In commenting Mrs. Rogers said: "Nothing to my mind indicates so

Convention--the "walkless parade," to which the Missouri Suffrage
Association contributed nearly $2,000. She attended State suffrage and
political conventions and the biennial of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs in New York. "And then came Chicago," the report said,
"with its exciting surge, its march in the rain and its near-victory
plank, followed by St. Louis with its 'golden lane' of suffragists and
a plank a little less pleasing; another trip to Indianapolis wi
