Headquarters—2207i West Main Street, Room 2

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA., Oct 15 1908

Dear Miss Clay:-

Our two Oklahoma delegates have no doubt found you by
this time, and have told you all the Oklahoma news. We arenearing the
crisis and every day preceding the election brings new interests and
problems. The local women in the counties are doing some work, but the
burden falls cheefly on the Headquarters, as you remember it did at the
time our question was before the Constitutional Convention.

I will leave the Oklahoma information to be given you by Mrs.
Laskey, and I will write about a conversation I had several days ago
with a man from New Mexico. He was on his way East to purchase supplies
for a copper mine and appears to be very well—informed regarding New
Mexico. Tells me the population has increased 50,000 during th. past
year. I think he is a democrat. He says the contest will be very close

between Larrazolo and Andrews for congressional delegate, but the

chances areVn favor of Andrews. Much of his information was along busi~

ness lines, but I gathered some points of interest that you may care for.
Population is approximately 300,0003nd there are about 100 newspapers
some few of which are printed in Sp nish. The Indian and Mexican vote

is very light, neither of these races taking any interest in politics.
There are 25 counties, no large cities and the legislature consists of

4 democrats and 53 republicans. He thinks the democratic representation
may be increased, unless the socialists interfere. That brings me to
what Mr. Branstetter told me recently, that the socialists have already
inaugurated a campaign in New Mexico and expect to push it vogorously.

He is secretary of the socialist party in Oklahoma. They are doing/(dv0rin)
phenomenal work and may poll 30,000 votes. Have 19 National speakers in
the field , in addition to a host of local workers. The Democrats are

 

 H2-

much alarmed.

Who is Mr. A.W.Corbett, referred to in the clipping? Evidently
New Mexico means to enter Statehood with prohibition in its pdnfitituu
tion.

( Two hours later. Began this letter just before dinner, and could
not finish it. On my way back to the office I met Mr. Sweet of the Anti—
Saloon League. I said "What are you fintis doing in New Mexico, or are
you wholly absorbed in Oklahoma?" He replied " We are and have been
working hard in New Mexico. Are going to get prohibition there I
laughed and said," Don't you think you had better work for woman suffrage
first, and avoid much of the evil you are una ble to combat here in
Okle home?" He said " V'hy of course we will help you, for I presume
you have laid your groundvork in New Mexico." I evaded that and promptly
asked about Mr. Oorbet. Sweet does not know Corbett. }

I woulc not trespass on you now with this meager information
about N. M. but I thouqht it might be of service if the Business Com—
mittee took up the question of trying to secure a plank in the Enabling
act for this territory.

Best wishes for a successful Convention. Am following you
in my thoughts and desires.

Sincerely Yours

(/jj%f;o/4

Aug 24 1908

My Dear Miss Clayz~

Your letter arrived this morning. There
never was anything like the political situation here. There is
no precedent by which to prognosticate with any degree of cer—
tainty wwhat the outcome will be. of course one hears Republicans
positively assert that this is a Republican state, and the Dem—
ocrats with equal positiveness maintain that it is destined for
the ranks of the solid South. .It is all guess~work. There are
election contests in four counties. The matter is in the hands
of the Sta3e election Board, and they will make no report until
these have been decided. The Fourth Congressional District is
in doubt also. Meanwhile I have written into the counties where
we are reasonably sure which candidates have been nominated.

As soon as we can get reports from other districts I will
hasten to line up some influence there. I have been unusually
fortunate in getting help from the Labor people. Some months ago
I was honored by election from the Woman's Label League to rep—
resent it in the Trades Council. This puts me in the inner circle
of the Labor wire~pullers. The Secretary~Treasurer, the editor
of the official organ and the Trades Council Secretary are my
good friends and chums. The latter is a woman, — Mrs. Corder.
They are all eager to help along the suffrage cause, and give me
much confidential advice, as well as their lists. I have been
using these lists in my letter writing for the past week. They
are all the more valuable because they are the addresses of
CONSTITUENTS. Speaking of Mrs. Corder, she will be a fine
local worker for the future if we need one. She is a woman who
attends strictly to business, is indefatigable, well-poised
and knows how to do things. Her income is derived from her afu
filiation with organizations. She is secretary of a host of
societies. The Maccabees, Daughters of Rebekah, Woman's Relief
Corps, and sich like. Each pays her a small sum as secretary,
and the aggregate nets her a good income. Besides she is State
Organizer for the Label League and this is very remunerative.
She mentioned incidentally to me that she couldn't go to a cer-
tain Convention because she intended to go to Chickasha to organs
ize a League there, and the two weeks work attendant would gain
her tgg hundred dollars, and so she could not afford to neglect
it. She gets five dollars for every charte.issaed and a stated
amount for every member. .I Just quote these things to you be~
cause that kind of a woman has getuup in her, and is what we
need in our work. Have reported this to Mrs. Biggers so that she
may know how valuable Mrs. Corder could be in the future work
of this State.

