"Picketing has accomplished the seen,IncI,,

to Mexico,
Even before our country went to war 1,
had become almost impossible TO gain the
attention either of the President or of Con-
gressmen on questions relating to woman
suffrage. They were taken up with war
business. Picketng was begun TO remind
the President and Congressman that women
were still waiting for action and that in n
war for democracy abroad II was an act of
the highest patriotism to see that democracy
was established at home. Without picketing
New York's victory would not have been
possible
I'VE are entering the new year with a deep
feeling of confidence In the passage of our
amendment by the present Congress- We
have in the House of Representatives fifty
more votes than We had before picketng be-
gan II the vote Is taken in the House on
January 10 we believe suffragists will be
satisfied with the results"
