hon. coorgo W} P. Hunt,
Pres. Legislative Council, .
Phoenix, Ariz.
3y dear ”r. Hunt:

I write to say that T have always looked upon you as one
of the strong, consionont advocates of equal rights to Arizona's
womanhood, and I have written a number of our friends to that

so that we are especially dopending upon you to give the
goodrich guffrafio bill your strongest support. It is hot necessa-

\

ry for no to suggest to you that more of our Arizona women tnan
is generally supposed inoist uron being cwnoeded the right of suf-
frage, and now that a law has been onactod fining an educational
qualification for the voters of Axizona, I believe you will appre-
ciate the force of on situation when I call to your attention the
fact that the intelligent womanhood of Arizona under the existing
laws is classed with idiots, cniminals, the insane, Childron and
the illiterate. Is this right? We have hundreds of school teach-
ers who are instructing the future generation of Arizona, and hun-
dreds of pioneer women »ho have been aiding in the building of the
state and are adding to it5v moral, religious and progressive char-
of its institution, who under the law areadeniod the right
of aiding in self government through the ballot. We have thousands
0‘ women in Arizona who are tax payers and yet are not allowed to

express their wish as to representation in the law making powers.

 

 What Arizona most needs today, is theinfluenoe of herywoman—

hood at the ballot box?' It will do more to check and suppress

vice and wrong doing than other force. It will raise the power

and influence of the ballot to that standard to which it is enti-
tled to maintain avong a self governing people.

For more than 30 years Mr. Hunt, a large portion of tle nmut
womanly women in Arizona have been wowking and hoping for the time
when they could use their influence in aseieting the molding and
ditecting the affairs of our municipalities and territory. Nothing
can be done at this time which would give a stronger impetus to
the statehood movement then that of enfranchieing the intelligent
womanhood of Arizona. ” ” I on looking to you to give us the
strangth of your head, heart and hand in the canoe you have always
loyally eupyorted.

with greetings in which the family join, I am,

Sincerely yours,

Miss Laura Gregg,
Santa Fe, N. M.

my dear Miss Gregg:_
I was glad to get your letter this afternoon, and

so anxious for you to get the good news that I could not wait to send

you a letter so telegraphed it "collect". I didn’t have any money, and
‘thought if you couldn’t get it in your expense aCOOunt just let me know,
and by that time some one will have come in and paid up. I sent one to
Mrs. Avery at the Same time. Charley sent me the news about the Senatewfi
by telegraph, today. Received it just after your letter came.

After the defeat,that good husband of mine wrote the enclosed
editorial, and the next week a large number of papers took up the protest,
The legislators saw their mistake, and on the last day of the introduc—
tion of bills three partial suffrage bills were introduced, one in the
Senate and two in the House. Father put in a municipal bill, and Mr.
Whiting, who has been opposed to full suffrage, put in a bill to give
women suffrage on temperance questions. Mr. Morris and Mr-Taylor helped
Father, and they amended hr.Whiting's bill to full suffrage and put it
through by a very smooth legislative play. the vote stood 68 to 22.

The protest about turning down the petition did the work. It gave the
stalwarts too much campaign thunder, and they found it out. The Senate
passed it 64 to 10, and the campaign is open.

After the defeat I wrote a letter of appreciation to every man

in the House who voted for our measure, and father wrote that I did a

very wise thing. Several of the men wrote me very nice letters in

reply. I am so happy new that it has been submitted, and I do hope that

you will be sent to new Our victory was purely a political move on the
part of the legislature. The same situation existed two years ago, and
I do not see why the euffragiete did not use it then.

The babies were all sick while I was away, and Mr.Fitch had a
hard time of it with them. He is very much interested in the coming
campaign, and says he thinks we can win if we put um the right kind of
a campaign. Mrs. Pickler has been very active recently and her husband
is getting better.

Maude Evangeline has climbed into aw lap and she wants to use

 Tucson, Arizona, March 4, 1909.

Hon. James Finley,‘vembor Legislative Codncil,
?hoonix, A. T.

My dear Mr. Finlay:

I. wish to congratulate you, and other members
of the legislature on the enactment of the educational qualifi—
cation law for the voters of Arizona. Every intelligent Arizona
citizen ought to fro l grateful to the legislature for this law.

Now Mr. Finley another step should be taken on
this line and take the intelligent nemen of Arizona out of the
class of the illiterate, criminals, idiots, the insane people and
children and allow them to exercise the elective franchise if
they so desire. I believe gour sense of justice, right and equity
will appreciate this request. Why should Arizona's motherhood,
sisterhood and wives of our pioneers be denied the right of choos-

ing their law makers and other officials as woll as paying taxes ‘

for supporting tho government? It has been urged in the past

that to enfranchise the women of Arizona would increase the illit-
erate vote, but this legislature has done away with that argument.

Now Mr. Finley, the democratic party of Arizona
should have the credit of giving women the vote. This means a
long life to the party of the common people in Arizona.

I would call your attention to the fact that as
a pioneer woman and mother of Arizona for 37 years and enjoying
the honor of having been the teacherof the first public school for

girls in the territory, I earnestly dosiro to be permitted by you

 

 gentlamen of the legislature to exercise c right to the ballot
if I so desire. If there are others who =4 nut Wifih this privi-
lege, I do not ask a law comfielling them in vote. I am now speak-
inx in behalf of a very large number of our most intelligent
women of Arizona generally, and Pima County in particular.

