orities and the Republican Senatorial candidates of
both were against woman suffrage. However, as a result of the
work done in New Jersey, Senator Baird fell much behind his
ticket, while in New Hampshire the women and the advertising made
so strong a case for the pro-suffrage candidate that for a day or
two the result was in doubt, but it was finally declared that
Moses had won by 1,200 votes.... The two most important and
successful contests were in Massachusetts against the Republican
Senator Weeks; in Delaware against the Democratic Senator
Saulsbury....

Under the sub-title "In the trenches" Mrs. Shuler told of the three
great State campaigns of the year in Michigan, South Dakota and
Oklahoma (described in the chapters for those States) and said:

The National Association gave to these States eighteen
organizers, all of whom rendered valuable service. It gave plate
matter at a cost of $4,600; 100,000 posters, 1,528,000 pieces of
literature, eighteen street banners and 50,000 buttons. It gave
to South Dakota a "suffrage school," June 3-20, sessions in the
daytime in seven cities and street meetings in ten of the nearby
towns in the evenings. The sending of Miss Marjorie Shuler as
press chairman to Oklahoma enabled it to issue 126,000 copies of
a suffrage supplement and supply 300 papers with weekly
bulletins, information service and two half-pages of plate. These
three campaigns cost the association $30,720. This was the
financial cost, but the immense output of time and energy by the
women cannot be computed. It is safe to say that all of them as
they emerged from this trench warfare again questioned the
advisability of trying to secure suffrage by the State route.

Mrs. Shuler's fine report closed with an optimistic peroration on
Seeing it Through. [See Handbook of convention.]

The carefully audited report of the treasurer, Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers,
showed almost incredible collections during a period when the war was
making its endless calls for money. In part it was as follows: "The
year 1918 has been a very remarkable one for the national suffrage
treasury. The large demands of the war on every individual, both for
money and work, seemed to forebode financial difficulties for us
before the close of our fiscal year. Instead, the response to the
needs of our treasury was never more fully met,
