awing for the
seal was the contribution of Miss Charlotte Shetter of New
Jersey. Through the equally generous cooperation of Mrs. Helen
Hoy Greeley of New York we have been able to give free of charge
for use on letters 13,000 "suffrage stamps." Another bit of
cooperation in both labor and money was that between headquarters
and Mrs. Raymond Brown, president of the Woman Suffrage Study
Club, who with members of her association addressed and sent to
about a thousand presidents of suffrage clubs all over the
country two copies of Miss Blackwell's striking editorial in
answer to Richard Barry's slanderous statements about Colorado,
together with a note asking each president to send one copy to
the editor of the _Ladies' Home Journal_, in which Barry's
article had appeared, with her own personal protest, and the
other to the editor of some paper in her vicinity. The result was
a perfect avalanche of protests to the editor of the unfortunate

The treasurer's report was divided between Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton,
who had resigned the office, and Miss Jessie Ashley, her successor,
and it showed the receipts from all sources, January, 1910, to
January, 1911, to have been $43,844; the disbursements, $34,838.
Pledges were made at this convention to the amount of $12,251,
including $1,000 from Mrs. George Howard Lewis of Buffalo; $1,000 from
Mrs. Donald Hooker of Baltimore, and $3,000 by Dr. Shaw from a
contributor not named.

Miss Agnes E. Ryan, business manager of the _Woman's Journal_,
reported the many changes made in the paper during the year since it
became the official organ of the association and the removal of its
offices from Beacon Street to 585 Bolyston Street in the building with
the Massachusetts and Boston woman suffrage associations and the New
England Woman's Club. The advertising had increased from $256 a year
to $852 and the circulation from 4,000 to nearly 15,000. The methods
by which the increase had been obtained were described. The contract
with the association was renewed.

Miss Caroline I. Reilly gave her first report as chairman of the Press
Committee in the course of which she said:

The annual reports of the National Press Bureau formerly made by
Miss Elizabeth J. Hauser, who so long and ably conducted this
department, had reached so high a standard and the foundation
laid by her was so sub
