of land and water. 2 Quadrennial State elections. 3 Annual elections. Quadrennial sessions. For terms of office, salaries, etc., of
Governors and other State officers (including names of other officials) see under title "State Governments."
Note.-If the forty-six states be arranged according to the mode of admission, excepting the thirteen original states, they
would be grouped thus: Four were formed from other States-Vermont from New-York, Maine from Massachusetts, Kentucky and
West Virginia from Virginia. One (California) had no previous Territorial government. One (Texas) was annexed; one (Oklahoma)
was formed by the union of two Territories; and the remaining twenty-six had been organized as Territories prior to their admission
as states. North Dakota and South Dakota were formed out of the territory of Dakota.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE UNITED STATES.

In the United States women possess suffrage upon equal terms with men at all elections in four states: In Wyoming, estab-
lished in 1869; Colorado, in 1893; Utah, in 1895; Idaho, in 1896. In Kansas women possess school suffrage and municipal suffrage.
In 18 additional states women possess school suffrage. Either full or fractional suffrage for women exists in 26 states. The officers
of the Woman's National Suffrage Association, whose chief object is the extension of woman suffrage, are as follows: Presi-
dent, the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, Philadelphia; vice-president at large, Florence Kelley, New York City; corresponding secre-
tary, Kate M. Gordon, New Orleans, La.; recording secretary, Alice Stone Blackwell, Boston, Mass.; treasurer, Harriet Taylor
Upton, Warren, Ohio; auditors, Laura Clay, Lexington, Ky., and Dr. Annice Jeffreys Myers, Portland, Ore.
