D60P10-” WINCHESTER, KENTUCKY

July 1, 1919.

Mrs. Laura B. Clay,
Raichmond, Kentucky.

Dear Mrs. Clay:—

You no doubt know that I have never been
an ardent advocate of suffrage, tho' I have never oppOSed'
wouan suffrage actiVely, but merely accepted the custom
that men voted and vomen did not. '

It is not my desire to dodge an i sue at
any time and therefore when I entered a political campaign
I gave for the first time serious thought to the question:
of woman suffrage. I can not give any good reason why
they shorld not have the right to vote and for that reason
I declared in my formal annuuncenent in favor of votes for
women.

I am entering possiblﬁLpublic life with
one firm determination and that is, to welcome at all
times an opportunity to express my position on any Public
Question gnd I have been invited now to express myself
as to how I tho't suffrage should be granted t< the women
of Kentucky and I am ready to do that.

I believe that the question of whether
or not the women of Kentucky should vote should be Sub—
mitted as an amendment to the KBntucky State Constitution
and that it should be subnitted to the voters of Kentucky
for their approval or rejection and I am therefore in
favor of States Rights and of the voters of the State of
Kentucky deciding the question as to whether or not the
women of Kentucky should nave the right to vote. If there
is anything I can do to assist those interested in this way,
I shall be very happy indeed to lend such influence as I may
have. ,

ﬂu

Having known you since4£hildhood, I beg to
add every expression of sincere personal esteem and to
remain,

Very cordially and respectfully,

It had long been contended and had been held by many learned author-
ities and had never been judicially decided to the contrary, that thee
was no such ﬁling as a citizen of the f;S., except as that condi-

tion arose from citizenship of some “tats. No mode existed, it was
said, of obteinirg e citizenship of the United states except by first
becoming a citizen of some state.U.S.V. Anthony (1873) IIBlatCh f.(U.9 )
