 Centralia, Pa. Sep. 50, 1911.
Most heartily do I thank you for the vigorous
presentation in last week's JOURNAL,- 2The New Constitution Un—

American". It covers the Whole situation, and concisely

states the danger s invited byxtherroposed Amendments submitted

by an Academic Advisory Council. There is no use in me re—
hashing the points prOposed. You have stated the menaces so
comprehensively, but I do want you to know that there are many
who agree with your Views. An Advisory Council, Whosgpmrit
consists chiefly in prOpinquity9woulc be morebf an embarrass—
ment than otherwise.

The official Board has heretofore been representative. East,
West, North and South have had advocates who could officially
suggest relief for the delicate questions which affected their
respective sections. And in this deversified counsel we have
had confidence. Since nearly all the business of the national
Headquarters has its source in communications received, a daily
report furnished each Board Member, and an answering telegram
or Night Letter, would obviate the necessity of an Advisory

Committee as proposed. This method for emergency use only.

 

 “0..

I confess, from my practical standpoint, that much of the
Mnending process recommended, could be discharged by clerical
instead of managerial methods. There is a possibility that a
too elaborate National machine may run over the States and cruSh
them . irremediably.

Some years ago, Miss Gordon advocated the appointment of a
Field Secretary. This , I think , would solve the present sit~
uation far better than an Advisory Council. Ordinary current
affairs ought to be settled by any effecient Headquarters force.
When unusual conditions arise, the Field Secretary should be
sent to the seat . '. and confer with the lccal powers. Her
report and help would be far more practical than that of a
tentative, inexperienced committee. I confess that I do not
see where time is gained by monthly meetings. correspondence
with Board Members would be more expeditious that that!

No one who has had the responsibility of the stateawide work,
w0uld suggest the disrupting procedure of erratic little clubs
directly affiliating with the National body. Nothing but chaos

could result. Not even the plea of " impossible to harmonize"

should authorize such anarchistic methods. Personally, T

 

 “gs
believe a little tact and adjustment would bring about harmony iY\
nearly every one of our diaffected States. . This would be
tart of a Fielc Secretary's duties. Petty quarrels transferred
to the National, instead of being adjusted by the respective

tm;es, would weaken the whole National influence. My Dear Miss
Clay, just imagine the Advisory OOuﬂcil solemnly straightening
out Abigail and Dr. Mary Thompson in Oregon; or " sitting on"
Woodworth in Oklahoma; or repressing our eager but militant

workers in war land Missouri and Wisconsin when each of these
’ 1

doughty warriors led their respective adherents to local battle,

-\

AND THE WORK INFRINGED OR OVERLAPPED!
Do you remember the jingle about the Injun Squaw who
" swallowed a‘lasses hogshead down.
The hoops flew off; an' squaw she bust;

An' she went up in a thunder gust!"

That's what would happen to the National!

I am writing by this mail to engage a room at the Seelbach.’
Have never let go of Oklahoma. During the whole summer I have
devoted most of my spare time to helping with the work there.
Dr. Gay, who succeeds Mrs. Biggers, has unlimited courage. We

L4

have made many friends amonm the politicians, and the suffragist$

 

 -4“
are trying not to alienate these. If Califarnia achieves a vic-
tor*, it will have a tremendous effect on Oklahoma.

My belt wisﬁed for a Breat, spelndid Convention in your Ken—

L

‘

tucky State, and part of the joy of tne Convention time will be

seeing you, and cnauting over the battles we fought, -—but

didn't win, alas!

Affectionntely Yours,

My Dear Miss Clay:—

1 do not know if you have been advised that I am

to undertake the work of Field Secretary for Penna. You may

remember that at the Louisville Convention, there was pending

a suggestion that I go to Kansas. I was perfectly willing to

accept this, my sole proviso being that the National be respon—

sible for my salary and expenses, in order that all the money

I could raise fwr the Kansas campaign, by.devoted to the work in

that State. There is much embarrassment connected with

money for one's own posket, and frequent dissatisfaction.

Besides, I had previ usly been told that one of Kansas' grievances

against the National, some years ago, was that a certain officer,

Miss Shaw, had taken over one thousand dollars out of the State fov~

her own perquisite. So I felt I was doing the best thing for

myself, and avoiding future trouble if I could do to Kansas and

not have the perplexing question of converting any of the funds

to my salary or personal expe nses. I wrote this as explicitly as
I Could to the National Board, and in my ta 1: with Mrs Hoffman
and hrs. Johnston, I expressed the desire that the National would
relieve the State from an y of my expenses. Hrs. Bennett wrote
re. and I refused’ﬁo deviate from my first stand. Yrs. D. enclosed
copy of a letter from the Kansas Board accepting the terms of the
National: viz, that the National would pay my salary, and expect

the State to pay "ersonal expenses. I heard nothing more. and

 

 -3-

when a month later, the Penna Convention was held, I was urged to
remain in this State, and assist . I replied that I felt in a mess“
ire that I was involved with Kansas. At the close of the Convention
in a talk with Kiss Shaw, she told me she could not sympathize
with my attitude relative to Kansas; that she thought I was wise
taken, and that the National Board had sent a woman from Ithaca
to Kansasl So I consi: ‘Lered the Kansas proposition closed, and
reported to yrs. Price that I was free to do what was wanted in
Penna. An hour later, the Executive Conrittee, a pointed me
Field Secretary.

