to the legislators. At the 150th anniversary celebration of the
naming of Concord on June 8 an elaborate suffrage float and several
decorated motor cars filled with suffragists, two of college women in
caps and gowns, were in the procession. Many members marched in the
parade in Boston October 6. Through Miss Kimball's generosity Mrs.
Mary I. Post of California was sent for six months' work in the New
Jersey campaign. Later she took charge of headquarters in Manchester
and in Concord. The State convention was held at Nashua December 2, 3.
Among the speakers were Miss Zona Gale, the novelist; U. S. Senator
Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota, and John R. McLane, son of former
Governor McLane of New Hampshire.

On May 7, 1916, Mrs. Armenia S. White passed away at the age of 98. To
her more than to any one person was the suffrage cause in New
