Congress Zs Polite,
Congress has made a habit of being
polite and courteous to advocates of
woman's suffrage. For more than SO
years the senate has maintained a com
mlttee on woman's suffrage. The mem
bers of this committee, are regularly
elected with as much gravity as are
tnose or the finance .committee. The
chairmanship, by one of the unwritten
laws of the senate, Is given alwaya to
a minority member. , Every nenator on
the majority el(J Is- chairman of -some
committee, gaining thereby the use of
a more or less palatial committee room
and the services of a clerk and messen
ger paid by . the government. Only, a
few of the older minority senators
have chairmanships, ii One of ; these la

Both associations held annual meet
ings regularly, but as time passed by
the , bitterness of the original differ

organuations merged unaer tne present
title, National-American Woman Hut

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.
In 1892 Mrs. Stanton retired from the
presidency becarrserof -a(lVHne1nff"'years
and was succeeded by Miss Anthony.
She resigned In 1900 and was succeeded
by Carrie Chapman Catt. Mrs.. Catt re

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-

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

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
