<P> Paul argued that because the Democrats would not act to enfranchise women even though they controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress, the suffrage movement should work for the defeat of all Democratic candidates regardless of an individual candidate's position on suffrage . She and Burns formed a separate lobbying group called the Congressional Union to act on this approach . Strongly disagreeing, the NAWSA in 1913 withdrew support from Paul's group and continued its practice of supporting any candidate who supported suffrage, regardless of political party . In 1916 Blatch merged her Women's Political Union into Paul's Congressional Union . </P> <P> In 1916 Paul formed the National Woman's Party (NWP). Once again the women's movement had split, but the result this time was something like a division of labor . The NAWSA burnished its image of respectability and engaged in highly organized lobbying at both the national and state levels . The smaller NWP also engaged in lobbying but became increasingly known for activities that were dramatic and confrontational, most often in the national capital . One form of protest was the watchfires, which involved burning copies of President Wilson's speeches, often outside the White House or in the nearby Lafayette Park . The NWP continued to hold watchfires even as the war began, drawing criticism from the public and even other suffrage groups for being unpatriotic . </P> <P> Stanton and Anthony launched a sixteen - page weekly newspaper called The Revolution in 1868 . It focused primarily on women's rights, especially suffrage, but it also covered politics, the labor movement and other topics . Its energetic and broad - ranging style gave it a lasting influence, but its debts mounted when it did not receive the funding they had expected, and they had to transfer the paper to other hands after only twenty - nine months . Their organization, the NWSA, afterwards depended on other periodicals, such as The National Citizen and Ballot Box, edited by Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Women's Tribune, edited by Clara Bewick Colby, to represent its viewpoint . </P> <P> In 1870, shortly after the formation of the AWSA, Lucy Stone launched an eight - page weekly newspaper called the Woman's Journal to advocate for women's rights, especially suffrage . Better financed and less radical than The Revolution, it had a much longer life . By the 1880s it had become an unofficial voice of the suffrage movement as a whole . In 1916 the NAWSA purchased the Woman's Journal and spent a significant amount of money to enhance it . It was renamed Woman Citizen and declared to be the official organ of the NAWSA . </P>
