my dear Ers.Upton,

I answer your letter of,Sept.5th first.
Endorsement of Dr.Devis. It seems to me that is a question for the Ok-
lahoma esso. to decide entirely for itself. Mrs.Biggers is a competent
women; and she will be able to find out for herself much better than we
can tell her how far the suffragists can help hr.Devis with advantage to
our cause «nu wwmmKh~J«4n.mvmnwuu-. Being on the ground, she can also
ghange their policy more quickly, it there shoéld appear to be occasion
to do so. The trouble we are just now having with Oregon, and the plain7
way in which Tashington is letting us know that they think too much di-
rection from the National is not wise, ought to teach us the lesson of
not directing except when there is a clear necessity for us to do so. I
do not think this roguest for advice from Mrs.Biggers is an imperative~
, reason why we should give it either one way or another. I should advise
her to consult her own Executive Committee, and explain to her that the
National did not think it best to indicate any settled policy in those

matters.‘

iRS. DUNIWAY. I am of the opinion that we should continue to help with the

vork on the petition till it is finished, and then leave the Oregon fec-
aions to themselves for awhile..to settle their difficulties for themselves.
If we give up that petition work, I doubt very much whether they will
complete it themselves; and then our thousands of dollars which heVe been

spent there will be practically thrown away.

 

 WEST VIRGINIA. I like your answer to Dr.Jones. It is what I would have
. advised. V
DR. weeps. or course, I should be willing for a salary to ‘rte paid to er.
Yooas for the time she uses to go to Oklahoma for Labor 3ey.
MISS FLORENCE HOGE. I answered Miss hogs to the best of my ability, thOugh"
there is really no answer that is perfectly satisfactory to those who do
not believe in the abstract right of women to a share in government. Usual-
ly the danger from the negro woman's vote is greatly exaggerated by fear,
Vend this I pointed out to Miss fioge.Meny persons are ignorant of the rel-
ative numbers of white and colored women.I return Miss Hoge's letter.

--Can yea tell me how to reach Mr. Wm.Wal1ace by letter? I wrote to him
several days ago about the notes-I left in charge of the Terr n bank; but

I have had no answer.

I did not know'that Miss Shaw had arrived; but I sspppsse we shall

soon havens call for a Business Meeting now.
Give my love to all in the office, and with much to ypurself, I

am yours.

Dear Mis s Clay:-

I am sure you will be overwhelmed with letters from

Miss Shaw for a. few days. My, but I am sorry for her! She has to
study up all the things which have happened in the past three
months and get hold of matters, then start out into the field
about the 15th of this month.

I note what you say about Dr.Davis, and I have written
Mrs.Biggers acwrdingly.

I am not going to touch on Mrs.Duniwa.y. I think the
Business Committee will have to sit on her a Whole day.
Glad you wrote Miss Hoge.

I am sorry you had to bother to write to Mr.Wallace.
I could have attended to the matter for you. He is in England, and
I suppose the appearance of your note made the people think it
was persorfi'land they forwarded it to him. If there is anything
sped a]. you wish to write about, Henry Dietz, Cashier Union National
Bank, will be the one to write to.

Cordi ally your 5

 181 N. Mill St., Lexington,
Sept.I7th, 1906.
my dear Mrs.Upton,

I was much interested in your letter of the 11th inet.,
concerning flies Gillette's proyoeition. Of enuree, I feel that the‘Sub-Com.
on Congressional york enould have the principal voice in deciding on the

i' just as well for me to say imet I approve of it ve-

“

'mueu. ” ,3, ;. £9 wl’ teat a good committee in Uaehingtop would fio
300( than the epesmoaio efforts of delegates to the

flagkington convention, union l believe to be one of Lne reasons why some
of our suftrvgiets hold so firmly to the immovable convention. I would ap-
prove of inviting Kiss Gillette to attend the 3.6.meeting ifi Terran on the
11th or October, though it does not appear to me to be at all essential to
have her pteeent, as the work just new, at least, is n03 eo complicated that
it ccfild not he carried on by corresponienco. However, it would be a cour-
tesy and an exyteeeion‘of appreciation of its importance to invite flies Gil-
.lette, and leave it to her to decifle if it_ielneoeeewr3 fat her to come. I

like he? liet of questitne; and personally I'an pleaeefi that taking the pro-

tection of animals under charge of the suffrage association has been left

t. However highly‘philanthropic that idea may be, it hae always belittled

a work of the L eooietion in my mina. If I Ktéknetxfegt that Tomen,(with
angitel T ) die not need the Ballot for their own protection, I should ceré
inly flotfidetote my life to getting it fol them; and I am not disposed to

raoket women and animals together evefi in poilenthropy. As for children, I

believe women to be their natural protectors, and they will be protected very

nearly in pomenreion to women's power to do no. It is our beet.method to get

 

 the power and then proceed to use it-Thet is a point that the enfranchised
women ovaoloredO'oyerlooked when they foisted that resolution on the Nation-
al Convention. 1

I am pleased that Kiss Shaw showed the appreciation she did of yOur ef-
forts in Oklahoma by intiting you to take charge of that correspondence, as
‘she ex lains in a recent letter. I do hope you will see your way clear to
accepting the charge; for I em like you, I am hopeful of winning something
in Oklahoma, and I think the best chance of doing so is to leafs the corres-
pondence in.the hands of one who has done it so well.

