_The Revolution_ of March 24, 1870, gives the following call for the
May Anniversary of the National Woman's Suffrage Association, which
held its regular annual meeting in Irving Hall, New York, May 10th and

their respective localities. And, in order that this annual
meeting may be the expression of the whole people, we ask all
friends of woman suffrage to consider themselves personally
invited to attend and take part in its discussions. With the
political rights of woman secured in the Territories of Utah and
Wyoming--with the agitation of the question in the various State
Legislatures, with the proposition to strike the word "male" from
the State Constitution of Vermont--with New York, New England,
and the great West well organized, we are confident that our
leading political parties will soon see that their own interest
and the highest interests of the country require them to
recognize our claim.

The Executive Committee recommend the friends of woman suffrage,
everywhere, to concentrate their efforts upon the work of
securing a XVI. Amendment to the Federal Constitution that shall
prohibit the States from disfranchising any of their citizens on
account of sex.

Many of the ablest advocates[131] of the cause--both men and

contributions should be addressed to the Corresponding Secretary.
