Both these classes have since come into the work enthusiastically and they are all represented as workers in the Woman Suffrage Party of New York City. On the walls of her office are five carefully detailed political maps of the five boroughs, where points of difficulty may be pointed out in consultations. It is a book in which there is everything that she needs to know about the political condition of Greater New York. Entered in this book are totals of votes cast in every district in the city from 1915 and 1916, the names of male political leaders and how they voted, the list of districts that are strong for suffrage, those that are lukewarm, and those that are actively opposed to it. She can tell to a vote what is need to carry the city for the women this year.
Constant work is done by the suffrage organizations in districts opposed to the suffrage cause.
Miss Hay knows, as the canvassers bring in their returns, whatever changes in sentiment there may be. Each election district captain organizes her own district workers, and they are expected to see every voter in the district and ask him how he stands in regard to votes for women. Each canvasser is expected to make from twenty to twenty-five calls a day. She need see the voter only once, though she may be obliged to call several times before she finds him at home. The canvasser makes a short call only as she is warned against annoying or nagging the voter.
