American Federation of Labor, National Association of Letter Carriers,
National Grange, National Council of Jewish Women, Supreme Commandery
Knights of Temperance, National Associations of Universalists and of
Spiritualists. The State conventions of various kinds that had
endorsed it were almost without number and excellent work had been
done at county fairs, granges, farmers' institutes, summer assemblies
and educational and religious societies. It was voted to make
