rominent in the literary, artistic and
social world; of the "teas" given at the national headquarters,
bringing many who had never visited them before: of the beautiful
banners and costumes designed for the suffrage parades and other
features of this somewhat neglected side of the work for woman
suffrage. The chairman of the Literature Committee, Mrs. Arthur L.
Livermore, submitted a comprehensive report of the systematizing of
that department, the classifying and cataloguing and the endeavor to
ascertain and meet the varied demands. A Suffrage Study Outline, a
Blue Book Suffrage School and Mrs. Annie G. Porritt's Laws Relating
to Women and Children had been published; literature for the rural
districts, for the home, for campaigns, placards, fliers and an
endless number of novelties.

It would be impossible to give in a few paragraphs even an idea of the
carefully prepared report of Mrs. Mary Sumner Boyd, the skilled head
of the Data Department, which filled eight printed pages. It told of
the progress that had been made in organizing the department, the wide
scope of the collections and the increasing demand for information
from many sources. It would be equally difficult to do justice to the
sixteen printed pages of the report of Charles T. Heaslip, national
publicity director. He had organized a publicity council, which thus
far had members in twenty-six States. His full knowledge of the large
syndicates had enabled him to keep the subject before the public
throughout the country; he had made wide use of photographs, cartoons,
posters and moving pictures. Hundreds of papers on the route of the
"golden flier" had been supplied with pictures and stories. He had
gone to Iowa to assist in the campaign there and he described also the
large amount of publicity work done at the time the suffragists were
making their national demonstrations during the presidential
conventions in Chicago and St. Louis. He showed how victory could be
hastened by thorough publicity work in every State from Maine to
California. Later the Chair announced the receipt of a letter from the
press, signed by representatives of nineteen newspapers at the
convention, expressing their thanks to Mr. Heaslip and their hearty
appreciation of his services, without which they could not have
handled its press work in a satisfactory manner.
