FOOTNOTES:

[29] Part of Call: In our own country the advocates of our cause know
no discouragement or disappointment. The seed planted by the pioneers
of the woman's rights movement is continuously bearing fruit in the
educational, industrial and social opportunities for the women of
today; these in turn presage the full harvest--political
enfranchisement. Under the stimulus of an educated intelligence and
awakened self-respect women daily grow more unwilling that their
opinions in government, the fundamental source of civilization, should
continue to be uncounted with those of the defective and criminal
classes of men.

In the industrial world organized labor is recognizing in the
underpaid services of women an enemy to economic prosperity and is
making common cause with woman's demand for the ballot with which to
protect her right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, avowed to
be inalienably hers by the Declaration of Independence. Time,
agitation, education and organization cannot fail to ripen these many
influences into a general belief in true democratic government of the
people, without distinctions in regard to sex.

[30] A ticket was sent with the invitation which took her carriage to
the private entrance and enabled her to avoid the crowd. She was
constantly surrounded by distinguished people and Miss Alice Roosevelt
left a party of friends, saying, "I must speak to Miss Anthony, she is
my father's special guest." The next day she told the convention in
her inimitable way that when she was presented to Mr. Roosevelt she
said: "Now, Mr. President, we don't intend to trouble you during the
campaign but after you are elected, then look out for us!"
