 we found vacant down on Dexter ave nue. The legislators must pass here go- ing to and from the capitol, and we are asking them to go on that side of tho street. Suffrage literature and maps are
 placed conspicuously in the windows
 and the headquarters are comfortably fitted out, and in charge every day of some member of the Montgomery or ganizatiop. There have been ever so many visitors to headquarters and will be more, because undoubtedly our cause is growing in favor.
 Miss Engle, Mrs. Jacobs and I are at the Exchange hotel every day above the rotunda, and a number of men from whom we had already had letters de- fining their views have come to us there, so we have discussed affairs with a number of our political friends and
 others who have opposed us. We have
 been much gratif1ed at the results of
 our work. One of the legislators came
 the day we arrived and offered his
 services in any capacity whatever. His
 courtesy was followed in like manner
 by dozens of other people and we have
 had our friends to talk for us to bring
 doubtful members to be introduced to
 us so that we might use what argu-
 ments we might in winning to our
 cause. Suffrage literature mas been
 placed in the elevator at the hotel, and
 it is amazing how mysteriously, yet
 how steadily it has disappeared. We
 have used, in this fashion, too. the suf- frage map, which shows the advance of the movement in states wherein women have been given the vote. This we expected to remove when we left Montgomery, to be hung again when we return, but some of the men ob- jected so that we left it.