Yesterday, a week later, I received a letter from Mrs.
Toh.ns ton. of Topeka, stating that the presumed the Rational hai
advised me that Kansas would guarantee my extenses and said
letter contained two sentences that aroused my wrath. The

letter I sent hrs. Bennett is explanatory, so I enclose a copy.

Did, oh did, you read the article in LIFE AND LABOR by Mary
Peck? Am glad she handled you so carefully , but Kiss Thomas
and Kiss Shaw fared illy.

I do not have hrs. Bennett's address. Am trying to
worry through a lot of correspondence for Mrs. Price, who is
occupied in school work all day. Please forward letter to Mrs.

Miss Laura Clay;

ﬂy dear hiss Clay:—

Hrs. Upton is Skylarking in Chicago

at the Mississippi Valley conference,and we know

she must be having a
H

animals,because when she lert here it was with the

l I (’ U l .
good time and stirring up the

avowed determination of returning yesterday. We
urged her to remain until the end or the conference
she ha

and as not yet returned we conclude that

she is finding the conference very interesting.

I am trying to fill her chair in the office

and I find this is just as much a mental impossib—
ility as it is physically. Said chair is
chiefly remarkable for the amount of vacant space.

iour field reports are most interesting.

I note that you have no pledge slips and
am enclosing suiticient for your Chillicothe meet~
ing. I do hope I may be able to see you some time
during the campaign. Pennsylvania has loaned me to
Ohio for two months and I shall do my best to make
Pennsylvania feel that her contribution was worthy.

Yours with love.

 The one sentence in Mrs. Jonston's letter was " Mrs. Dennett
writes that you will not come to Kansas if there is any

UNCERTAINTY about your salary".

The closing sentence was," Kansas people are honest,

Boyer, and will pay their debts."

Now just think of the miserably, sordid lidht in which
that word uncertainty put me, when I was trying to get all I could
for Kansas, and use all *hat would he raisel for the camnaign, and

not a penny for myself.

Miss Laura Clay,
Richmond, Ky.
my dear Miss Clay:

Mrs. Eaton has assigned to me the pleasant
task of acknowledging your New York draft for $50.00
for the Ohio Suffrage campaign, such amount being from
the Laura Bruce fund.

I never think of the Laura Bruce fund encept
vith a great wave of gratitude. It seems to me as

though she, being dead, yet Speaketh, for I remember
how Opportunely came the contribution from this fund
that tided us over in the Oklahoma campaign. What

a Wise provision it was that made you the custodian.

Now that I have expressed the sincere grati—
tude I know Mrs. Upton feels, I do want to talk politics
for a moment. Teddy‘s third term is the subject of a
cartoon which I am clipping from this morning's paper.
Please note that it is a healthy vociferous infant
and if it will just howl ”Reman‘s Suffrage" loudly,

We will forgive it and T.R. for much of the noise of
days gone by. ‘

The G.A.R. in state convention in Springfield,»
Ohio, unanimously indorseﬂ woman's suffrage. Mrs. /
Upton has been trying for years to get some expression
from them, Without success, until last week. Their
action was followed by an enthusiastic indorsement'
from the Woman's Relief Corps. Mrs. Upton thinks
the inclosec red and blue leaflets had an influence,
but I think woman's suffrage is atmospheric in Ohio and
Mrs. Upton‘s personality has much to do with it.

Yours with love,

 Gentralia, Pa. July 16, 1913

"y Dear Miss Clay:—
Enclosed find copy of the Amendment to be

submitted in Oklahoma. It is a fine preliminary, and if it carries
will make possible a successful suffrage campaign in that south—
west State. The suffragists are aiding to secure signatures. The
Amendment is being pushed by Campbell Russell, who was formerly
State Senator, and at one time head of the Farmers' Union. He is
one of the few democrats of the State who has not been assailed
for graft. I do hope the Amendment will carry, and Mrs. Stephens
writes me she is hopeful.
The wind-blewn straws indicate a lively time at the coming

national Convention in Washington, November 30 th.

I go into Delaware in September for a week's engegment at their
State Fair and other organizatiens, and then Will look forward to

the Washington trip.

Cordially Yours,
