eports on the Memorial Fund were made to the convention

the liquor business, ever adopted a resolution against woman suffrage
except the anti-suffrage societies themselves.

convention in Chicago was the large number of very close votes on
woman suffrage bills that were announced from different States, all
taking place at about the same time. While the convention was in
session, the Chicago charter convention defeated woman suffrage by a
tie vote. The Nebraska delegates got word that it had be
