1" PRESIDENT’S REPORT. MIss LAURA CLAY. ;,

“Some years ago the convention voted that the Executive com— 5
mittee should also be the Legislative committee. Accordingly it -'
became the duty of the officers to look after the bills that the con- ;
vention voted tohave brought up in the Legislature. On January '
18th Mrs. Cramer and I went to Frankfort for that purpose. We ‘
decided that it was best not to try to introduce any other bills than 1

i the one for school suffrage for all women who could read and write
! the English language, and the bill for the co-guardianship of father 1‘
and mother of minor children. Dr. Averdick of Covington consented !
1 to bring in the co-guardianship bill, and we found also an excellent ,
advocate for it in Hon. R. W. Miller, of Madison county. We 5
i made another trip to Frankfort on January 2 5th and found an advo~ I
