Hy deer Hrs.TTpton

I hansxﬁnxzxxseniys received your two metters of the
21st inst. last night, and answer in turn.
SOUTH DAB OTé. While I am greatly in fever of employing and developing
every new worker, one especially there a eamyxign may soon be on hand,
I do not see where we are to get the money to employ Jiss Bowery We have
engaged Kiss Gregg by the year, enﬁ me must keen her emyloyed. Khy not,
therefore, write to lrs.“ickler that we have not now the money to emyloy
any worker them we have not engaged, but that as we are desirous of help~

ing S.Dakota we will let hiss (re gg work there this fall, and that e

soon as we can, we till employ Miss Boner? That is my advice. I think

S.Da. is a hopeful field for e eenpsign; uni I think Inﬁiana might strug-
gle along now by itself, just as the other states h2ve to do. I believe
we ought to he looking around all the time for some state «here it is

do not suppose ‘here is

T

bossible for us to «in'e Hecisive Victory,
any hope for that in Inoiane.

CALIFORNIA; That appealgytouches me very closely. As far as I have
‘ob—serveﬂ, California has Khe strongest sssocieti n of any eta.te there
there is any prohetle chance of a near Victory. I observe from the W.Jour~
nal thet they think it possible to h ve a emptign as; early as 1911.
know of no other state whioh has laid its own plans for a 01
therefore I know of no other state nhich,eo mﬁch deserves our suyyort.

It is also true that Col. has been v«ry liberal to the neeﬁs of other states.
I we ld like for us to respond to this call. If we have no money in the
treasury we could use for fhat purpose, and my examination of financial

reports lees not show me any, o:n not we make an appeal to friends for a

special California fund? We ought not to_let them languish mhile we are '

 

 waiting for The Memorial Fund to materialize, Lnieh I belive it mill do
in a reasonable time.

Then this point is ﬁeoiﬂed, :lesse let me know. Probably, because
you know at once, you overlook ﬂue fact that some of the B.C.are in the
dark “s to that has been decideﬂ on some roints Tuich have been laid hen
fore ineir.consileretion. For instance, l have never lesrneﬁ mhet was
finally (one eith £rs.Brsﬁfcri’s request for permanent emgloyment, or

ether it is still h nﬁjg in :1; b

1

slwnoe arter eer emrloyment

state of Ehich Kiss Cordon wrote us. ﬁlso, I uould like to know
got $rz.ﬁoyer to go : F “ n;y$ as yroposeﬁ.

l have just received the e" s ; Two Vorkings of a Bed Law. The ar-

'gument is not gooﬁ in the ease of the boys thaws hired for soldiers,

1

because that was an unlawful action, and could have heed prevented on other
grounds if the nother's friends had appealed to law. What is convinuing‘

argument are cases which are the legitimate working of the bed 15w. The

vase is better. Eut it has the disadvantage of not showing the
cruelty of the law to s living mother. I make these criticisms because

we are badly in need of a gooﬂ, c

,

neap, exposure of the cruelty of the
law. Mrs. XoCulloeh's LeX is a good argument, but too expensive for free

distribution.-

Dear 313385 Shaw & Clay:-

Von kn0w 0* course 0? Tenator Owen's lanter, and how he
suggests that ie do the thiny in Oklicoma vhlﬂh Lhe National Aeso-
ciation hi3 done all its life,- namely, organize clubs, stir up a
lot 0” eentiment, and 'hen we can {at our suffrage hill through.

I do not kno¢ «hen T 448 so discouraged over anything as this.

Jrom Mr3.Boyer'9 reports I thought that at last {e had learned

the thing to do in a ~tate fag to get the politicians on our.side,
and here is the yrincipal politician advising us to pet the peopl.

I asked Fro. Royer if that did not make her feel low-spirited,
especially as ve had spent such a lot of money and had only 350
members in the whole State. I just have her reply, saying that it
really did make her sick to her stomach, but she says we must remem-
ber that we have a lot of sentiment in the Qtate, and that the pol-
iticians are a lintle afraid of us. She thinke, too, there will be a
reaction, hecauso the financial situation has lowered real estate
values and made the times rather close, which the people cut there
are attributing to the Prohibition and the Democratic parties, 30

that another Legislature will not he so partisan, and she has hope.

We three who have charge of the organization work must

kee} in mind the situation there, in order to guide the action of
the Buoinese Committee in the future.

Cordially yours

Dear Member of the Busineee Cogmittee;—
older HOEGJ in Michigan are very t uchy
toware the National, or toward any outside markers. They seem
to haVe a gart of the spirit of Kansas and of Ore;on. The Ill-
ineia women thought it would bee Splendid thing for them to
*cod literature to the Constitutional Convention and
neubr~ of the Convention ﬁre. Arthur thought
so two, but are knew the older *onen mania not like it, if they
knew it‘ She therefore Sid not say nﬁ thing about it. It seem
the .lder women did not like it, bun the men of the Convention
have ;104 eglenaja sense, (everybody admits that it is an un—
usual body oi men) that they a preciated t. Hrs. Stewart
found gut aboyt these older women rot liking the interference
and she writes gush a funny letter eeying rhe feeme tkie "- a
case which ought to be foilowed out as a ﬁector wank: do it.
That is, not CwﬂBUlt the whims of the gatient but administer
quietly the dose which will brie; ”he best results. She adds,
”I an alnoetefraid to grow old. Old euffragiete seem crankier

than the common run.”

Very truly yours,
