Mine Workers of America. To these we may add the fourteen other
national organizations reported in previous years which have
received fraternal delegates from our association or given formal
endorsement, making a total of twenty-five large associations
which responded favorably to our "convention resolutions"
requests.

For the first time the General Federation of Women's Clubs
invited our president to take part in the program at the
Biennial. Resolutions have been reported to headquarters from the
State W. C. T. U.'s of seven States; the Letter Carriers'
Associations of Illinois, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania; the
State Granges of thirteen States; the State Federations of Labor
of fifteen States. The Prohibitionists of eight States have had
woman suffrage in their party platforms; the Socialists always
declare for it and in California the Democrats, the Independence
League and the Union Labor parties incorporated planks in their
State platforms. The State Teachers' Associations of California
and Illinois, the Sons of Temperance of Connecticut and Illinois,
the Good Templars of Maine, the Congress of Mothers and the
Federations of Women's Clubs of Illinois and New Hampshire are
among other organizations which have acted favorably on some
phase of the woman suffrage question.[54]

Saturday afternoon was devoted entirely to social affairs. They began
with a luncheon given at Hull House by Miss Jane Addams to officers,
delegates and alternates, after which the activities of this
remarkable institution were explained. Systematic sight-seeing was
carried out, groups of the guests being personally conducted to the
Field Columbian Museum, the Art Museum, the big department stores and
other points of interest. One group went to Chicago University, where
Dr. Shaw addressed the students of the Women's Union and the College
Girls' Suffrage Club. Afterwards they were entertained by the Dean of
Women, Miss Marian Talbot. In the evening the Chicago Woman's Club
gave a large reception, its president, Mrs. Blackwelder, and the
chairman of the Social Committee, Miss Clara Dixon, being assisted in
receiving by the officers of the association. Its handsome club rooms
in the Fine Arts Building were placed at the service of the delegates
throughout the convention.
