York and she was obliged to employ another clerk, whose salary she
herself paid. In closing she said: "Since 1893 your treasurer has
received and disbursed more than $275,000 and she wishes the
treasurer for the coming year could have that full amount for the next
twelve months' work." The convention accepted the report with a rising

The general subscriptions at the convention, including those for the
South Dakota campaign, were $4,363. Mrs. Belmont continued her pledge
