It is not easy for an independent researcher to gain access to
American Speech. JSTOR does have excellent coverage of older issues,
but there is a wall that blocks access to material for more than
twelve years.

American Speech
Coverage: 1925-1999 (Vols. 1-74)
Published by: Duke University Press
Fixed Wall: 1/1/2000

Also, it is not easy for an independent researcher to gain access to
JSTOR. Some universities allow an individual to access JSTOR while
sitting at a library terminal. Some universities participate in the
"Alumni Access Pilot" program described here:

Membership in the American Dialect Society does include a subscription
to American Speech, the society’s quarterly journal.
