have been growing indignant upon the subject, declaring that a
vote in South Carolina counts more than two votes in New York, in
the election of the President and the House of Representatives.
It seems to me that a still greater violation of the principle of
"the consent of the governed" is practiced in all the States of
the Union where women, though disfranchised, are yet counted in
the basis of representation, and I think the time has come when
this association should make a most strenuous demand for an
amendment to the Constitution of the United States forbidding any
State thus to count disfranchised citizens....

The increased discussion of the enfranchisement of women in the
newspapers throughout the country evidences the larger demand of
the public for information on this line, and a vast amount of
educational work is being done in this way.... The presentation
of the woman question in the New York _Sunday Sun_ each week by
Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, with the articles it has elicited from
the opposition, is of incalculable value; and when we add to the
number of people who read the _Sun_ the vast numbers who read the
copies of these articles made by the many newspapers between the
two oceans, we see what an immense reading audience is gained by
getting our question into that one of the best New York dailies.
We must remember that these papers never would have copied Mrs.
Harper's or any other literary woman's productions had they been
first published in one of our special organs; therefore one very
important branch of press work is to gain access to the
metropolitan dailies. Then there is the immense work done by Mrs.
Elnora M. Babcock for the State of New York, and by the chairmen
of the different State press committees, as well as that done by
our national organizer from the headquarters. Never has the press
of the entire nation been kept so alive with discussions upon the
woman suffrage question as during the past year, and my hope is
that we may yet have upon every one of the great city papers a
strong, educated suffrage woman, as editor of a woman's page or,
better still, as writer of suffrage articles to be inserted
without a special heading which would advertise to the general
reader that they were about women.

Though we have no
