[16] "February could be appropriately marked on the calendar as
woman's month at the national capital. For many years one or more
national bodies of women have met in Washington some time in February.
This year an unusually large number are assembling. On February 17,
the day before the National Suffrage Convention ends, the Continental
Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution will open to
continue five days. The fourth triennial of the National Council of
Women of the United States will begin on February 19 and extend over
the 25th. The National Congress of Mothers will convene February 25
and be in session until the 28th."

[17] The following pioneer workers for woman suffrage were seated on
the platform, their ages averaging more than 75 years: Mrs. Virginia
Clay Clopton, Ala.; A. E. Gridley, the Hon. Simon Wolf, Mrs. S. E.
Wall, Mrs. Olive Logan, Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, Dr. A. D. Mayo, Miss
Eliza Titus Ward, D. C.; Mrs. Mary B. Trimble, Ky.; Mrs. Caroline E.
Merrick, La.; Mrs. Helen Coffin Beedy, Dr. Abbie M. Fulton, Mrs.
Charlotte Thomas, Me.; Mrs. Harriet Jackson, Md.; Mrs. William Lloyd
Garrison, Mass.; Mrs. Helen P. Jenkins, Mrs. Emily B. Ketcham, Mich.;
Mrs. Phoebe Wright, N. J.; Mrs. H. E. Burger, Miss Mary Anthony, Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith Miller, N. Y.; Mrs. Harriet B. Stanton, O.; Dr. Jane
V. Meyers, Mrs. G. M. S. P. Jones, Dr. Agnes Kemp, John K. Wildman,
Dr. and Mrs. C. Newlin Pierce, Penn.; Mrs. Virginia D. Young, S. C.;
Mrs. Emmeline B. Wells, Utah; Miss Laura Moore, Vt.; Mrs. M. H. Grove,
W. Va.

[18] Miss Anthony had objected strongly to Mrs. Stanton's letter to
the convention of 1901 criticising the church, and she did not approve
of demanding an educational requirement for the suffrage when women
would have to obtain it by consent of men of all classes. Mrs.
Stanton's letter, therefore, was sent for Mrs. Colby to read, who was
in sympathy with its sentiment.

[19] The Charleston conference was held in the Assembly Room of the
Woman's Building, welcomed by Mayor Smyth, Mrs. S. C. Simons,
president of the women's department, and Mrs. Virginia D. Young in
behalf of the State Press Association. Mrs. Catt responded and later
Mr. Blackwell made
