. so KENTUCKY EQUAL RIGHTS AssociATioN,
__.___,__r—________,_——
Just previous to the recent election a committee, consisting of the ‘
President and Treasurer of our E. R. A., interviewed a number of can-
didates, securing very flattering promises from about half the subse-
quently elected Councilmen, and very strong assurances from our Repre~
sentative-elect, Major Ashcraft.
On October gist the E. R. A. met in regular session and elected its ‘
board of officers for the coming year.
Our association sustained a severe loss in the recent death of our
former Treasurer, Mrs. E. \V. Bagby.
The Paducah E. R. A. has adopted school suffrage as its particular
line of work, and is preparing to enter into active and aggressive efforts
towards securing necessary legislation for placing Paducah in the list, ‘
with all privileges of second-class cities.
Respectfully submitted.
. EUGENIA B. FARMER,
Corresponding Secretary.
