uld be worse than that?' He agreed with me
and his editorial based on the facts Dr. Shaw and I gave him has been
a most successful campaign document for us."

Among other valuable suggestions Miss Byrns said: "While there are
some editors who give us space because they have to--that is because
we are always doing something 'different' and making news which cannot
be ignored--there are perhaps even more who have a real interest in
the suffrage movement and are therefore eager to give us all the space
which the business department of their paper permits. And, by the way,
one of the most valuable kinds of press work is that which can be done
by every suffragist individually. Newspaper and magazine offices are
most sensitive to the praise and blame of readers. Suffrage
departments are sometimes stopped because no readers write their
approval. Individual newspaper policies, belittling or perverting the
suffrage issue, are sometimes persisted in because no readers write
their disapproval. It is discouraging to an editor when a reader
writes a letter complaining of one opposing news item or one cartoon
although she has ignored everything which has been printed in favor of
suffrage."

Miss Jane Thompson, field secretary, told of the 8,000 miles she had
travelled in the campaign States since early in April; of her
experiences pleasant and unpleasant; of the excellent opportunities it
had afforded of establishing thorough understanding and cordial
relations between the National Association and the States. She spoke
of the long and arduous work of the national president and presented
the following expression of loyalty and appreciation from those who
had conducted the campaigns in Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota,
Montana and Nevada:

To Dr. Anna Howard Shaw:

Board stood by us in our efforts, but even more do we appreciate
your personal labor, your untiring, beautiful spirit. Always
ready to meet whatever situation arose, regardless of fatigue,
you encouraged the believers, braced up the uncertain and
converted the unbelieving. Your service, in our e
