think it would be just as well for ”menu t0 have acne avereight a! the suffrage

he wanted to be at half rates. Hie: Ryan thought that it he took an entire year

MRS. KATE H. BIGGERS

Marlow, Oklahoma. R. F. D. 3
Republican Candidate for Commissioner of Charities and Corrections

YOUR VOTE SOLICITED

MARLOW, 0KLA.,

Dear Friend:—

The voters of Oklahoma have honored me by placing my name
on the Republican ticket as nominee for the office of Commissioner of
Charities and Corrections. I fully appreciate the opportunity this
office affords to relieve the distressed and comfort the afflicted.
I should be glad of your support, and vote, at the coming election,
and pledge to you that if I am elected I will fulfil the duties of
the office in such a way as not to boastingly add to the miseries of
the poor, by advertising their troubles, nor wound the delicate feel-
ings of the distressed by needless publicity. The charity that
"vaunteth not itself," but that tenderly cares for the feelings as
well as the needs of the suffering, is the ideal charity.

The transgressor of law, though paying the penalty, should
be given a chance to reform, and the wayward boy or girl be taught
obedience to social order, and instructed in useful trades.

Co—operation with our Juvenile Court Judges; our Superin—
tendents of Public Institutions; our women's organizations and the
interested sympathy of all the good men and women of the State, will
bring about better home conditions, and place Oklahoma in the fore—
most rank of states which are striving for happy and progressive
citizenship.

As a farmer’s wife and a long time resident of Oklahoma, I
understand our needs and conditions, and trust you will aid me by
your vote and your influence.

Will you kindly hand some of the enclosed cards to your
friends and neighbors.

Yours faithfully,

MissLaura Clay,
'189 North Mill Street,
Lexington, Ky.

Dear Miss Clay:—

From several sources I have heard that
there has been seme criticism from donars to the Thomas.
Garrett Fund because no accounting has ever been made to
them of how the fund has been expended. I did not men»
tion this matter to Mrs. Upton, thinking that it might
trounle her. Of courSe, she is not implicated 1
least, Torr—1,, "of: tm‘l. 01‘ the: 03¢ (10. sL m alt-r?
made a full accounting to the Convention, but the treasurer
of the Thomas.0arrett Fund is the person who Should have
rendered a statement to the oontrioutors. I cannot
trust my memory on this matter, but it is.my impression
that the treasurer of the Fund agreed to render such,
statement in the original arrangement} '

I am telling you about this, because I
knovxthat as a member of the Official Board of the
National and as Auditor, you would be very unwilling to
have a false impression get abroad or to have an] con—’
tributor to any fund dissatisfied and thus possibly led
to refuse future aid. I should not be willing to have
you mention my name in this connection for fear my motive
might be suspected of being simply one of carping criti—
cism, but I thought you could bring this matter up in
a Board Meeting without mentioning the name of your in»
formant. You Could easily say that a person Whom you
trust had writ ten you that she had heard that such criti-;
cism had been made and get whatever action would be
necessary to satisfy all oontribut rs.‘ I am so sure that
you will not misunderstand my motive that I shall not-
'take the time to emphasize it. ,

, I am in New York for two months helping;'
Mrs. Catt through her busiest time. I am tremendously
pleased With the WOman uffra eParty Organization,

»and think the administration in in these Headquarters is
excellent. Mrs. Catt is gaining in'strength and I feel
‘sure that with proper care, she is going to make a complete
recovery. She is already looking as she did when I first
knew her When She was still in her thirt

; M It may interest you to know that Mrs. Belmont
7 «has just enrolled herse f as a memoer of the woman Suffrage
“I'Party. J_.W:- ' \' ‘ ‘
' .'3~” I hope you have had a pleasant summer .and
are in tee best of healtn and sp1zitsfu. Yours sincerelv

aurdly small according to the H31 York stan ard,makin: it 5190.00.

about wléu.00 in the treieury Lu pay Homeone to come in for the nonth of
October and learn the business of the office With a View to taking the
chairmanship. If, hocher, nre. Belmont deducts from her appropriation the
anount or my salary there will 09 practically nothing to pay her after
October.

I have succeeded in honing the Frees nureau the widely recognized cen-
ter of information and in establishing the friendliest possible relations
with every newspaper in New York and every press association and syndicate
in the country. All letters have been promptly answered and all the
business details of the office carefully attended to. It hue been utterly
impossible to do as much eynﬁicate work no enoild have been done or to
a“ much attention to individual papers as they should have had, but I oo-
lieVe no human oeing, under the some circumstances, could have accomplished

any more than I have. No one who ever takes charge of this bureau will have

the demands made upon her that have been made upon me in 51213 many direc-
W

tionc,and tnerefore the next chairman may be aole to concentrate all her
force upon the press work alone,and never before were there such opportuni-
ties. The report herewith Bubmitted will giVe a partial idea of the usual

.monthly work of the bureau.
