F." EARS ago, when the brilliant and fa-
nous Charles A. Dana was editor of
the New York Sun, little girl wrote

devoted herself to Temperance" (the

abolition Of slavery.
For several years after the Civil
war Miss Anthony endeavored to Sc
cure an Interpretation of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments
which would allow women to vote.
Finally, in 1879, Mt Rochester, n. Y,
she tried to force an Interpretation by
voting at the polls. She was arrested
and fined. She refused to pay the
fine but was not sent to jail.
In 1875 Miss Anthony drafted the
amendment to the Constitution which
has now been ratified. In 1873 the
amendment was introduced in the
senate by Senator Sargent of Califor-
MIA. 1t was defeated in 1887 and
thereafter was not even debated In

feet. incidentally Miss Paul herself
served seven terms in Jail.
In 1869 were formed two national
EXAMINATIONS: National Woman Suf-
frage association, with Mrs. Stanton
and Miss Anthony leaders and head
quarters in New York; American
Woman Suffrage association, with
Mary A. Livermore, Julia Ward Howe
and Lucy Stone leaders and head
quarters in Boston.
The line of division between them
was this: The former wished to
concentrate on the passage of a con-
stitutional amendment; the latter
was in favor of obtaining the suf-
frage through amendments to state
constitutions. In 1890 the two organ
izations were united under the name
of National American Woman Suf-
fage Association, and work was
pushed along both lines of endeavor.
Mrs. Stanton was president until
1892. Miss Anthony served until
1900, resigning at the age of eighty.
Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait was its
head, 1900-1904. DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, recently deceased and possibly
best loved Of all the leaders-a wom-
an of transcendent gifts and elo-
quence-was president until 1915
Mrs. Gait was then again chosen
Mrs. Frank Leslie left large legacy
to Mrs. Gait to be used in the work.
The National association made ar
rangements at the st. Louis conyen-
ton of 1919 to dissolve It's organiZa-
ton and become the League of Wom-
en- Voters. These arrangements be-
came effective at the Chicago conven-
ton in February last. SO the League
Of Women Voters now holds sway
over something like 27000000 po-
tential American women voters.

ance, which she founded in 1904, Is
