Governor's declaration for woman suffrage. Mrs. Miller said of the
work during the five months when she was chairman of the Congressional
Committee:

After mature consideration the board decided that, for various
reasons, it was not wise to move the headquarters from New York
to Washington but that more spacious quarters should be found
than the office here where the efficient lobby work that had
already been done could be followed up and supplemented by a
social atmosphere. Finally we found our present home, a large
private mansion at 1626 Rhode Island Avenue, just off of Scott
Circle. It was taken for a term of eight months, the offices

meetings, spoken 200 times in 15 States, written 3,000 letters
and travelled 13,000 miles.

All of Friday was given to symposiums on different phases of this
movement, grouped as follows: What my State will do for the Federal
Amendment. Should We Work for Woman Suffrage in War Time? What Good
Will Woman Suffrage Do Our Country? What is the Best Thing it Has Done
for my State? What Can the Enfranchised Women Do to Secure Suffrage
for the Women of the Entire Nation? Twenty-five women, most of them
