erfected wherever possible but to the
far-off places word was simply sent to the women to work to get votes
for the amendment and they did so with splendid results. The usual
program of party campaigning in rural districts was adopted of holding
a rally followed by a dance. Miss Rankin, Miss Fligelman, Miss Grace
Hellmick, Mrs. Maggie Smith Hathaway, Miss O'Neill, Dr. Dean, Mrs.
Topping and many other volunteer speakers went into every little
mining camp and settlement that could be reached. They spoke from the
steps of the store and the audience, composed entirely of men, would
listen in respectful silence, applaud a little at the close, too shy
to ask questions, but on election day every vote was for suffrage. Old
prospectors back in the mountains when approached and asked for their
votes would say: "Do you ladies really want to vote? Well, if you do,
we'll sure help all we can." Many old-timers said: "What would our
State have been without the women? You bet you can count on us." The
campaigners spoke in moving picture theaters, from wagons and
automobiles and wherever they could obtain an audience however small.
There were no rebuffs but some of the Southerners would say that it
would be a bad thing for the South. All these outlying districts that
could be reached gave a favorable majority. The money for the campaign
was raised in many ways, by donations, food sales, dances,
collections, the sale of suffrage papers on the street, etc. The loss
of the funds collected for the campaign through the closing of the
State bank was a heavy blow and it could not have succeeded without
the help of the National Association and friends in outside States.
The campaign cost about $9,000, of which over half was contributed by
the association and other States.
