j; door hro.%outh,
I have just received your last lettor, enclosing
check for my expenses to hoard meetings, for which I thank you. I
enclose receipt.

I note the leaflets you could not get. They are not necessary,
anﬂ I do not think you need order any others in thoir place. Our
Connitteo did not make any rule about the amount of literature to
be sent each applicant; but I think you should be liberal in what
you ﬁend, for we have aciecteﬁ mostly chcap leaflets, ano nothing
is hotter than diatributinn liteaturo. so I neulﬁ say, ﬁcno all that

is naked for and that cocoa will be profitably used.

Our Fayette ?”R.A. seems interootod in the ambulance; anﬂ will
be ready to join in any plan that is finally deciood upon by the
Boari. Z askcﬁ that they Scouli not deciée upon any plan till
they hearé the decision of the goard. To already have some contri-
butions.

Hrs.3rake seems to be inter sted in the 'onmn Citizen, anﬂ 3 men-
tioned that you said about the importance of urging subscriptions.

I have receive; the package of new stationery; and shall keep it
to write to stangers,- no you see E am using the old in writing to
you. ‘

I am roally hopeful that there will be a good ﬁcal of interest
in the Wrize Contests.

Very cordially yours,

March 30, 1918.

Miss Laura Clay,
Lexington, Ky.
My dear Miss Clay:

Your letter arrived by this morning’s mail and unless I answer
it now thz‘reply will be problematic. I really want to express my
;”ZZZQJth==gt$s and tell you how touched I was at your expression of
confidence not only in my work but in my judgment.

I confess I am much amazed at our one-idea policy and that that
one-idea shall be centered wholly on a Federal Amendment! I have
never felt as intensely opposed to a Federal Amendment as Kate Gordon
for the reason that it never seemed to me an imminent thing to reckon
on. I do not doubt but that a Federal Amendment submission can
be secured either through this COngress or through the next, and that's
all there is to it, for 36 states are never, never going to ratify any
Federal Amendment on the Suffrage, so I have not felt as much disturbed
as Katie has; but I_am disturbed that the National should let so many,
many opportunities go by and should detote all its strength and its
money to this one single idea of a Federal Amendment. Somehow while
I think the Federal Amendment agitation has been splendid publicity,
it has certainly been very mischievous in creating discord and in—
harmony in state organizations, but perhaps even this discord and in;
harmony was agitating and so counteracted what might have been
stagnation.

If a fraction of National energy had been expended on Oklahoma
this State would and can be added to the full suffrage states. From
the letters I receive from Oklahoma women Mrs. Shuler has spent one
month in the State making a survey, but the organization work and the
real committee work necessary for campaign is still in its infancy.
Oklahoma is dead—ripe for suffrage with all the political parties

ng with each other to pluck the fruit, so I am comforted in think-
i g that even though there be mismanagement, we are going to get
Oklahoma in November.

 

 Miss Laura Clay-8 March 30, 1918.

I agree with you in your estimate of the Woman Citizen. I think
it is"punkz It is very limited service to real suffrage workers,
and I think falls sh rt of the mark in being invitingly interesting
to superficial suffragists. One of our Boston suffragists is
struggling to get subscriptions in order to make a record for
Massachusetts, but I think she is well nigh in despair.

I suppose you have noticed that the price has been raised to ten
.cents per copy, which makes the sale practically prohibitive when_
Colliers and the Saturday Evening Post and like periodicals can be
purchased for a nickiJL It seems blatantly egotistical for a
periodical like the Woman Citizen to place itself in the ten cent
class. In addition this is a most disproportionate price, as it
really makes the issues$5.20 per year.

I know you are happy over the passage of the Texas primary law.
I don't think I ever cut out a black chunk and pasted in a white bit
withﬁgort of vicious joy as—I did when the news came about Texas.
The new map wi h that big white area is most comforting to me.

Yesterday I was quite startled by the receipt of a telegram from
Michigan signed by the Michigan Suffrage Association asking me to
come out there April first to November 5th to do the campaign press
work. While I had not intended to remain in Massachusetts after the
fulfillment of my year’s contract which expires May let, I was much
amazed to get the Michigan request, especially as it follows Mrs.
Catt's visit there in attendance at the Convention. A letter from
Mrs. Catt explains to me that Michigan is in a very disorganized way.
There is friction inside the Board as well as out.

My first impulse was to telegraph a negative reply, for I was a
little mystified as to why Mrs. Catt should be interested in my
going to Michigan when if.I did any work at all f9; the National it
would seem to me that Oklahoma is the logicalhfield. I took several
hours to think over the matter and then I wondered if I had a duty to—
ward Michigan that should be observed. My previous work there gives
me a knOWledge of the neWspapers, which w0uld save time in taking
hold of campaign work.

I have submitted the Michigan situation to the Massachusetts
board and if the members will release me from my contract I think
perhaps I should go to Michigan, but my dear Miss Clay my heart aches
for Oklahoma. You will appreciate my feelings better than anyone
else, since we both labored in that field. Still we have both been
in Michigan and perhaps if I am in Michigan I will be happy in seeing
you there also. I am holding my reply until I get the report of
the Massachusetts Board today. The time is so short that the
work ought to begin almost immediately.
