:solutions auoL ted at an incentive ;oumitu7.
of the histrict of Columbia, Aug.I7th, 1911.
Whereas, The State Tqual Suffrage Association of the District of

Columbia believes that the pioneer suffrage workers acted wisely in organs

izi mg the Nati onalwAmerican Woman Sufi'rage Association along state lines;andglr

that at this important crisis in the work suffragists should be oounﬂ together
more closely rather than scattereu,

iﬁlnwuﬁ BE IT RESOLVED
First; That the Stat ﬂqual Suffrage Association of the _uis trict of Colum—
bia is in gavor of the retentions of the constitutio a as it now exists, with
such conservative changes only will and to its e11ect1venc without alter-
ing the general plan, and requests its officers and delegates to the National
Convention at Louisville to oppose the proposed new constitution as a whole.
Second; The t a cosy of these resolutions he sent to each State Fresident
with a request that she carefullv examine both the ol& and new constitutions
uni bring the que estion oe1 ore her Executive Committee to consider,

Ist, Whether it is Wise to substitute for the present state
to the National Issociation, local organizations having fifty or more
”ﬁhic h local oruaniuauions shall decide What shall constitute Dona ii
beret ip”;

2nd, Whether the provision as to a large and unwieldy A visor 3
consisting of presidents of all local auxiliaries, is practicable;

3rd, Xhether the requirement that the General Offic oers sna1l have
meetings a year does not restrict the choice of such ofI
territory on account of the expense involve& in holiing such 7‘

4th, Jhether it is aivisable to give to the General C1’Ii
to is oioe what standing committees shall be appointee, ins stead
such connittees in the constitution n; and

5th,*uet1or the entire trend of the proyoseu constitution is not
towards " Centralization vers1s lutionlliaation.

Please answer the five questions by number to Laura Clay. I am sending to
each one of vou the Toman's Journal of Aug.5th, the supplement of which has
both the Eresent and the proposed constitutions in full. You has better
keep this supplement for use at the Convention. Hy article on”Gentralizati01
versus Hationalism is in the same issue. I consider the prooosed revision
revolutionary, and destructive of the Ass001ation and its ohje cts as we non
know them. The whole trend as I see it, is to maize 'ous iness" the lea dinT

eature, which is to be conuucted 0y a little circle of cificers, presumabi3

all of them salaried, with the “ “ 5 3 for a patron of "business".

WOMAN SUFFRAGE. A POLITICAL HITCHING~POST

From an obscure political possibility ten years ago. w0man suf—
frage has became the political hitching-post towards which the domi~
1ant political parties are racing. Ln all the States where two well~
defined parties exist, both the Democratic and Republican National and
State Central Committees have gone on record in favor of "Votes for

Women". The Michigan chairman, A.E) Stevenson, says;-"Women are going
to vote. You can't stop them. Why not meet them gracefully."

Louisiana women think it is time for Colonel Ewing, National Com~
mitteeman for Louisiana, and Mr. Lee Thomas, chairman of the Democratic
State Central Cummittee, to meet them gracefully, and to put the Demo~

cratic Organization's indorsement on the State woman suffrage amendment.

IE3 KAISERg THE WORLD' S ARCH ANTI-§UFFRAGIST

In the heyday of his power, the Kaiser defined woman's sphere as
complete in "Kitchen, Kucken. and Kinder". When he entered on his world
conquest-of murder and rape, he enlarged these alliterative boundaries
for womankind. His last deceitful utterances at Essen include in his
"Imperial Thanks". women. and refer to "Industrial mobilization as
without distinction of age or sex".

WOMEN RANGL‘ ‘D WITH MEN FOR CIVILIZATION

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the English suffrage leader, says: "Women
have something to bring to the world which men do net possess. When
women and men co—ordinate their energies and their different abilities
for the betterment of the world, the work of making a good job of civil~
ization will be largely realized". 1

The Era Club- of New Orleans as States' Rights‘ Suffragists henor—

scription: "LEST WE FORGET WHAT THESE IAEN DIED FOR".

1 THE UNEXPECTED HArr JNS
A few months ago the English Government gave woman suffrage on the
same terms as men. The German Government forbade their press to announce
the fact. The latesthiSpatches report the German Imperial Vice~Chancele
lor Von Payer as regarding woman suffrage as vital, because"1f equal
suffrage does not issue from the Committee of the Upper House the cove
ernment will proceed to dissolution".

ORGANIZED LABOR FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

One of the tenets of organized labor is ”Votes for Women". The
first practical application of equal pay for equal work to women
workers is to the credit of the Typographical Union. Straws show whiCh
way the wind blows, and the demonstration which greeted the ”Votes for
Women" banner, upheld as the marchers went by the headquarters of the
La. state Suffrage Association, Labor Day, was a happy augury for Nov~
ember 5. .

ST ILL ASLZING .

