13' dear Lil;

Inclosed you will find a copy of the last Bulletin
from the National. I know you will be glad to see
that our dues for 1918 were paid on time.

It was my intention to hold our Convention about the
15th. of February, but I am still trying to secure

a an me her. So far, I have met with no success; - have
tried hrs. Catt, Dr. Shaw, hrs. McClung and Governor
Henry Allen. I have also vrittcn to firs. Raymond
Folcbins and to ? Iilliarn hcAdoo I have not heard
from either of ‘1» ~ and if I fail to secure one or
the other, I l I a end of my resources.

I am most anxious to have the Convention as early in
February as we can secure a sees her. ”ill February

suit your convenience, and have I your consent to issu

the Call as soon as I have some assurance of the program.
If I have the consent of all the Broad members, '
issue the Call for the Convention without the

a Board meeting in Louisville.

AleOd h the Boa rd, with two exceptions voted to write
an open letter to the Courier. They were so late meil~
ing their votes that the Commission had been appointed
before I know their pleasure It is, however, possible
that it was better not to write the letter as it might
have been construed as a partisan action, especially
since it Would have had my signature.

The majority of the members of the Board voted against
the suggestion of Mrs. Dudley.

Hoping you are well find will have a prosperous and thpy

New Year, I am,
Cordially yours

February 15, 1919.

To the Members of the Executive Council,
national American Woman Suffrage Association -

Dear Council Member:-

The Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, numbering
6,000, has applied for Co-operating membership in the National

American Woman Suffrage Association. This action was taken some
two years ago, but on account of technicalities in the form of
application, the matter was referred back for further action to
their Federation. This is a Federation of clubs composed of
colored WOmen in the Eastern states, comprising states from Maine
to Virginia.

The Constitution of the National Suffrage Association
defines the status of Co—operating members as follows:

'Article 111, Section 7:

Any organization which officially
endorses woman suffrage may become a Co-
operating member upon approval by two-
thirds of the Executive Council and upon
the payment of annual dues of $50.00, and
shall be entitled to representation at
the Annual Convention by one delegate."

The Northeastern Federation of Women’s Clubs has com-
plied with all the requirements for membership in the National
Suffrage Association and has forwarded dues as a Co~operating
member. We are holding these dues until action may be taken by
the Exacutive Council upon their request for membership. The New

 

 Feb. 15, 1919.

York Section of the National Board voted today to refer the matter
to the Executive Council, the opinion being that it is due the
applying body of women that action be taken at once. Please get

your organization to act and return the enclosed ballot as soon
as possible.

Yours very truly.

Mr.Robert
I received your letter enclosed in one from Mr.?iddell.

I am writing to say that I am not willing to make the improvement in your kn

house of m}ich ou speak at this time. The rent I charge for the house

and garden and the necessary use of my team is barely sufficient to_keep up

the house,and garden fence, withthe ' ‘oral roofing I haVe to put on.
Therefore, I cannot afford to make improvements which would require me to
raise the rent in order to cover expenses. The repairs I naVe made have
already cost us much as the rent Justiries in one year.

 ”t.. Lexington, Ky.
April 5th, 1919 .
My dear Mrs.McCulloch,

Your very kind letter is receieed. Such kindness
has cheered my heart greatly, for just now I am quite depressed by then
situation. On Eaturday afternoon the Iy.delegates had a hearing before
the Borrd of the Eati nal, and Ars,3reckinridge presented the request of
ky. for moral and other support in a "tete amendment campaign. The Board,
especially mrS.Catt, Showed some reluctance to have Yy. enter such a cam—
paign, but upon our insistence, a motion offered by Kiss Hay was voted that

the Board would support in every way the decision 0g the Yy.EX.Com. in
any way it cculd. This was fine; and then we had a Ky.E.R.A. Board meet-
ing in Louisville, where a majority of the board members were present.

There is no alacrity to have a tate amendment, but the majority seem to
wish to wait further to see if a Federal amendment will not avoid the neces—
sity of a state amendment. So there we are? Some letters are to be writ—

ten to the absent board members, and then their answer submitted to the
local branches before a final decision is reached. I am unmoved in my wish

to have a state amendment without waiting on the vicissitudes of the action

in *ashington; and I am impatient at any delay, as I think we ought to

claim the pledge of the political National platforms of I916 from the state
political conventions of this year. That of the sepublicans meets in
Lexington May 14th, and if we get the right sort of pledge from it(Which we
can get, if we go about it in the right way) then the hemocrats would
scarcely risk promising less; and together the Republicans and hemocrats
would put through the amendment both in the legislature and at the pelts

with comparatively little effort from the Ky.E.R.A. But all that is still

in the balance. Our Legislature meets next January, and the amendment if

Dear fiednm,
*loase find enclosed a few suffrage leaflets, which I hope
are such as will assist you in studying the question.

As to ”What Change in Woman's Political and Economic Status is likea
1y to Result from the War", I haVe not formulated my thoughts sufficiently
to give any extensive remarks. But in gensral I do: not think the war
will inaugurate any great changea its offset will be seen in greatly ace
oentuating and hastening changes which were already being produced by ins
dustrial and social forces in action before the nor. Thess indicate the
establishing of complete political equality of men and women. and on @-
oonomio equality modified only by those differences in family duties

which are radical in nature, and which cannot be changed by any alteraticr

whcught by society. In the enlarged social and economic freedom of women

I anticipate the need of new safeguards for high standards of morality;
and I think we can confidently look for them in the establishment of single
standards of rights and morals for men and women, these standards being
those of the ”hrist. in whom therc"cnn be natigar male nor female,for..all

are one man in Chrisgnggggi”.
