for the three States then in campaign, was cheerfully adopted. The
budget called for $100,000 to be raised equally by Detroit and the
congressional districts. At the dinner on the 26th $50,000 were
quickly subscribed, $24,000 by the districts. Detroit women, who had
already secured $6,000, partly to pay back debts, pledged $10,000
more. Mrs. Catt promised the equivalent of $10,000 in help from the
National Association if the full budget were raised. Mrs. Percy J.

Macpherson and Mrs. Alberta Droelle. The delegates went away from the

adviser and right hand of Mrs. Farrell, giving unstintedly of her

eleven counties, which gave 15,000 majority. Mrs. Boyer said of Mrs.
Brotherton: "Her faith, devotion and work extended through three
campaigns and she was one of those who could remain steadfast through
the sowing until the reaping time." Mrs. Russell, the State
vice-president, was a recognized force. Mrs. E. L. Caulkins, president
of the W. C. T. U., devoted its full organization to the amendment,
especially to the petitions and at the polls on election day. The most
telling feature of the campaign was the petition under the direction
of Mrs. Emerson B. Davis of Detroit, signed by more than 202,000 women
over twenty-one years old and addressed to voters, urging them to vote
"yes" on the referendum. The work was finished in October and
interesting uses were made of th
