h and influenced by party politics." It held mass
meetings during campaigns; sent delegates to hearings given by
committees of Congress on a Federal Suffrage Amendment and other
matters connected with national woman suffrage; also to Legislatures
to oppose State amendments; sent speakers and workers to States where
amendment campaigns were in progress and circulated vast quantities of
literature.

The national headquarters were in New York City at 37 West 39th St.
until 1918 when they were moved to Washington, D. C. Three papers were
published, the _Anti-Suffragist_ in Albany; the _Woman's Protest_ in
New York from May, 1912 to March 1, 1918, when it was succeeded by the
_Woman Patriot_, published in Washington.

THE MAN SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.

It is difficult to get statistics of the men's association to prevent
woman suffrage. Everett P. Wheeler, a prominent lawyer of New York
City, always the moving spirit of the association and its branches,
sent the following information:

"The Man Suffrage Association, opposed to political suffrage for
women, was organized in New York in 1913 at the request of the State
Woman's Anti-Suffrage Association. Its officers were: Everett P.
Wheeler, chairman; executive committee: Walter C. Childs, Arthur B.
Church, John R. DosPassos, Chas. S. Fairchild, Eugene D. Hawkins,
Henry W. Hayden, George Douglas Miller, Robert K. Prentice, Louis T.
Romaine, Herbert L. Satterlee, George W. Seligman, Prof. Munroe Smith,
Francis Lynde Stetson, John C. Ten Eyck, Gilbert M. Tucker, Dr.
Talcott Williams, George W. Wickersham.

"The association issued many pamphlets, briefs, legal arguments,
articles and speeches by prominent men, editorials, etc. The Case
Against Woman Suffrage, a pamphlet of 80 pages, was prepared as a
Manual for writers, lecturers and debaters and contained historical
sketches, statistics, opinions of men and women, bibliography, answers
to suffrage arguments--a mass of information from the viewpoint of
opponents.

"The association continued in existence until after the adoption of
the suffrage amendment to the State constitution of New York in
November, 1917. It was not national in scope but was in affiliation
with similar societies in other States. The name of the New Jersey
association was Men's Anti-Suffrage League and its principal officers
were: Colonel William Libbey, president; Edward Q. Keasbey,
vice-president; Walter C. Ellis, secretary; John C. Eisele, treasurer.
