 m. «Richmond, mania
Aug.6th, I917.
My dear Mrs.89fith,
Your letter of the Ist was duly forwarded to me.

I think it generous of you to send out the letters at your own ex—
pense; and I do hope ylu will meet with a fair response. I think
by all means we should pay before Sept. our pledge to the N.A.W.S.A.
and I advise that you get a vote at once from the Board to take
the money out of the of the time deposit fund, if there is not en-
cpgghin the checking account after the answers to your letters
come in. We are not obliged to hold on to any fund except that fro
Mrs.Avery's will; and I believe that it is not only right to
do,pur best to keep pur pledge, but that it is good policy to
keep our credit with the National by strict business prompthess.

Yes, I will "adopt" one of our congressmen by sending a copy
of the Woman's CotiZen. I chOOSe Mr. Helm; but if his name is alrea
dy chosen, I will take any other. I hope in a few days to Send

Mrs.Judah the $100 I promised for your School Prizes, and per-

haps something for the National pledge, and then I will send the

subscription money. By- the -Bye, Mrs.Judah can use this $100 for
awhile, if you do not need it at once for the prizes, to help

pay the National, though it must finally be used for the prizes.

I congratulate you on your excellent and timely open letter
about the White House picketing. I saw it in the Lexington and
the Richmond paper; and I suppose it was published in many others.
I fear we are going to have further embarassment from those Con~
Union people; and it should make us cautious about the discre—
tion of persons invited to speak for Asso. about the S.B.A.Amendment.
Did you notice that Sen.Harding, of Ohio, was almost violent as

gainst the Ohio Suf. Asso., saying Mrs.Upton had repudiated the act;

 

 2

ions of the Congressional Union in her open letter to the Presi-

dent, but that Ehio suffrage spekkgss had expressed sympathy With
Ithem in their speeches in Ohio? I think Miss ShaWBS letter to
the President, calling his pardon of them patriotic, was very ill-
advised. Having disclaimed any connection with them, I think We
shuddd have ignored any notiCe of what happened to them in any
public way. I was glad to see that the whio suffragists were
upheld in their attacks on that Referendum , in regard to which
Sen.Harding attacked them, by the courts of at least two coumties.
when I last observed the accounts of them. I think these events
should make our Board careful about inviting the speakers Mrs. Catt
offers; though I do not Wish to offer any obstacle to their com-
plying with any plan of the National.

Very cordially ydurs,

P.S. Do not be timid about your efficiency as our president. I

assure you that I feel that you are "making good" all the timez.

 

 R.R.§4, Richmond, Ky.
Aug.ISth, 1917.
My dear Mrs.Judah;~
PleaSe find enCIOSed my check for $24I.¢7, for
payments as follows:
My pledge to Mrs.30uth for extra premiums for prizes. ----- $100.00
Woman’s Citizen t0 Ky.Congressman, preferably Mr.Helm -----

Tego to Ky...R. A.pleage to N. A.W. S.A.—

Th3 ether 40.57 is payment on Bruce Fund, as itemized on an other
Sheet.

I have written t0 Mrs.30uth, in responSe to an official letter,
that I think our pledge to tha L.A. W. S. A. shguld be paid in full
before Sapt.lst, even if We have to draw upen our credit account

to do it; since we are not obligea to retain any part of that exegp

the $500. 00 from Mrs.AVery's will. I also wrote her that I would

be willing f0: this $100.00 I am paying for the Prizes to be tam~
porarily used to hglp the payment of the pledge to the National,
though it must be finally used for the prizQS.

Very cordially yours,

Dear Friend:-

I remember with very great satisfaction the
interest you have taken in the effort to secure a law
enabling women to vote for members of Congress according
to the constitution. You know, of course, how hard Mrs.
Colby worked to establish this idea; in fact, she gave her
life for it. Just now the Federal Suffrage Association is
trying to put a Sketch of the Federal Suffrage effort, together
with some account of mrs. Colby's life into the various libraries
of the country.

I doubt not you would like to contribute toward the
accomplishment of this purpose. The book will be a small book

and ought to sell for from 50¢ to 75%. We hope to bring the
book out in about a month. Can you give an order for a number
of the books? Or will you make a contribution in any other way.

An early reply will greatly oblige,
Yours very truly,

Rise Laura Clay,
Lexington, fly.

My dear Miss Laura:

, I am writing to tell you that we have sent a check for
$250.00 to the National Suffrage Association, which completes
the third payment on our $1000.00 pledge and leaves us owing
$5226.00, which will be due in October.

So far I have received in response to the letters I
have sent out,your very generous donation, $100.00 from Mrs.
Johnson N. Camden, $25.00 from Mrs. Joseph Alderson, $5.00
from Mrs. Firth and $3.00 from Mrs. Samuel Castleman.

