 554 HISTORY OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE have a replica cast of the Liberty Bell to be known as the "woman's liberty bell." Later Dr. Mary M. Wolfe of Lewis- burg was elected chairman of the Finance Committee and the $50,000 were raised on time. The Legislature of 1915 submitted an amendment to be voted on at the regular election November 2. Mrs. Roessing was president of the State Association and Miss Patterson was chair- man of the Woman Suffrage Party, whose plan provided for organization by political districts, recognizing every political di- vision from that of the State unit down to the precinct and township. The State was divided into nine districts but as very few women could give sufficient time to head a division com- prising from seven to ten counties, only four were supervised by chairmen Mrs. Anna M. Orme, Mrs. E. E. Kiernan, Mrs. Maxwell K. Chapman and Miss Mary J. Norcross. Allegheny county had four experienced organizers, Philadel- phia four, Montgomery three, Bucks two, Chester, Washington, Luzerne and McKean each one. Eighteen other organizers worked under the supervision of Miss Patterson. 1 They visited every one of the 67 counties during the year, formed new or- ganizations, stimulated those already established, conducted booths at county fairs, addressed women's clubs, teachers' insti- tutes, Chautauquas, picnics, farmers' institutes, men's organiza- tions, political, church, college and factory meetings. During the last three months of the campaign they conducted county tours and held open air meetings daily. They formed central organizations in 64 counties under competent chairmen. Cam- eron and Pike were the only counties where there were no socie- ties but in Cameron there were active workers. In the other eleven counties central organizations were not formed but legis- lative districts and boroughs were organized, each with a capable chairman. 2 To Miss Clarissa A. Moffitt, its secretary, belongs much credit for the able management of the Speakers' Bureau. During the 1 These organizers were: Mrs. Evelyn Binz, Mrs. Laura Gregg Cannon, Mrs. Ada Mundorff, Mrs. Alice Moore Dunbar, Misses Lillian Howard, Emma MacAlarney, Ladson Hall, Helen Arny, Grace Ballard, Mary Calhoun, Louise Hall. Leona Huntzinger. Doris Long, Adella Potter, Eudora Ramsey, Jeanette Rankin, Ethel Rankin and Mary Sleichter. - The list of the nearly seventy chairmen is unavoidably omitted for want of space.
