I hope that the foicidLBohrd will ;porove of the work I
have done under these most peculiar conditions.

The vote on Mrs. ficyer‘e measure is in from everybody ed,
while there are some votes against the payment, dhore are a sufficient
number in favor to carry it and the Treasurer will send the check.

have also received several letters from Kansas. Itis
impossible or us to copy all of these letters and send them out to the
Board, we would have to have another Typist to do it, but one is from

hrs. thnston, the wife of the Shief Justice erd the other from hrs.
Hoffman, both written since the; received a copy of the letter which came
from fire. Monroe which I sent them bath. Ihey both feel per_ectly upset
by the whole situation. It was done in a sly manner While hrs. Hoffman
was in New Orleans for a few days and firs. Johnston, though in the city,
and a memher of the Board, knew nothino about it. firs. Johnston

says she answered TV letter almost immediatelv on receiving it because
she was so upset but in the meantime she had telegraphed to one of the
ladies Whose name is attached to this letter and this lady said she never
Sig ed it and norld not hare signed it such a letter 5 how whether

that is true :f the orhere or not I do not know but evidently there is
sonething oi: ~ “re. Johnston and firs. hoffman say that Mrs.Monroe
is a nest ungrfp~iL ', -:v;m, her rethods are deplorable and that she is
full of anhi ion ~ 1. f.' and her newspaper ability makes other women
afraid of her V= .1. l does not care what she writes about them and

i should judge ”‘"» vi ' hear that she is a young edition of Abigail
Scott fluniuay. “wth Hrs. Hoffiman and fire. Jenneton think it would be
saver; great damage not to have Miss Gregg worn in the State, that they
have nobody to send out. They toth say the statement that she spoke on the
initiative and referendum is untrue, that the only reference she made to

it nae in regard to Arizona, that the women of Arizona hoped that if
Congress accepted the constitution of Arizona they Could, through the
initiative and referendum , secure suffrage afterwards, and dies Gregg never,
spoke against the Presidential suffrage bill . She writes me that she
felt with Mrs. befman, Hrs. JOhneton and others that the Presidential
Suffrage bill introduced at that time endangered the panxXXxnxmixx

passage of the other bill, that they were afraid they would give them

a Presidential Suffrage bill instead of the full suffrage amendment, sub-
stituting that for the other and they advised them not to do it but

Mrs, Monroe did do it against the advice of the State Officers, they

all kept still about it hoping that the Lagislature would not substitute
it for the Full Suffrage bill, but still, because they did not want to

stir up Mrs. honroe, they kept quiet.

Miss Gregg wants to know what she shall dOy She is doing a
good deal of correspondence about Arizona I judge in assisting Mrs. Hunds
and Mrs. Munds seems to be very desirous of her help, and she wants to know
if she shall go home for a wok and do that sort of Work. Another point
she raises and that is in the test it is impossible to get reporters to go
to public meetings and so there is very little said in thep papers dout
suffrage meetings, but an associated press man has told her, if she will
get outlines of addresses and have them ready, he will use them whenever she

before her and she said impulsively "how it is very fortunate that you
came to me just at this time because Mr. Stubhs the President of the
Nevada University is in the city and I will give you a letter of intro3
duction to him". In five minutes she had the letter of introduction

ready and I started off again to find or. Stubhe. He was not at his Hotel
and so I wrote him.a letter enclosing Ere. Hockey's letter of introduction.
He wrote me inviting me to lunch with him the next day at the Hotel and so
to lunch I went and there was with him the Chancellor of the University,
one of the letding politicians of the State. to three had lunch together
and I laid before them my thOught in regard to Nevada. First I wanted
their co-operction and or. Stubbs told me he was going to washington and
he would intervi w the Senators and see how the, atood, theother gentleman,
the is a lawyer, at first was opposed to suffrage, or rather not opposed
so much as had not thought anything about it, but when I tolé him the
advantages which would come to Nevada from women suffrage, how it had been
the prime boom for every State of the that which had it and I asked him if
there was any State in the that talked so much about as the four States
which had suffrage and new Washington was the one topic of conversation
because it had just given it and the other States Wofe never mentioned in
any of our public meetings and we were holding hundreds. That seemed to
impress them very much and finally they both got so interested that this'
young man said he would get his partner,who is a Judge, to draw up a.hill
for us. The President of the University said he would see the members