I am enclosing a copy of a letter received from Mrs.
Henry Wade Rogers, which is self-explanatory. Will you
kindly write me your opinion as to what our response should be?
I may be compelled to call a Board meeting, but I hoped, if
possible, I could avoid doing so, so I am sending a copy of this
letter to each member of the Board asking for an expression of
opinion.

One other matter I wish your opinion about is the Conven-
tion this fall. The Board voted against Covington and while we
have been invited to Paducah, Mrs. Post very frankly writes that
there will be no hope of‘securing any large donations and she
doubts if we can even expect very large audiences in the evening.
I cannot invite the conVention to Erankfort as we have no hotel
and the suffrage league here is not composed of women who are pre-
pared, or would even be willing to attempt to entertain delegates.
Would it do for me to ask Lexington to have the convention this fall?
It could be arranged so that the Lexington League would not be com—
pelled to incur any of the expense. I believe it would be a good
place as I am trying to revive leagues in towns such as, Georgetown,
Versailles, Midway and a number of the mountain towns. Lexington
would be accessible to all of these places, as well as to Louisville,
Frankfort, etc.‘

 

 I deeply appreciate your generous donation to the
Kentucky Equal Rights Association. It is certainly encouraging
to have such co»operation as you always give.

With very kindest regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

w" . _‘ i.—

Dear Madam President:

The question of finances for 1918 and how best to meet
the needs of the N. A. 8. S. A. treasury, will be one of the most
vital matters to come before our National Suffrage Convention this
year. The convention of 1916 adopted a new fiscal plan known as
the Million Dollar Plan, and it is important to know whether this
plan is considered reasonably successful by the state association
in affiliation with the National Suffrage Association; and whether
it shall continue as a permanent fiscal plan for this Assocrition.

The outstanding features of the Million Dollar Plan are:

1. Its unification of the financial system of the
Association's entire affiliated membership, and an
approximate knowledge of the total aununt raised and
spent for suffrage throughout the country.

2. Due credit to each state association for all in-
dividuals or local league contributions to the National
Association treasury from the various states.

5. Regular quarterly payments and quarterly reports
from state association treasurer's to the national
treasurer, and quarterly reports from the national
treasurer to state association treasurers of all moneys
received from each state association.

4. The presentation of attentative national budget
as a basis for amount needed to be raised.

5. Stimulus to state associations in meeting as fully
as possible their state approportionate and the preportion
of it pledged to the national treasury.

Will you take up with your Board at an early date this question 0 f
continuing the Million Dollar Fund Plan as the working financial phin
for 1918? Will you send me on or before October 1st, at the latest,
the judgment of your Board as to this plan; any serious criticisms
of it, any suggestions by which it may be made more effective?

If your Board can suggest a wiser and more productive plan,
kindly send an outline of same. Our National Suffrage Board will
meet October 2nd and chiefly to consider the question of financing
the National Association for 1918. Your jusgment is therefore es-
pecially requested for that important meeting.

Sincerely yours,

(Signed) Emma Winner Rogers

my dear Mrs.South,
_ By all means askfor an invitation from Lex-
ington for the State conVenticn. I believe it will be readily
giVen, and that it is an excellent plaCe to hold it. I am scr-
ry that my absehce from the city preVents my helping to secure
the invitation; but I am confident Mrs. Hutchinson will do‘all
thst is nQCessary. If it goes to Lexington, I pledge $50.00

to the State to help expenSes of the conVention.

About the National FinanCe plan;
In my opinion, the plan has worked very well in Ky., but it is
because we were very conServatiVe in what we pledged for State
work. Our Board had already decided on #5000 as the State buds
get, and we pledged fiao of that to the Hational,~ the only state,
I belieVe, which pledged more than $10. I belieVe We can safe~

1y promise agin $1000 to‘the National; but in View of the war, I

belieVe we positively shpuld not baSe our donatfion on a percent—
on an ampunt pledge ‘

age to be raised for the State, unless we make the $1000 donation

a very large percentage, even up ta $90. We must be left free to
accommodate curselVes to our circumstances, in the State, at least.
The National, of course, must have some forekncwn basis upon

which to frame its plans. But I think the plan of percentage in—
terferes too much with state flexibility, and serves no useful
purpose. Giving credit bath in State and National books is, I
belieVe, a stimulus to the local otganizaticns, and a useful prep—
aganda in showing the really immense sums spent for suffrage work.
. But this feature can be retained without the State precentage
feature, If, however. the consensus of opinion should be to re;

tain the State precentage feature, I
- re
