How the Women Campaigned
Frederic J. Haskin reflects on the Congressional Union for Woman's Suffrage campaign in the West and Midwest. He notes fatigue after intense organizing, describes routes from New York offices to small Rocky Mountain towns, and recalls tactics from town mazes meetings to circus stump speeches. He highlights hospitality of western women, mixed reactions to suffragists, and challenges including rough treatment from anti suffragists and travel hardships. The piece contrasts eastern campaign methods with western conditions and emphasizes the spread of suffrage advocacy across diverse settings.
