ges they now enjoy, and to make the way
easier for those who are to complete the work. We, their
successors, a thousandfold multiplied, stand pledged to unceasing
effort until women have all the rights and privileges which

petitioning their Legislatures for a State constitutional
amendment.

free States to make a special effort to secure the franchise for
women in the States contiguous to their own.
