Perhaps the hardest interval in their work was that which followed the campaign of 1916. Wilson had been elected again on the slogan, “He kept us out of war.” The Republicans did not want to hear anything about the women voters of the West. The Woman’s Party lobbyists, who were often more informed on the Republican situation in parts of the West than were the Republicans themselves, had to educate them. They had to show them how remiss the Republicans themselves had been during that campaign, how Hughes for instance came out for Suffrage in the East, where women did not vote, and never mentioned it in the West, where they did. It was not easy work. Sometimes Congressmen would take up papers or letters and examine them, while the lobbyist was talking. Nevertheless, she would continue. And then, inevitably the degree of her information, her clear and forceful exposition of the situation, would arouse interest. Often in the end, the erstwhile indifferent Congressman would shake hands and bow her out. As to the mechanics of lobbying work, perhaps nothing is more interesting than the cards themselves of the famous card-index. No. 1—Contains the member’s name and his biography as contained in the Congressional Directory. No. 2—A key card has these headings: Ancestry, Nativity, Education, Religion, Offices Held, General Information. No. 3—A sub-card under the foregoing, as are those yet to be given, contains these headings: Birth, Date, Place, Number of Children, Additional Information. Nos. 4, 5, and 6—Are respectively for Father, Mother, Brothers. They have headings to elicit full information on these subjects, as Nativity, Education, Occupation. No. 7—Education: Preparatory School and College. No. 8—Religion: Name of Church, Date of Entrance, Position Held in Church, Church Work. No. 9—Military Service: Dates, Offices, Battles, Additional Information. No. 10—Occupation: Past, Present. No. 11—Labor Record. Nos. 12 and 13—Are set aside for Literary Work and Lecture Work. No. 14—Newspapers: Meaning what newspapers the member reads and those that have the most influence over him. Nos. 15 and 16—Are respectively for Recreation and Hobbies. Nos. 17 and 18—Are devoted to Health and Habits. No. 19—Political Life Prior to Congress: Offices Held. Whether Supported Prohibition Amendment, Offices Run For. No. 20—Political life in Congress: Terms, Date, Party, Bills Introduced, Bills Supported, Committees. No. 21—Suffrage Record: Outside of Congress, In Congress.
