An thony vice president at large, and Lucy Stone was made chairman of the execu tive committee. , Since that time the as. sociatlon has pursued Its work . along both lines, fighting for both federal and State constitutional action.

Massachusetts women voted for all elective officers from 11(1 to 1780. Tha constitution then succeeding ; excluded the women from voting for governor and morobers of the-legislature, but gave them the right as to all other of ficers. . The ballot was hedged about with many restrictions, . however, and not one fourth of the men were eli gible. In 1895 tha Massachusetts leg Ulature submitted the question of ad mitting tne women to . the i suffrage to a plebiscite of the women of the state. Of the 676.000 women of vot ing age, only 23,104 -were sufficiently interested to ge to the polls and de mand the '.'ballot" for their sex. The legislature concluded that tha women didn't want It, and they didn't get It. A few months before the Declaration of Independence In 1774, Abigail Adams wrote, to her- husband. John Adams, in Philadelphia, setyng forth . the politi cal claims of the women. She said that she longed to hear the news that congress had declared the colonies In dependent of England, but she remind ed her husband that the women ought to - be considered In the question of representation, even threatening to fo- mak.

Thus the sister of the mover of the Declaration of In dependence and the wife of its principal advocate were among toe rirat suf- ragettes. " ' . ' . . Suffrage In JTew Jersey. - ,. The continental congress- left the question of suffrage entirely to ' the states. New Jersey was the only one which gave women the right to vote. equally with men, its constitution con ferring the -franchise ' on "all Inhabi tants worth $260, etc." , In 1780,. when the federal government under the con stitution had been set up, a revision of the New Jersey election law, used tha words ."he; or she" In reference to J electors, thus confirming women in .ne right to vote, A sufficient number of 'Women availed themselves of the privilege to incur the enmity of the politicians, and in 1807 the legislature passed an act limiting the auffrage to "white male cltlsena." This was in violation of the constitution of the state.' but the women apparently were not sufficiently Interested to make an effective protest. ,.; In UJ4 Francea vrisht catna j to America from Scotland and began a crusade for women's rights. This waa the beginning of the movement which has resulted In tne Amelioration of the laws of so many states which plaoed women under disadvantages. Tha move ment, however, was absorbed. In - the anti-slavery agitation, and It was not until 1869 that It took definite shape as a demand for the suffrage. The first organized general movement waa begun in 1848 when a woman's right convention was held at Seneca r alia, N. Y "to discuss the social. civil . and reglllous condition and rights or woman." Elisabeth Cady Stanton, Mary Ann' McClintock. Lucretla Mott and others of almost equal prominence were the guiding spirits of that move ment, which Is the same- represented toaay oy (he convention In Washington BIIFM O DREDGERS Port of Portland Authorizes the Contract to Supply Portland and Columbia '!