The official list of candidates or rather nominees, was
promised last Friday. It failed to appear. Miss margaret Rees

 

 6-025.-

promised to besiege the election Beard at Guthrie agFEend in the
names as soon as she could get them. If I get no information

in two or three days, I shal 1 go to Guthrie . It will cost

1.50, but I believe I can get the information on file through

Mr. Barret 0f the Agricultural Department. He is a personal friend,
and a suffragistx. I told Miss Rees to go to him, but she coufid n3}
find him. .

In ordinary times it is safe to predict how a county will go,-
democratic or republican, but the counties here have no precedent.
The highest vote cast for any one office last year was for that
of Governor. Haskell received 134,162 and Franz 106,507; Ross,

( Socialist) 9740. This year many of the democrats will vote
the socialist ticket, and not a few republicans will return to
the fold of that pqrty; they voted " just this once" for maskell
because of prohibition. So you see there is a chance that the
republicans may win, although I believe the Bryan enthusiasm
will make itself felt at this coming election.

The moment I secure the list of candidates, I will checkover
and mail it to you.

I cannot with truthfulness say how much value was attached
to our promise to candidates. It does seem that they felt it of
some help or so many would not have replied to letters of in~
quiry. Yes, I believe we have a certain amount of influence in
elections. And it comes from surprising sources. I mean that we
influence not the ignorant voters alone. Mrs. Stephens said last
week that her husband voted for Owen at her request, although
he is and always has been a republican? And Miss Gregg told me
that during her work in Garfield and Grant counties last spring,
( 1907) that is was not unusual for men in the audiences to come
to her and ask about the personal record of aspirants and who
she recommended them to vote for. Mrs. Bezantson visited in
Payne County several weeks ago, and feels confident she in—
fluences about twenty votes for our candidates there. These are
but few instances, but they are significant of many others.

IF WE CANNOT INFLUENCE IN HELPING TO ELECT MEN TO OFFICE, WE MAY-
AS WELL GIVE UP HOPE OF EVER GETTING THE BALLOT, FOR IT IS BY
SUCH MEANS THAT WE CAN HOPE TO WIN ONLY.

Now in reference to alliance with the ProhibitionAists.

There is no Prohi.party here. The registered parties are Demo—
cratic, Republican and Socialist. The Independence Barty effected
its organization last week, but is too late to get on the State

- ballot this year. It is a serious menace to the Democratic party
as its strengDEJis gathered wholly from that source. This will be
the opportunity of the Republicans. So much for the prohis.in
this State. Generally speaking, I am afraid of the Prohibition—
ists. They are a minority everywhere, and because of this when
they have measures pending will sacrifice us every time. They

are not strong wnough to carry us, so they are forced to save
themselves by unloading us. We are far more useful to them ,

than they are of service to us. They use our " womanly inflooence”
up to certain stage of the game, and they trade off on us. Did
.you notice how they modified their endorsement of woman suffrage
‘in their recent platform? Of course that was done to eleminate
the black woman's vote, but it is indicative of the fact that
they are a politic lot of Ducks! I have always felt that woman

 

 .
_3_

suffrage w as an expediency with them, not a principle. Oregon
was scarcely a fair test however, of their attitude toward us,
sice Mrs. D niway's aggressive fight on prohibition had much
to do with their vote against us. But in other States I have
never known the Prohibition party to place much emphasis on
woman suffrage.

