Dora G. Ogle served as its business manager. The newspaper quickly became the voice of the white women's suffrage movement in Maryland, and regularly printed news and information from other suffrage organizations, becoming a motivational force by providing practical tips on how to organize and debate the suffrage amendment. The publication started by advocating broadly for women's suffrage, but eventually aligned with the National Woman's Party to push for a direct federal constitutional amendment. Statewide Reach: It included contributions from local suffrage leaders across the state, such as Howard County's Laura L. Byrne. The Just Government League also opened a coffee room and restaurant in Washington, D.C. near the headquarters of Alice Paul's Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. When the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified in 1920, the Maryland Suffrage News ceased publication. ; These are the copies received by Mrs. R E.
