[2][3] As New York's suffrage campaign gained momentum after Susan B Anthony's death, Chittenden argued in 1909 that "there is no economy in having two people do the same work.".

[7] In 1911 she, along with 100 other anti-suffragists, participated in a publicity stunt by riding a train from New York City to Albany to observe a hearing on suffrage.

[4] She encouraged readers of the NYSAOWS's newspaper Woman Patriot to aggressively lobby against suffrage, such as by attaching anti-suffrage literature whenever they mailed a letter or bill.

[13] However, Chittenden did not oppose women holding political office, and specifically approved of Katherine B. Davis.

[16] In light of this defeat, Chittenden lobbied newspapers, which mostly supported suffrage, to provide more neutral coverage of the issue.

[19][2] After the referendum, at the November 15 meeting of the NYSAOWS, Chittenden encouraged anti-suffragists to join political parties.

[2][20] The NYSAOWS reorganized into the New York State Women Voters' Anti-Suffrage Party, of which Chittenden was elected Vice President.

[21][2] During World War I, the NYSAOWS supported the Red Cross, raising funds and allowing the organization use of its headquarters.

[2] Alice Chittenden herself joined the National League for Women's Service and, working with both pro- and anti-suffragists, by Fall 1917 raised $46,000 for the Red Cross.

After the 1920 election, she founded the Women's National Republican Club alongside Henrietta Wells Livermore and Pauline Morton Sabin.

[1][2] Chitterden spent 25 years campaigning and fundraising for Republican candidates, including Leonard Wood, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover.
