Dear Sir:—

The Legislature of the State of Washington has demonstrated
the fairmindedness of its members by submitting to the voters the
constitutional amendment granting equal suffrage.

Perhaps not every man who voted in favor of the bill has
determined how he will cast his vote on the Amendment, but we
believe that the same spirit of fairness that inspired the vote
on the bill will actuate you in the casting of your ballot at the
polls. For this reason, we very urgently request you to hear
Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of Denver,—the man who has been more influ-
ential than all others in bringing about changed methods in dealing
with immature lawbreakers and in obtaining legislation to carry out
these new and humane methods—speak in the Auditorium at the
Exposition, on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 15, at 3 o'clock.

Judge Lindsey comes from the most populous of the four
equal suffrage states and speaks not only from his owu experience but
as a close student of political and economic questions. He will tell
you of the great success of equal suffrage in Colorado and urge
ratification of the pending amendment in this state.

Believing that you seek the testimony of competent witnesses
to lead you to a fair decision in thecase to be decided Nov.8, 1910,
we have ventured to urge you to hear this noted jurist.

Very respectfully yours,

EMMA SMITH DeVOE,
President.

STATE HEADQUARTERS
323 ARCADE BUILDING

SEATTLE. WASH. August 12 , 1909.

Dear Club Member:—

Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Juvenile Court, Denver, famous
for his advocacy of woman suffrage, will speak on his work Sunday
afternoon, Aug. 15, at 3 o'clock on the Exposition Grounds, in the
Auditorium, under the joint auspices of the Washington Equal Suf-
frage Association and the Exposition management.

We are especially anxious to have you and your friends in the
audience.

Judge Lindsey will tell what woman suffrage has done in the
most populous of the four suffrage states. He is known as the
originator of the modern methods of treating youthful offenders,
but in all his work he has been an exponent of woman suffrage and
believes that only through it can the evils that threaten our cities
be stamped out.

Probably no more effective advocate of "Votes for Women"
will be heard in this state during the amendment campaign, and it
behooves any loyal supporter of our cause to help this meeting by
personal attendance, but especially by bringing in doubtffll voters
to hear this distinguished jurist.

Yours for victory in 1910,
Very respectfully young,

EMMA SMITH DeVOE,
President.

7 . You must havo wondorcd why I have not long ago
answorod your letter of July 7th about Dr.Dudloy. I anoloao the envelope
of your letter, which reached me just this morning, and you will see by
the goat marks that it has lingered somewhere in the mails all this time.

I reached home from «ho west about ug.5th and came almost immediatoly
to iadison u0., where I have been very busy on my farm. I am going the ls tt
part of this weak to Lexington for a few days, but shall return to -ichmond
very soon, as my farm requires my constant attention at this time.

Now in regard to hr.Dudloy: Had I received your letter at the time it

was writton I should hnve thought it expedient to put tho appointment of he:

as Field Zeoretury to a Vite of our Board; but as so long a time has elapseé
and our convention comes within a little more than a month, I think it much
I better to luave it till wo meet in convention; than to can discuss much
better than by writing that to had hotter do. If her apyointment seems
desirable to you, I think you ought to consult wirh Mrs.Shepard and Mrs.
Roebuck° and if all agree to recommend her to the convention that you shoul
perhaps arrange to have her go to the convention. Sho could ho put on the
program, so that all the dolcgates would have an Opportunity to Judge of
ability; mld we could all then discuss ways and means for keeping her in
tho field. I feel wholly unequal to undertaking such a new vanturo Without
the heurtiost co»0poration of the whole Association. .
You know that wo finally settled upon the 11th and 12th of Hovember
for our atato convention, and' fiiBSVShaW has promised to be with us for both

evenings. This is as far as I hnve provided for the program so far, and an ;

 

 2.
suggestions you have to mako will be Very acceptable. Thoro mill to a time
for all the offioora, tho State Historian onfl the Chairman of standing com»
mittess to report, anfl I wish you mould mention to all in your club to have
their reports ready. I nu so very busy on my form that I hopo you will help
all you can in seeing that reports frOm your club :éo too of?iooro ago yre~
pared, as well as having tho duos collected so Wfi Can nuke as strong a ShOWé
ing as possible. Going to the Yational Convention juot n the time my form
most required my attentiun has out into my business very much; and l foel
at times overwhelmed with all have to do. But many things seem to be
coming our way; an& we havo ovory reason * start into tho now convention

year with goofl hopes.

Let me hear from you soon con“ and hoPing your noxt letter

may reach mo more promptly, I um

TO THE WOMEN OF WASHINGTON, GREETING:

cthe tvalley Fair Association will open in the city of Puyallup on October l2th, and continue until
the l6th, inclusive. The Association has designated Thursday, Oct. l4th as Woman’s Day. Elaborate and
extensive preparations are being made by the women in charge, for the entertainment of the multitudes who will
visit the Fair that day. The program will be rendered in front of the amphitheater, beginning at It o’clock
and concluding at l2.

At the close of the exercises we will retire to the amphitheater tent that has been providedfor our use,
where an accredited representative from each club herein named will be given an opportunity to discuss the
object, scope and practical methods used in promoting the respective club for which she stands pledged. .s

The President of Woman’s Day will select one woman in each county in the State, to be lenolvn as
"County Assistant, ” whose duty will be to interest the people of her respective county, and secure a large
attendance at the Fair on this occasion. Addresses will be made by noted women. Music will be furnished
by a ladies’ quartet, arranged especially for the occasion.

The Goddess of Liberty will lead the procession, accompanied by young ladies representing the fourfrec
States, namely: Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Idaho.

A marching club of young ladies in uniform, accompanied by a ladies’ drum corps, will be a novel
feature of the day.

Women’s Clubs and organizations throughout the State are earnestly invited to participate. Especially
do we invite the women from the farms, and the wives of artisans, to join us. Also, the W. R. C., Rebekahs,
Federation of Women’s Clubs, Grange, P. E. 0., Labor Organizations, Maccabees, D. A. R., Eastern
Star, W. C. T. U., Women’s Medical Association, Artists’ Clubs, Musical Associations, College Sufirage
Leagues, Ladies of the G. A. R., and Woman’s Suflrrage Associations.

A loving cup will be given to the organization or club which reports the greatest amount of work accom-
plished in its respective line during the last year. This afier is made to each and every woman’s club in the
State. _

A suitable award will be given to the woman offering the most practical andfcasiblc plan for carrying
the sufirragc amendment in the 19/0 campaign.

At no time in the history of the world has there been such a spirit of inquiry, such a desire for informa-
tion by women, as there is at the present time. The act of our last legislature in submitting the constitutional
amendment to our voters is now being thoroughly examined as to its purpose and effect; and for this awakening
all along the line we are largely indebted to the educational power of woman. In Washington, during the
past year, woman’s cause has advanced beyond our fondest expectations; but remember, such success has been
secured only by the tireless cflorts of afew specialized workers, who have given freely of their labor and
genius.

Women of Washington, our business is to work to surmount drflicultics, to endure hardships, to solve
problems, to overcome the inertia of our natures, our training and environment; and the rewardfor all of this
is the capacity for more work. _

The courtesy and consideration shown us by the Puyallup Valley Fair Association merits our heartiest
co-operation in making this one of the Banner Days of the Fair. May [not depend upon you personally to
use your best eflorts toward this end?

In confident assurance of seeing you on ”Woman’s Day,” I am
Sincerely yours,
EMMA SMITH ‘DeVOE,

President W oman’s Day.
