 VVPORT OF THE OKLAHOMA WOJAH’S SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION

TO THE HATIONAL SUFFRAGE CONVENTION.

The peculiar psychology of Oklahoma makes suffrage propa~
g-nda particularly easy. Since 1907 this question has teen almost
continually before the voters with the result that organization after
organization has endorsed it. . ,
' Because of the following facts,the campaign for 1915 Which
We anticipate initiating bids fair to mak; Oklahoma the next suffrage
state:

Such vexatious questions as the infamous Grandfather Clause,
the state capitol, corporation laws and the prohibition question have
all been settled so-that now the organizations standing for suffrage
may give us their undivided support and co—operation:

A campaign initiated by the Oklahoma Suffrage Association as
a non—political, non— sectarian organization will secure the financial
and moral backing of the Federated Woman’s Clubs, the American Peder,
ation of Labor, the Farmers Union, the Western Federation of miners,
and the Prohibition, Progressive, and Socialist political parties.

Believing that such a campaign would be more advantageousl
than one initiated by either of these organizations, we are anxious
to comply with the request made to us by the Woman‘s Federated Clubs
that we take charge of the campaign, accepting their assistance in
the establishment and maintenance of a campaign headquarters, but
owing to the crop failures of the past three years and the general
poverty of the.membership, it is impossible for the Oklahoma Suffrage
Association to take up this work without the assistance of the nations
organization.

We therefore request that you furnish us with an experienced
woman, preferably one who understands the conditions in Oklahoma, to
act as campaign manager, the railroad expenses and salary for from six
to nine months of this campaign anager to be paid from the national
treasury. We also request that you send us organizers and campaign
speakers for as long a period as you deem advisable. '

I believe that we are for the first time in a position to
bring this question in an unbiased manner before the voter. with the
endorsement and backing of these various social, indistrial and pol~
itical organizations we will be able to reach eVery school house,
chapel and theater in Oklahoma.

Fraternally submitted,
