My dear Mrs.3reekinridge.
1 am writing to say that I withdraw my mama
bership from: the Lastueky Equal Fights Association.

By the passage fixrough Congress of the Anthony suffrage amend—
ment and the declared policy oflshe T“xeeu‘tsfwe Boards of the Rational«
Ameriean fioman Suffrage Association and the Kentueky Equal Righta
flsaociation in favor of the ratification of the Anthony amendment,
there is no longer any eonsistenay for a firm believer in State rights,

as I am , for remaining in these Amiatiors, even though there has:
been no change in their constitutimns ta whieh I subscribed.

Of course, my withdrawal from the Kan ueky Equal Rights Asso-

aiation nullifies my appointment to the fidvisary Board and to my

chairmanship of the Committee on Prizes.

I am very aineerely yours,

 The Citizens Committee for State Suffrage Amendment

Headquarters: 130 North Upper Street

Lexington, Kentucky

OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC:

Realizing that the passage by Congress of the Anthony so—
called suffrage amendment and its ratification by the requisite 56
State legislatures without any opportunity for the voice of the peo-
ple to be heard on the question is a serious invasion of the princi-
ples of State self—government as laid down by the framers of the
United States Constitution, we, as citizens of these United States,
point to the fact that the majority of suffragists never have asked
for woman suffrage by National amendment. Wherever a State refer—
endum has been submitted those who voted for it exceeded in number
the pre—campaign members of the State association; and in the aggre-
gate far outnumber those enrolled in the national‘or State associa—
tions which by their propaganda and lobbies have secured the sub—
mission of the Anthony amendment. The majority of suffragists never
have expressed themselves through these associations; but they have
expressed themselves through the regular method of national party
platforms, all of which in 1916 declared for woman suffrage; and
among them the Republican and Democratic declared in set terms for
State action in contradistinction to Federal action on the questions.

As citizens whose views on woman suffrage are expressed in
the Republican and Democratic national platforms, we have formed a
Committee for the purpose of urging a State suffrage amendment; and
we solemnly call upon those great parties to fulfill those pledges.

We ask particular attention to the dangers of that power
conferred on Congress to legislate in State elections, provided in
the Second section of the Susan B. Anthony Federal Amendment, which,
in conjunction with the similar section of the 15th Amendment, sub—
jects the electoral rights of the majority of the population of
every State to the control of Congress. Only the right of white men
to vote will be free from Congressional influence. Such a power in
the Federal Government was never contemplated by the framers of the
Constitution of the United States.

But if State Control of State elections is abridged, or de—
stroyed in practice, by a new power incorporated in the Federal Con—
stitution with no corresponding constitutional check provided, Con—
gress will become possessed of an autocratic power, dangerous to our
free institutions, and one which can be turned with equal facility
against any section of our country when a political or commercial
interest is strong enough to dominate Congress.

 

As for the question of Woman Suffrage the attainment of that
in the States which do not already possess it is safely and sanely
provided for in the Republican and Democratic National Platforms
of 1316.

 JOINT CAMPAEGN COMMITTEE

FOR

RATIFICATION OF STATE AMENDMENT-
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

NEW ORLEANS, LA.

 

 

 

 

TO THE VOTERS OF ORLEANS PARISH:

0n the part of the women of Orleans Parish who believe in democracy,
we earnestly ask your vote in favor of the Woman's Suffrage Amendment.

Men of the United States have been asked to die "to make the world
safe for democracy." Yet democracy—~the right of the individual to
self—government——which men are fighting to establish abroad, has not
been granted in its entirety at home. President Wilson has revealed the
falsity of our position when he states "If we be indeed democrats and
wish to lead the world to democracy * * * * * our professions will not
suffice." In other words we must PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH. Women are
taxed and women are governed, the identical title upon which any man
votes. To deny this American principle of CONSENT IN GOVERNMENT is to
deny the very corner-stone upon which American democracy is built. The
democracy which we are demanding that Germany must accept as the price
of peace!

In the name, then, of National Honor we women of your state ask at
your hands that with Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Cali-
fornia, Oregon, Arizona, Kansas, Nevada, Montana, Illinois; New York,
Arkansas and Texas, Louisiana be made a true democratic unit of a demo-
cratic nation. By so doing you will record your faith in that other_
great protective principle of our government, the STATE'S RIGHT TO DE-
FINE ITS ELECTORATE WITHOUT FEDERAL INTERFERENCE. Thus, while confer-
ring self-government upon us as individuals, you may conserve self—gov-
ernment for the state.

, We appeal for your vote on another score. The women of your state
are the political inferiors of negro men in their United States citizen-
ship. We ask that your hands remove this stigma of inferiority and not
have redress come at the hands of men from other states through a Fed-
eral Amendment.

The eyes of the nation are watching Louisiana for a test of loyalty
to the Democratic Party in the struggle now waging for national politi-
cal supremacy through Woman's Suffrage. Will the democratic stronghold
of Louisiana fail? ’

Our commercial and political future will be largely influenced by
your vote on this question. In the name then of the Women of Orleans
Parish, we ask each individual voter for his support of the Amendment——

First: As a debt due to national honor.
Second: To preserve suffrage a state right.
Third: Loyalty to the Democratic Party.

Fourth: To remove the white womanhood of your state from longer re-
, maining the political inferiors of negro men in their
United States citizenship.
