orable and helpful character. Every
day sixteen papers of New York City have been examined by some
member of the bureau and the clippings carefully filed. These,
during the past five months, have comprised over 3,000 articles
on woman suffrage, ranging in length from a paragraph to a page.

During these five months there have been received from one news
service bureau 10,800 clippings on woman suffrage from papers
outside of New York City. Included in these are 2,311 editorials.
All of these were read, sorted and filed. (See exhibit.) The
number of magazine articles on woman suffrage as noted in
_Progress_ during this period has been about one hundred. It is
doubtful if there was such a record in all the preceding ten
years combined.

In years past there has been great rejoicing when one of the
large syndicates would accept an article on woman suffrage. From
the time the press bureau was established in New York,
practically every one of any consequence in the United States
has urgently requested articles and used all that could be
furnished. From one to a dozen articles each, with a great many
photographs, have been sent to the Associated Press, United
Press, Laffan Bureau and National News Syndicate of New York;
Western Newspaper Union, Chicago; Newspaper Enterprise
Association, Cleveland; North-American Press Syndicate, Grand
Rapids; over 100 short items to the American Press Association.
There has been scarcely a limit to the requests for suffrage
matter from influential papers in all parts of the country....
Once a month I have supplied an article on the work in the United
States for _Jus Suffragii_, the international paper published in
Rotterdam.... I have also edited _Progress_....

Before closing, I want to express my deep appreciation of the
generosity of Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont, through which the press
bureau has this splendid opportunity for work. Every comfort and
facility have been provided and every request cheerfully granted.
Mrs. Belmont never attempts, because of her financial assistance,
to exercise any supervision over the bureau. It is now well
established; it enjoys the confidence of the press and the public
and the opportunities that lie before it cannot be measured in
extent and importance.