When Margaret Fuller, the peer and friend of New England's group
of America's immortals, asked Horace Greeley to advocate woman suffrage
he showed his contempt for woman's executive ability by replying,—
”When you/can show me a woman who can bring a vessel around Cape horn,
T will become a woman‘suffrage advocate." He thought he had demanded
the impossible. A few weeks after this conversation, a woman entered
Boston‘harbor, having sailed from San Francisco with her husband, tne'

Captain, who died en route. She accomplished the supposed nautical
impossibility.

L To—day, the country is asking the service of women as farmers,
mechanics, nurses, doctors, munition workers, mine workers, yeomen,
gasmakers, bell boys, messengers, conductors, motormen, army cooks,
telcnraphers, ambulance drivers, aviators, and 18 gettiny it. The women
are askiné for their vote. Will thq].get it. ,

IS IT MERE CHANCE?

In the Spanish~kmerican War, Wyoming led the United Staies in the
hi hest percentage of literacy in her enlisted men. In the present war,
according to the report of Ade‘nN. CHOWDER, the regiment having the
Ircatest number of physiCally perfect men is from Uyomine. The natural
Enquiry to make is, wherein does Wyoming differ from the other States;
and we learn that for fifty years the women of that State have voted,
and that the educational and moral standards for the protection of
wouth have been in the hands of men and women as’they should be- and
the standards of human betterment rate higher than where men al rs

,
have controlled.

VlSUALlZING STATE SUFFRAGE

The Louisiana Suffrage Campaign Committee believes that the best
argument it can present is to show the suffrage map and let the
growth of woman suffrage speak for itself‘ Accordingly, it has voted
to place in every-community a map showing where women vote on equal
terms with men——-where they have almost full suffrage as in Illinois«
~—and primary suffrage as in Arkansas and Texas. It believes that
eVery man that sees that map will realize that woman suffrage is in~
ovitable, and his duty now to vote to keep suffrage under State reg~
ulation, and not encourage the ratification of a federal amendment
by his policy of Opposition or indifference- ‘

MAKENG THE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY

Probably no expression has been so widely adopted as this immorm
tal phrase coined by the President to convey America's "Reason Why”
for entering the world war- It arrays the "Divine Right to Rule"
ideal of the old dispensation against the "Rights of Man" ideal of
modern conception; Men of the American Revolution died that the
ideals of the Declaration of Independence might become real; men are
dying tesday to extend those ideals to foreign nations; woman suffrage
is necessary for their application at home.

No doubt it is a realization of this inconsistency that has made
the President champion the submission of a federal amendment in order
to bring the issue to the States, and remove the blot from Americans
escutchson of maintaining within the nation women as a subject class.
Do the men of Louisiana realize that if they vote against Louisiana
women getting their ballot, they give their sanction to American
hypocriSy masquerading under the title of American Democracy?

WOMAN'S PLACE, THE HOME.

”Woman‘s place, the heme" is still offered as an excuse for
women not being allowed to vote. Yet, where would be the Army of the
Allies, if the wOmen of the warring nations had acted On that advice
instead of standing ”manfully" in the ammunition plants, and prov1d_
ing the wherewithal to fight the common enemy. Where would be the
"Army of Industry", Whichoin certain branches is recruited entirely
from women. had these women followed the advice of the woman~1n~thé~
home Opposition and become burdens on the State for support. A part
of the development of the political democracy ideal includes an in~
dustrial democracy. In nmerica, the census of 1910 gave 9,000,000
wage earners. It is safe to estimate under the war stimulus double
that number. Their removal would bring trade paralysis. An American
square deal demands that those women wage earners be armed With the
bgllOT'in order to command the power to regulate their hours of la~
bor and wagosi In Louisiana, voting men have an 8 hour day, while
non—voting women have a IQ hour day. Facts Speak for themselves.

‘—_' Representative Ben Johnson. chairman,S

of the House committee for the District, '

last night, in an address before the?

Brightwood Citizens’ Association, dc—

clared that he stood for the establish-

ment of a real form of Republican self-
govermnent for the people of the District,
with the full right of suffrage, and that
he is unalterabiy opposed to women’s
suffrage. He also advocated the right
of public hearing for the taxpayers on all
matters that concern their interests, and
‘voiced his opposition to the present sys«
tern regulating the legislation of the Dis—
trict and appropriations.

In speaking of the pioposed increase
ii. the water ra,tes installation of meters,
and other proposals by the commissioners,
he said that every member of the House
had the, iight to raise an objection when
a. bill or appropriation came up for ﬁnal
consideration, and that some one would
raise that objection. Whether it would
be by himself he would not say, but. he
gave earnest assurance that the obiec-
tion Wu uld be. 1aised at the piopor time.
The objection, Representative Johnson
said, would be based upon the fact that
the-storm of protestants to the proposed
new water rates had not been given an

entitled, and. no one had the power vested '
in him to take it away from the people.