of the Legislature and get the right man to introduce it. The other one

said he had great influence with the three young new leaders in the House
and he would use it with them, in fact before i left the luncheon it
almost seemed as if we had the amendment in our pockets. Then I asked
them what we should do to help and they both said the mackays could do
more than anyhody else. Both these gentlemen had seen Mrea hackay‘c
Tableau): and the}; said that if a copy of these Tableau}: could be laid

on the desk of each member with Mrs. Mackay‘e little speachc which she"
gayo, and one or two good suffrage leaflets, they were sure the thing would
go through. I consulted with hrs. hockey, who certainly is a.woman of
action, simply because she has the money to act with, and in less than
three days she had chipped 100 copies of each one of the documents and'we
shipped from our Headquarters copies of the kind of literature to go with
it; ~

 

 Official Board.

Mr . Stubbe was late in getting home and before he
got home the bill had been introduced and a lady e Misc J.E.Wler of the
University faculty had been down to look after it and a fire. Stenielaeski
made a magnificent speech for it. In the meantime we sent Ere, Bennett‘s
leaflet ‘tmy Legislators ehoold submit the Woman Suffrage Amendment to the
Voters” to each of the Members and very econ it passed the Lower house.
I received a letter from hr. Stubbe who said it wee very doubtful of
getting through the Senate as the opposition seemed to come from there.
I ihmeéiately wrote Hrs. Mackay and urged her to get hr. Hacker to
teleg1aph to Some of the leading Senatora to use their influence in every
possible way to get it through. I have not yet heard Whether Err hockey
did so or not, hot I know that within three or four days after I wrote
to era. Meckey the amendment passed the Senate so I re her cahclude there
was eome telegraphtng done.

Immediately on reaching home yesterday I wrote fire.fieckay
again asking for an interview because I felt that if she could thke the
thing in hand to advise and counsel with them out there or that we should,
but it was uselese for two sets of peoyle to be doing it that they
might he contradictory. Wow I fully believe that if hrs, Hackay taken
hold of the thing it will go through and i hope that she will. 1 do not
think it is necessary for much of a campaign there, the important thing
would he to reach the voters with the right kind of literature, Now, as
there are only eight thousand Voters, it seems to me that if about once
in three months from how to election each voter r ceived in a two cent
stamped cover the right kind of literature, and I think it had better he
literature from the hockey Society as far as possible, that that would be
the best kind of campaign to carry on in Nevada. Of course, if I could
have my own way about it I would tr; to get fire. hackay to send Ere.Boyer
out there, not to hold meetings, not to make any noise, but to quietly
manage the Headquarters from.which could he sent the material to the
voters, so that it would all go out from Nevada and not seem to be coming
from the East. Of course it would be better if there was a trained Nevada
woman to do it but 1 do not know anybody who could do it in the same kind
of a way that Mrs. Boyer could. But I am going to here an interview with
fire. mackey as soon as possible and I will let you know the result.

Of course this is just a hasty review of some of the
correspondence l have been haying out there, for I here written to the
different women as well as to Mr. Stubbs, and I thought that it woold be
just as well for you to know that the work in Nevada did not spring
out of the earth but that there has been considerable thought and time
given to it. 33 only hOpe for it is in the fact that there are so few
voters no that the M okays are so dead in earnest xxx new. Mrs.fietey
is dead in earnest this year, you can never tell whether she will be another
year and, therefore, I thought it was best to make use of her influence

while she was interested.

 My dear Miss Shaw:
1 am sending formal application for admission to the

National, in the event that it is needed. We have not as yet com—
pleted the details of the organization because I am very busy, as I an
preparing to attend the convention. I will be in Louisville on the morn—

ing of the 20th., in time to attend the Jubilee. I will attempt to say

a few words of greeting from the Washington suffragists.
Mrs. Hutton and Mrs. Shores will also come as representatives

of the Wash. Suffrage League, and if possible I trust they will be made

fraternal delegates. We will have qualified delegates at the next

convention.
I believe we will be able to build up quite a large organiza—

tion in this state~ at least strong in force if not in numbers.

With happy anticipations of meeting you in Louisville on the
20th-, and trusting you are in excellent health for that trying occas—

ion, I am,

Loyally yours,
