frase 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

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.
frase 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.

1t is 20 years since the organized
movement for woman suffrage was
begun in the United States. In the
first part of the nineteenth century
woman suffrage was systematically adj
vocated in print and from the plat.
form. But It was not until 184S that
Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton called a woman suffrage con-
ventiOn at Seneca Falls. N. T., which
launched declaration Of senti.
ments" and passed a resolution de-
manding equal suffrage.
These are two immortal names in
American history. Lucretia Coffin
Mott (179s-1ssO) was born in Nam
tucket. Mass., Of Quaker parents.
After teaching, she became an "ac-
knowledged minister Of the Friends.
She married James Mott. who worked
with his wife against slavery.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-190o)
was born in Johnstowu.. N. r. She
married in 1910 Henry B. Stanton. a
journalist and anti-slavery speaker.
From 1860 to 1893 she was president

woman suffrage movement. She be.
came In time the real leader Of the
movement; certainly she was its mill
tant suftragist. Born In Adams, Mass,
she came Ut Quaker stock. and early
devoted herself to Temperance" 1.-THE
prohibition Of those days) and to the
abolition Ut slavery.
For several years after the Civil
war Miss Anthony endeavored to re.
cure an Interpretation Of the four.
teenth and fifteenth amendments
which would allow women to vote.
Finally, In 1872, at Rochester, N. 7,
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-
min. It was defeated in 1887 and
thereafter was not even debated in
congress until 1914.
During the years the constitution
al amendment campaign was making
no progress the women won many vic
tories in the states. They received

The National American Woman
Suffrage association in 1912 opened

passage of the amendment.

1913 and introduced the militant into
the campaign.

New York, across Lake Champlain and
through the Green Mountains and the
White Mountains home.
From ten days to two weeks Is the

materially above the amount appropriate

on Saturday, gives the information that
the contract for the road has been let.
and that the funds OF the two towns will
be supplemented by state funds sufficient
to complete the job. The essential BART
Of this letter Is rs follows:
At meeting Of the Highway Commits
sion In Houlton last week, laid before
the Commission your letter of July q.
The Commission are favorable to under
taking the construction of enough of the
road between Norway and South Paris
80 that it will be possible to do the
whole job proposed to be done by the
two towns. Yesterday had Mr.. James
81. Kerr, who was the low bidder on this
work, here at the Office and closed con-
tract with him. presume the best way
to handle this matter will be for the
two towns to place their funds In the
hands of the State Highway Commits
sion, that is to say, You should deposit
the funds with the State Treasurer 80
that we can handle this job just as we
would any contract job which We are
letting, on estimates every two weeks.
ln this way we shall simply use the
whole Of the towns funds and put the
balance Of the cost in out of the bond
