~ The principal speaker will be Mrs.
Frank ]. Shuler of New York City,
corresponding secretary of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage
Association whose aggressive and
skilled leadership has been largely
instrumental in the moulding of
the tremendous sweep of suffrage
sentiment which h. distinguished
the movement. during the last few
years.
Mrs. Shuler is one of the national
ly known women who is devoting
her entire time to suffrage and as
chairman of the campaign and sur
veys for the national suffrage organ
ization. She has had guiding hand
i'll the intricate work of planning and
conducting suffrage campaigns in
many states. Mrs. Shuler is firm
believer in the modern idea of or
ganization as the keynote of cam
paign and has shown keen grasp
and understanding of the principles
of organization in her leadership i'll
this important work of the SUI
rage body. Her suffrage experience
has been rich in the accomplish
ments which stamp her as natural
born leader who has the gift OF mo-
bilizing her forces with a strength
and rapidity that is discomfiting to
the opposition. She has succeeded
III vitalizing suffrage organization
and keeping it in step with the de-
mands of the rapidly changing times.
To Mrs. Shuler is largely due the
credit for the introduction of the
unique phase Of suffrage campaign
ing known as the suffrage schools.
This educational extension work,
which practically includes 4 primary
and normal course in organization,
suffrage history, parliamentary prac-
tice, finance and allied subjects, has
contributed materially to the
strengthening and building up OF
suffrage organizations and cam
paigns along the most modern lines
of thought. From Maine to the
southern states, then across to Texas
and then circling back across the
middle western states ran the chain
OF suffrage schools leaving suffrage
knowledge, suffrage enthusiasm and
renewed suffrage activities in their
wake.
War aims are suffrage aims"
says Mrs. Shuler as she forges ahead
on the work of the several state
: mpaigns now in progress. The
Surveys that have been made OF the
various states by Mrs. Shuler pre-
liminary 10 campaign periods will
be valuable contribution, not only
during the perio fof referendum
campaigns but during the intensive
ratification campaign for the Fed
eral Amendment which, it is expect
ed, will receive the particular at
tention OF the suffragists these COM
ing months.

dation for her present important
duties during her years of associa-
ton in the many educational and
cultural movements that have en-
gagged the attention OF progressive
