[123] To Governors who called special sessions: "On behalf of the
National American Woman Suffrage Association meeting in its 51st
annual convention I am instructed to express its official appreciation
and gratitude to you for your assistance in ratifying the Federal
Suffrage Amendment. Woman suffrage will soon be a closed chapter in
the history of our country and we are confident that the pride and
satisfaction of every Governor and legislator who has aided the
ratification will increase as time goes on. We want you to know that
the women of the nation are truly grateful to you for your part in
their enfranchisement. Nettie Rogers Shuler, corresponding secretary.

[124] For account of meetings of the Board of Officers and Executive

[125] The names of the organizers retained, all of whom gave most
effective service, were Mrs. Augusta Hughston, Miss Edna Annette
Beveridge, Mrs. Maria S, McMahon, Miss Mary Elizabeth Pidgeon, Miss
Josephine Miller, Miss Lola Trax, Miss Edna Wright, Miss Marie Ames
and Miss Gertrude Watkins. Their organized work extended over Iowa,
Missouri, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Delaware and New Hampshire. In addition to the regular force
Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunningham and Miss Liba Peshakova were sent to
Mississippi for two months. The work of the organizers is regarded as
the hardest and most difficult connected with a State campaign and
Mrs. Shuler paid high tribute to them.
