February 27, 1913 : The suffrage hikers pushed on toward Washington, D.C., this morning—despite rain, mud, hecklers and a growing conflict with the National American Woman Suffrage Association.
General Jones and her “Army of the Hudson” left Laurel about 9:00 a.m. for another day of wading through Maryland’s notoriously muddy roads. But they were soon joined by 25 schoolchildren who happily hiked along until someone noted the approach of a Truant Officer, at which point the students scattered and headed for their classroom.
At Beltsville, the hikers got a chance to briefly shed the oilskin tablecloths that were made into ponchos and added to their regular rain gear this morning. There they enjoyed a luncheon of crackers, fruit and apple cider. Back on the road again, some of the marchers, Phoebe Hawn and Mary Baird in particular, were clearly suffering from major foot problems, but are still determined to make it all the way.
Genevieve Champ Clark, daughter of the Speaker of the House, journeyed out from Washington to greet the marchers and was given an ovation by those not already in bed tending to their weary feet.
