My Dear Friend:-

Here is Mrs. Conway's letter of the 4th inst. I dare say she is in corres-
pondence with Mrs. Meriweather direct, but nevertheless I send this to you. It
makes matters look very hopeful for a good amount of propaganda talk and education
at the Tennesse Centennial. I hope you can get matters settled at an early day,
so that you can seggge the best speakers for our days at the Centennial. I do
hope you will have a splendid series of lectures. I do hope you will be able to
secure a good place, where all sorts of suffrage literature may be kept, and
where a capable dogthern woman will preside to talk with all the peeple who may
stop to inquire about our cause. There is hardly any measuring the amount of
good educational work that can be done through a suffrage booth, well-equipped
with literature and clerks, so I am heart and soul with you in your efforts in
that direction, and shall be very glad to do any and everything in my power to
make it a success.

Vours very cordially,

Dear ember of tie Business Committ_ee: --
I have just read and re—read the conoensus of Opinion of the diffe ent mem-
bers of the committee sent me by the Cocreepondin: qecretery, to whicI1I will”sey:.

FIRST. Vhat for the same reason we threw up the Wow England conferences --

the war -- weéannot see into next year and decide‘wisely when and where to mold

out-convention outside of Washington. What looks bee t now may be the very worst
thing when the war is over, so I say lot the decision wait, at least until after
the November elections. This is for a double reason: Michigan and California
are to vote on the question of holding c0nstitutionel conventions. If both

States should vote yes, then we would want to carry our propaganda conventions

 

 into both; if only California, then I shoulfi vote to carry our annual meeting
there in February, 1§99, or just as soon as the Legislature had enacted the law
regulating the election of the delegates and fixing the date of the constitutional
convention. If only Michigan should carry the proposition, then I should vote
to hold our convention in that State, not in Grand Rapids, but in the metropolis,
Detroit. Neither of these horns of the dilemma can be ctmsen until after the
elections are over in November next. Putting the constitutional conventions out
of the question, I should vote against Minneapolis and Grand Rapids because of
our having so recently held great National conferences in both, and I should vote
against Cincinnati because of our recent very small National conference there.

I do not at all believe in the policy of taking our National annual meeting

into the city which offers the best financial conditions, without consideration of

the need of our help to some practical end.

 

 I believe that either New Orleans or Memphis would invite us and offer hos-
pitality too if the friends knew we would likq to carry the convention there. So
i beg that a decision may not be hurried, but that it shall at lagbt be postponed

until we get the election reports from.both Michigan ans Felifovniu.
BECOHD. T object totally t9 moving our Officer-electing, delegate conven-
tiou icruard to syritg, or bach into autumn. What I 17 see the friends in
gtates settle upon is that our regular annual - etiu; shall be held in
Washington Bach year, the last of January or the first of Vaoruary, for national
work with Fonzvess; :_4. ' .:;~ 'lr*e. 0' throwing up our afxorts ta secure a
“ederal Constitutianel Amendment we shall floublc them, if uossibla.

)

four years, by taking our convention away from the capital, we surely have lost

\ C ‘ i - I
very much 01 the prestlge and power we formerly had vzth Congress. And if;

I fear very many of the delegates have either lost sight or were never possessed

of the primal end and aim of our National organization, viz., that of securing

 

 from Wanqress the yavzaye of a resolution submitting te the Legislatures of the

severel qtetes e wrouosition to 90 amend the Federal Constitution as to ncohibit
A. E J.

»the Stttes frow Siefranchising Unlted etates citizens on account of sex. To do

this we must get a two-thivfis vote 0f both Houses of Pengress and our only hope
of gettinfi #315 vote is to keep "pegwinq away on that line” if it t kes another
half century, not once in two years, but every year, anfi that with renewed earnest-
ness of purpose and increased numbers ef delegates from all the States to inmor~

tune the1r representatlves 1n pereen.

Then for State propagnnaa we should held several flutional conferences each

spring and autumn in such States as have suffrage amendnents or constitutional

conventions pending, thus threwing the weight of our national body's influence
wzere it will be of most inhediate practical benefit. To illustrate: This year

I woula have given National conferences to the larwest cities of South Dakota and

 

 Washington, inatead of to Minnesota, Illinois, Michiran, Ohio (twice over), Penn-
sylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Sew Jersev, ”aw York; anfl each of
the New England 73?: ate: he; ‘ ; -, "a ‘. ‘ year I
would hold Vationul conferences -: v =.= : A" h z.'fi 2.. 1 k1”; A 43‘“ have pre-

and

After we hfive done all we 6. ”m “:- a: -e Confiross u ; the States in which

practicbl action is pending, then let us carry nur propanfinfia in the ubhur States

where we feel we can do most thward preparing the way for a hcpeful pr

of amendments. Thij golicy, if ~z«'~ , ‘1 m'- nest surely uni speedily bring
to «he wwwmx 3f the nation their citizen's .ight to have their

at the kxifiu ballot-box.

I do not want the States to t. . in and for themselves, but i do want all

them to combine their powers and concentrate them upon Congress. There can

 

 a national associatinv but by? g
