e so-called Business
Men's League, organized to fight the amendment.

A state-wide Anti-Suffrage Society was organized during the last
months, led by Mrs. Jewett Adams and Mrs. Paris Ellis of Carson, Mrs.
Frank M. Lee of Reno and Mrs. John Henderson of Elko. Miss Minnie
Bronson of New York and Mrs. J. D. Oliphant of New Jersey, sent by the
National Anti-Suffrage Association, toured the State under their
auspices. In contrast with the hardships of travel to remote places
endured by the loyal workers for suffrage and the economic problems
always to be solved, the speakers for the "antis" only visited the
large towns, were provided with every obtainable luxury and the
meetings well advertised and arranged.

The organizer promised by the National Suffrage Association, Mrs.
Laura Gregg Cannon, arrived in September and was sent at once to
organize more thoroughly the southern counties, as success depended on
an overwhelming vote from the miners and ranchers there. Miss Margaret
A. Foley of Boston also came, as arranged by Miss Martin, for constant
speaking through the northern and southern counties during the last
two months. Miss Jane Addams gave a priceless four days to a whirlwind
tour. The Overland Limited was stopped for her to speak at Elko and
Winnemucca. She ended her trip at Reno, where she addressed an
overflow mass meeting at the Majestic Theater just two weeks before
election day. A large public dinner was given in her honor at the
Riverside Hotel by the State Franchise Society. Dr. Shaw, tireless
crusader and incomparable speaker, travelled swiftly through the State
by train and automobile during the eight days she gave in October,
which were filled with receptions and crowded meetings. Mrs. Martin
gave a reception in her home in Reno, whose hospitality was extended
throughout the campaign to those who came from outside the State to
help it. Dr. Shaw's strenuous itinerary included meetings at Battle
Mountain, Winnemucca, Lovelocks, Reno, Washoe, Carson City, Virginia
City, Tonopah, Goldfield, Las Vegas and Caliente. She made many
hundreds of votes for the amendment.

Other notable outside speakers and workers, whose interest was aroused
by Miss Martin and who gave their services during the nearly three
years' sustained effort, were Miss Annie Kenney of London, Mr. and
Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw, Miss Ida Craft and "General" Rosalie Jones of
New York; Mrs. Antoinette Funk of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. William Kent,
