Congressional Union.

T0HE nationwide political campaign
Is now over for another four
u years, but not so the campaign
for NATIONWIDE suffrage, which
reopened with renewed vigor on the
morning OF November s, and promises to
continue with undated zeal until the
Federal amendment Is won.
For many years there had beep a
woman suffrage committee In the SEN
ate, but until 1913 1t was a minority
committee, whose existence was merely
nominal. and whose influence was zero.
In 1913 the suffrage question had in
creased In Importance sufficiently for
the Suffrage Committee I'm the Senate
to be promoted to a majority commit
tee. Shortly afterward the Congress
sloual Union for Woman Suffrage was
organised by the Congressional COM
mfttee of the National American Wom-
an Suffrage Association with the APP
nroval Of the president of the associa-
ton, for the purpose OF supporting the
Congressional committee in its work for
the Federal amendment -Four months
experience had convinced the committee
that the work OF securing that amend
ment would require much greater effort
Of FIVE women working alone
And as nearly all suffrage workers
we're giving their time and service to
the particular States In which they
lived. IL was believed that the passa &c
OF the amendment would be helped by
the formation OF a society with the ma
uonal work as its sole object The

heavily upon the Congressional Union
with Its large budget that its work
would have been seriously crippled. and
the members therefore decided to be-
come &c 1s,I an Independent organization early
The first important event In the his
tory Of their campaign was the refusal
OF the Rules Committee, after two hear
ings. to report the resolution creating n
suffrage Committee. but shortly after
ward they were forced through the ac-
tivity OF the union to call for a Demo-
cratic caucus Of the House to take up
the question of the Suffrage Committee
the first time in the history OF the
country that either OF the two great po-
litical parties had ever caucused on
woman suffrage. The Democratic
party through its adverse decision thus
stood revealed as responsible for the re.
fusal of the Rules Committee.
Thereupon the Congressional Union
concentrated its efforts upon securing
the passage OF the Federal amendment
which had been before the Judiciary
Committee since its introduction by
\ Representative Mondell In 1913 During
the first year Of it's existence. the work
At the Union had been confined almos,
exclusively to Washington.
