Description
Summary:The report discusses efforts to increase membership and promote the cause, mentioning specific speakers and the locations where they made addresses. It also mentions the committee's goals for the coming year: "Those of us who were at the Convention in Washington remember how Mrs. Catt emphasized the fact that the campaign states lost because the women did not want suffrage [bad] enough. What Alabama needs more than anything else is to educate the women to put the need of suffrage first. . . . When speakers go into a community they can usually after speaking organize a few women into an association; but too often we hear no more of this association. let us urge that any one who goes out to do suffrage work, endeavor to find at least one earnest woman, a real suffragist in each town. One earnest, active, working suffragist can do more than a hundred lukewarm members."