Haw Mr. Finley, if you cannot vote for us, do not vote
againat us.

With sincerest regards in which the Governor and join, I am,

Most sincerely yours,

/%4/ fl 5:7 W ,

 

 Tucson, Arizona, Harch 4, 1909/

Hon. Thomas F. Weedin,
Member of the Legislative Council,
Phoenix, Arizona,
fly door Hr. Weedin:

I write to request your support of the Goodrich
Woman Suffrage Bill which is now before the legislativo council.‘
I am.awara that you have not been counted as a aupportor of woman
suffrage in Arizona. I have never heon able to understand why a
man of your intelligence and spirit of juotico, with a wife and
daughter who possess every qualification of the most competont
voting citizens of too territory, could not see your way clear to
concede to the American womanhood of Arizona who so desire, tho
right of suffrage as well as to pay taxes.

Now Mr. Woodin, every intelligont woman of Ari-
zona must feel grateful to this legislature for enacting a low
fixing an educational qualification for the electoral franchise,
but in doing this why should you place tho intelligent woman of
Arizona, oopooially the pioneer wives and daughters of the ter-
ritory in the same class as that of criminals; idiots, the insane,

infunts and the illiterate. No, no Mr.‘Weedin, you will not do

this, because that inclmdos your wife and lovely daughter as wall

as myself and daughter. Every one of us as you must admit are as
capable of exercising this right as the most intelligent male citi-
zen of the territory.

The democratic party should not allow this op-

 

 portunity to pass to give the Arizona women their right in exer-

cising the ballot if they so desire. No one is obliged fin vote.

The cause for which I plead is an inalienable right which,

there u:r¢ but onfi pioneer wowun in Arizona should vaguast it,
1a should be granbefi mfi h-r-” " I deeire that right. Yau
know that I hava leborad ; .“ ?ur the educttional, religiuus and

welfare of Arizena hath as a wife, mother, taachar and in

tie newspapar busin?ss Of which profuss um you are an honored
mcuber. 30w Fr. W Gain, are ynu going to deny me this right? I
do not believe gun will. If you cannot cerscien63iously V083 for
us, please do not vote against a~1aw which if enactad will place
the democratic party in power, if passed at this time, far all
time to come in Arizona.

In states whera the women are allowed to vote, the alective
franchise has been elevated and political conditionn have been
improved. I do not know of anything that will hfilp stateheod more
at this time than the paasing of this bill.

Now I hope Mr. Weedin, «huh your vote is cast, it will be

er the womanhood of Arizona. You wfill never have cause to re-
gret the: Spar).

Give my lava to Mrs. Weedin and your dSughter, and tell
them for me to please give us a helging hand.

Yours very truly,

DAILY STAR ELDGr

TUCSON, ARlZ.

Tucson, Ariz. March 6, 1909.

Miss Laura Clay,

phoenix, Ariz.

My dear Miss clay;

I learn of you through Mrs. Mhnds of Prescott, also through
mrs. Hughes who has been in correspondence with you regarding the
suffrage bill.

We regret very much the hurried manner in which this bill
was disposed of. We were giving most of our time in assisting the
passage of the educational qualification bill, which gives the suf-
fragists an additional and distinctive advantage in our campaign,

Now Miss Clay, Mrs Hughes has written you -suggesting the
introduction of the Goodrich bill in the house, if the rules do not
prohibit. Do anything to get the bill before the entire house in
some form or another, as I believe it can be enacted this term.»

We believe flit would be of much advantage to secure the
passage of the Dean Local Option bill permitting women to vote at
local option elections and then if this should become a lagnghe suf-
frage bill should fail we would have the certainty of carrying suf-
ficient for the constitutional convention should an enabling ac t
be passed before the next election, As soon as we have heard from
you on the situation we wilJ,write you further on this and other
lines,

With greetings and a full appreciation of your presence

and services in the territory in this behalf, I am,

Mbst sincerely yours,

4W

Dear Miss Clay:—
Your two letters are at hand enclosing the receipt,

and I thank you for the money. I am enclosing the letter which I receiv-
ed from Mr. Meyer. He is the man mentioned it that objectionable leaflet
of which I wrote yesterday. You can see how influential he is among I
the labor people, and how good a friend he is to our cause.

I regret that I could not have had a conversation with you
before you Wrote to Miss Shaw advising that I still stay in Arizona. In
view of the fact that we have a campaign on in South Dakota, it seems to
me that it is vitally urgent that I should return to South Dakota at once,
and Miss Shaw quite agrees with me. I have a letter from her this morns
ing, saying that she thinks it is very necessary that I should return,
and asking me to be ready to start upon a moment's notice after the vote
of the Business Cowmittee, and of the South Dakota Association shall be
received. I do feel that if I could have talked with you, and given you
full information about South Dakota, you might have felt different. How-
ever, I believe with Paul" that all things work together for good ",
and I shall be satisfied with the decision whichever way it goese

Yours most cordialle

Wéwz