There IS an alliance I believe we can effect in Oklahona, how—
ever. We cannot get the endorsement of the Democratic party, but
I think we can get the Republican, Socialist and perhaps the
Independence Parties to line up or declare for us. That would
mean voctory assured. The Independence party of Illinois has
declared for us. I THINK WE SHOULD GO TO CADDO AND TRY TO GET
HENRY W.DIFFENDERFER , WHO IS EFFECTING THE PERTY ORGANIZATION
IN OKLAHOMA, AND URGE THAT HE MAKE SUFFRAGE A PART OF THE PLAT?’
FORM IN THIS STATE. We ought to be in the beginnings of things.
I do not feel at liberty to go unless the Business Com. should
authorize me to make the trip. HOW I wish you were here!

Now get out your kerchief and prepare to weep. bill murray
is the deadest political corpse you ever knew. His finishing
blow came at Shawnee last Friday, when his brother J.S.Murray
was defeated for re~election as secretary to the Farmers' Union
Board. That severs bill's link with the farmers! Mr. Langston,
of the Labor Union has just been in the office and gave me the
details of the execution. The next victim slated for killing
is haskellfi Sounds good doesn't it? I hug myself in glee!

So you see our situationn here is this. With Bryan out of the
way in November, and a goodly sprinkling of friends in the
legislature in January, we have a fine show for a Peferendum.
Then if we can effect an endorsement , or support from the three
allies mentioned, we have every reason to hope for an Amendment.
The Socialists will put in the winter working actively for us.
They mean about 15,000 to 20,000 votes alone. Can't, oh can't
you spend a month in Guthrie at the time of the legislature?
Some one must be thef‘b. We can get this State, Miss Clay if we
don't let our efforts slip amay from us at the final stages.
Here's another weep for your kerchief. Your old friend

Caudill was defeated for nomination. And I almost forgot to tell
you that a candidate in Wagoner County, J.B.Puckett, thought to
make capital of our letter of inquiry and instead of sending
an answer to us, he published the entire circular letter in the
COWETA COURIER, with a maudlin, gushing lot of comment on his
virtous political stand, and our efforts as an Association to
get him to pledge himself before he went into office, and so tyin
his hands, etc. There was a whole lot 0 f similar slush. Well,
" Kate H. Biggers" wrote a reply and sent it to EVERY NEWSBAPER
IN WAGONER COUNTY. It was published just on the eve of the priman.
ies. It went broadcast through the State. Many of the papers
abridged it and spoke of Puckett's having unwisely reckoned wither
out his hostess when he rushed into print against brainy women.
Puckett was everlaStingly beaten at the polls! ( You needn't
weep into your kerchief here)

Hope to write again inn day or two.

Sincerely Yours,

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA., May 5 1908
Dear Miss Clay:—

No doubt Mrs. Upton keeps you posted on the rather
meager reports from Oklahoma, but gagust thought I would like to
talk to you this afternoon, and 39 goes for a letter
There really is'nt much to tell, for all the present work is purely
preliminary, and the results will not be apparent until the primaries
are held. There is more enthusiasm in the Oklahoma women
since the school election. There seemed to be a general interest.
Here in this city, the issue was one that appealed to all the women,—_
those in clubs other than ours. For several years there have been
grave charges relative to the immoral relations of two of the
directors, and two of the teachers. Both the latter are married
women. Last year the two directors were asked to appoint other
teachers in the places of the two with whom their names weretinpleas-
antly associated, and it was also intimated that these directors would
not be re~elected. They refused to read the handwriting on the wall,
and so the indignant women in these particular wards, turned out on
election day, and defeated the shameless directors. These directors
were democrats, of course, for the democratic party has been dominantK
. There was nothing to do but to elect their political opponents, who
were of the republican stripe. Now read the editorial from the OKLA?
ROMAN, if you have preserved it. Sent it to you some time ago.

Constitutional Debate? His argument was to the effect that 90 %'of th
women in his district did hot want suffrage; that it would take lovel
woman out of her sphere; and that the steered precincts of home were/Z
the divinely appointed places for women, and such—like original and
sOulful arguments. Well that sundowner of a Brewer, has been the
first man to appoint a woman as one of the state whiskey sellers!
Vdrily, there must be an overturning of ancient idols in his districtx
I'd like to know Just what per cent of the women in his community
approve of women in the capacity of rum dispensers; and if the
sacred precincts of the bar room will attain an additional halo
when the lady taps a glass of arf—and~arf? Or when the guardian of
female virtue received his divine communication that high—balls and