I have neVer been able to write any of the Oklahbma letters you have ask-
ed me to do. I>r<fl3bsbly you have no idea how disabling the heat has been. I have
considered it even dangerous to exert myself any more than necessity required.
I hhve not spent a summer in Lexington for twenty years ,perheps, and nothing
but imperative business would have induced me to do so this summer. I do not
know how important you may considefi my writing those letters. If I thou3ht
”you laid great stress on them, now it is cooler I would do what I can; but I
really do not see what excuse I could frame to write to that young lawyer in
rChiekesha, to whom Mrs.Biggers wishes me to write. It seems to me her request :

‘s a more anxiety that something should be done, without really reflecting

hat that something should be.

‘I noted what you said about your letter to the Fresident.’I an delighted
on have such an-inviteticn, and I think you should act on it, if at eny time
you should think it an OppOrtune time. ‘
_c Thank you for giving the address of Mr.Dietz.
I expect‘to attend the V.C.T;UlConvention a part of the time, and we

we get a resopution.
ford ielly yours,

«W: NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS. WARREN, 0310

Warren, Ohio, Oct. 18, 1906.

Dear State President :

At the Baltimore Convention it was voted to make Progress
3. monthly, provided we could afford to, and make it the organ of the
Association. It was also voted that States organize one club for
each. hundred members in the State.

I have made application for the admission of Pregress to
the mails as second-cl ass mater and I am hoping that we will be
able to gain begin with the Novembernumber. I am therefore writing
you to have you give me some information for that number because this
Progress is not to be at all as it haSr‘:been in the past, a periodical
for propaganda, but it is to be a simple sheet for the workers alone.
I therefore Want you to tell me what your Convention did, provided ,
it has already been held, in regard to Legislative work and who your
newly elected officers are, and how many clubs you have organized
in the past year. You may also give me one other point,which you
think Was a strong part of the Convention»

Now I know that some of you have not had your Conventions
yet, but it isimpossible for me to write each one of you a separate
letter, so I must make one letter cover all. Those of you whohave
not had your Conventions will robably have them before the Novemb er
number of Progress goes to press and you can then send me the
information. If it is too late for that number it will be all right
for the December number. It has been my pet idea for a long time

to have Progress stand in the National Association as the News Letter
and Club Letters, etc., stand in the States, and it will depend
somewhat upon you whether it is a success. If you will send to me
items of interrst in the suffrage line fromyour State the periodical
will be a success. All I am to do is to act as a gatherer of news
and put this news .into as concise and simple a form as I possibly can.

Knowing that you appreciate the necessity of such a sheet
for interconnnunication, and knowing that you will do everything in
your power to make it a success, I remain,

Very cordially yours ,

:

NAATIONAL IH'ZADQUARTERS. ‘V.\RREN, OIIIO

Warren, Ohio, Oct. 23, 1906.

Dear Miss Shaw and Miss Clay:

We three make up the sub-committee on Campaigns & Organ-
izations and I am writing you in regard to the condition in Arizona.
Yo u will remember that Mrs. Munds was the one woman who stood by
Mrs. Bradford in her Arizona work and Dr. Woods as well. You will
possibly retriember that in the spring, I wrote to her at Phoenix
asking; her to let me know vhat the situation was in Arizona. After

many weeks the‘letter came back. I then wrote to Dr. Woods, asking
her What the matter was and she said that possibly mrs. Munds had
left Phoenix and had gone to Prescott. I therefore re—wrote the
letter and sent it to her at Prescott. I have just received a'
reply. She says that there isn't a particle of chance for Arizona
Territory and New Mexico to have joint. Statehood: You will remember,
undoubtedly, that .he F0 raker Amendment wrrlzrioh was finally passed by

Congress provided for the admission of Oklahoma and Imiian Territory
as inc State and left the questim of joint Statehood for Arizona

and New Mexico to the voters of those two territories. It now seems
that the people of both territories are opposed to joint Statehood;
Mrs. Munds sent me a little celluloid button which says " 66 - 44,
NIT " and that means that New Mexico would have 66 representatives
in the Constitutional Convention and Arizona. 44 and that Arizona.

is not going; to stand it.

Now Mrs. Munds says there is no use whatever of our doing
much work in a suffrage line in Arizona now; she realIby thinks it
would be wiser for us to do things quietly . and let people forget
all about us, then later take up the work again. She begs us to
send Mrs. Bradford to Arizona for the Meeting of the Federation of
Women‘s Clubs. She says she will look after her when she gets there.
She says if we can get the Federation of the Territory interested
in suffrage we will be doing a great deal for suffrage. She thinks
that she and Mrs. Bradford could do it together. She says further
if Mrs. Bradford will come for the Federation Meeting and then will
visit the clubs of the Territory that she will make the arrangements
for this trip and thinks that Mrs. Bradford could get almost enough
from the collections to pay her expenses, although she, Mrs. Munds,
realizes that Mrs. Bradford is not a financeer by any means. She

says that although the club women have been very offish on suffrage
they are veering around quite a good deal and she feels as if Mrs.
Bradford could influence them. She says the Federation Meeting will
be held in November in Prescott. She also asks me to answer her at
once as to whether Mrs. Bradford can come.

 

 It is really quite a relief to know that there will be
nothing doing in Arizona this year and it does seem to me that if
we can afford to send Mrs. Bradford to Mrs. Munde it would be one
of the wisest things we could do. Will you give this matter your
early attention and let me know the result? Miss Shaw can write
Mrs. Monds or if sne prefers to have me do so I will Write her.

I have, of ooaree, answered her letter, it oontainedxnany other
thingef and told her that this question of Mrs. Bradford would have
to be ref-rrei to you, since you were on the sub—committee. Please
let me know also at your first opporttnity.

Faithfully yours,

HTU—J' . M
