league: Mrs. Edward P. Costigan, Washington, D. C., Food Supply and
Demand; Mrs. Jacob Baur (Ills.), Improvement of Election Laws and
Methods; Mrs. Percy V. Pennbacker (Tex.), Child Welfare. In July an
appropriation of $200 for each of the eight departments of the league
was made from the treasury of the association.

As the National Association was the convener of the first congress of
the League of Women Voters and there was no method of determining the
number of delegates that any league was entitled to, the Board on
December 30, in preparation for the approaching annual convention in
Chicago, adopted the following resolution: 1. That each State
auxiliary of the association be invited to secure for the league
congress, which would be held at the same time, one delegate from the
State Federation of Women's Clubs, one from the State Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and one from the State Women's Trade Union
League; and ten delegates at large from the national organizations of
each. 2. That invitations be extended to the following national
bodies, asking each to send ten delegates at large: Association of
Collegiate Alumnae, International Child Welfare League, Ladies of the
Grand Army of the Republic, Ladies of the Maccabees, National Council
of Jewish Women, National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers'
Associations, Federation of College Women, Florence Crittenden
Mission, Women's Relief Corps, Women's Relief Society, Women's Benefit
Association of the Maccabees, Women's Department National Civic
Federation, United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Young Women's
Christian Association. 3. That each of the ten unorganized western
States be entitled to ten delegates to be secured by the chairman of
ratification.
