Anthony was heard early in May at the Political Study Club of Orange.

In 1903 large audiences again attended the two-day suffrage rally
under the auspices of the Camp Meeting at Ocean Grove. Dr. Shaw, Mrs.
Hall, Miss Harriet May Mills of New York and Mrs. Lucretia L.
Blankenburg of Philadelphia were the speakers and the interest
resulted in the starting of several leagues along the coast. With the
help of the National Association Miss Mills was engaged for a month,
during which she formed ten new leagues, speaking twenty-four times in
nineteen places. The leagues studied local government and found that
women paid about one-third of the taxes. Mrs. Catt, Mrs. Ellis
Meredith of Denver, Mrs. Stanton Blatch of New York and Miss Alice
Stone Blackwell of Boston were heard by different leagues. The
convention this year was held for the first time in Trenton.

In 1904 a special effort was made to bring the question of woman
suffrage before other organizations and Mrs. Sexton spoke to the
Federation of Women's Clubs, the Conference of Charities and
Corrections and the State W. C. T. U.; Dr. Hussey spoke before the
convention of the Epworth League and the subject was presented to the
State Grange. At the Ocean Grove meeting Mrs. Emma Bourne brought
greetings from the State's 8,000 white ribboners. Mrs. Sexton and Miss
Mills spoke at seaside meetings and five new leagues were formed. The
State convention was held in the public library in Jersey City and
welcomed by Dr. Medina F. DeHart, president of the Political Study
Club; Miss Cornelia F. Bradford, head worker of Whittier House; Mrs.
Spencer Wiart, president of the Woman's Club and Mrs. Andrew J.
Newberry, president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs.

At the Ocean Grove meeting in 1905 resolutions were adopted in memory
of Mrs. Mary A. Livermore. The State convention was held in Orange.
Mrs. Emma L. Blackwell, a niece of Lucy Stone, was elected president
and the other officers were re-elected. In 1906 Miss Anthony passed
away and many leagues held memorial meetings. The Woman's Club of
Orange joined the suffrage association in holding one addressed by Dr.
Shaw, preceding the State convention held there in Union Hall in
November. Henry B. Blackwell traced the history of woman suffrage in
New Jersey from 1776 and made a plea for the Presidential franchise
for women, for which a committee was appointed. Resolutions thanking
