1CdH woman suffrage ASSOCIATION, the
direct heirs of the long line of bravo
gail Adams, Lucretia Mott, Susan b.
Anthony, Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Anna Howard Shaw and
thousands more. never paused in their
work for liberty, now urges that the
women of the United States use
Thanksgiving day as a day for the
especial expression of their gratitude
for the blessing of political emancipa-
ton.
We. the members of the executive
board Of the National American
Woman Suffrage association. offer our
own thanks; first, to Almighty God
three generations to this hour; e
ond, to the noble company Of men
in the fifteen full suffrage states, who
have in the last SO years braved OPP
position at the polls in order to en-
franchise the women Of their several
states. I
We thank again the e5th and seth
congresses Of the United States which
stood staunch against fierce opposi-
ton and finally brought the barque
of liberty to port. We thank the
president Of the United States for his
unprecedented act in personally
bringing the amendment before con-
gress. We thank those states which
cleared the way for the amendment
by prompt ratification. We thank the
governors who called special sessions,
the hundreds Of legislators who re-
sponded to these calls, who endured
journeys, resisted opposition. repu-
dated bribery, defeated corruption,
for the sake Of justice to the women
of the country.
We thank all the political parties
for their final acceptance Of the prin-
ciple that just government rests up
on the acceptance of the consent of
the governed. We thank the minor
parties for their adoption of sthis
principle before the major parties had.
awakened to its application. But we
also thank the two major parties
which have since 1915, increasingly
accepted woman suffrage as q pvltti-
cal issue to be maintained, and who
furthered the cause Of ratification in
spite of reactionary elements in their
midst.
Finally, we give thanks that in
spite Of all obstacles the women of
the United States on November 2,
were invested with full political Hber-
ty. With new self-respect, and new
hope for the future, millions Of them
went a4toss tina. polls and participated IN
the great presidential election. Rev
erently they dedicate themselves to
the service of their country that
