Mrs. Uarrie Chapman Catt,
National American Woman Suffrage Association.
New iork City.

My dear Mrs. Catt:—

In my little visit with you while in New York City,
I spoke to you about Oklahoma and my intense interest in the polit-
ical situation there. Vhile I presume you are in ery close touch
with local conditions there through the suffragists as well as
the influential politicians of the state, I am going to pass along
to you some of the information which I receive and if it a repeti-
tion of what you a ready know it may serve as emphasis. ‘

, The present suffrage_organization of Uklahoma City,
rwhich is the one that will have to bear the brunt of any proposed
work, is composed of about sixty members, who, with the exception
of probably a half'dozcn, are entirely new to any kind of suffrage
work, They are I"“ederated Club women and that amount of training
will be an asset. ‘

J The Congressional Union, under Miss Caldenhead,

established headquarters in the Skirvin hotel. This is a tactical
mistake in my judgment. »The Lee-Huckins notel is the rendezvous
of the democratic politicians and workers of the entire state.
I do not know to what extent the National means to help Oklahoma in
-this fight for suffrage. but it will be a distinct point of vantage
to have headquarters ir LeeAHuckins, where the democrats con-'
gregate. ' "

- Mrs. Woodworth writes me that she has sent you a,
copy of the proposed Concurrent Resolution. This resolution will
not be enthusiastically supported by the republicans or by the sow
cialists, but as it is backed by the democratic state organization
and it is strong enough to carry any party measure prOposed, I think
Oklahoma stands a very good chance for eoual suffrage especially.
as Section aiof the Bill, provides "that it be submitted at a special
election." -is naturally mitigates the joker in the Initiative and
neferendum as adopted by Oklahoma.

» From a personal letter received this week, I am
going to make some quotations:

"It is an unprecedented situation. The inside
ring of the Democratic Party, which controls the'
steam roller, met the first week_in September,-and
considered the situation as it affected, not the

deSires or rights or welfare of the women, but

the welfare of.the‘uamocratic 3warty. t was decided
that something must be done about suffrage, but it was
a hard matter for them to agree upon the way it should
be done. They hated so dreadfully to do it; that it
was only stern necessity behind them with her hat pin,
which forced them to take action. There may be half

a dozen democratic manipulators who really want the
women to vote, but the others will have to make-believe
they have changed their minds, and it is gall and _
wormwood to have work for what they do not want, and
for fear the republicans and socialists will combine
and give us the ballot, and get the credit and the
thank you vote.

"A good many democrats thin that principle and
practice should be on speaking—teims at least, and
they have been scolding, but have not yet imitated the
republicans and formed a progressive Democratic rarty.
~Lt took us a long time to find out that the Bill had
been "cooked uﬁ” long beforehand and kept secret.

When the'legislature convened the new members and
those outside the ring began to fix suffrage bills and
expected to get the credit of introducing them, for
even they did not know that things had already been
fixed any more than we did, and when the time camev
to spring it they were as much surprised as we were.

"They thought they cZeﬁupﬂvwx
after the things they have said, and because they
did not want us to have anything to say aﬂout
the framing of the measure I do not see hhw they
can ask us to work in a campaign. We are all ready
to tell them that we do not-mean to work for a
measure that we had no hand in framing”.

Since the decision of the Supreme Court relative
to the unconstitutionality of the grandfather clause hi the states ’
of Oklahoma and Maryland ( and I think every southern constitution
is unconstitutional), Oklahoma is proposing her new electorate law.
Whether the propositions are accepted or not remains to he passed
upon when the law is submitted, but the point is that it is an
EQUAL SUFFRAGE BILL.

, It is imperative that, in this crisis, there
Should be some woman to advise and consult with those Who are'
pushing the campaign. I earnestly wish you could have a conference
with the leaders who have it within their hands to make equal suf-
frage come to pass. -t is not a bill for democratic women only, but
it is a bill enfrarchising the women of UklahOma on equal terms with
men 0

Unless there is some effort made especially in the
rural districts to show to the voters that WOmen want suffrage, not
even party pressure will get out a full vote. At a conference some
idea should be obtained as to,what part the democratic leaders wish
the women to assume in the campaign. Utherwise the impression will
be that this suffrage is being forced on unwilling women. I Can
understand disinclination of the socialist woman and of the
republican woman if she is ardently partisan, to work for the bill,
but like working for presidential suffrage it is a question 0 ‘
taking what we can get, not what we want. .

i From its importance as one of the cotton growing
states Uklahoma s influence on rexas is vasﬁh‘ - x

I
»

In a letter from a present member.of the Corpo-
ration Commission'he says, in role rence to the Concurrent h"esoliition,
"it seems to meet with very general favor even among the democrats '
YJhO heretofore W3re opp>s. ed to waman suffrage. " I think, probably,
'you may remember this commissioner. he was fornier Senator Campbell
fussell, and he has never wavered in his allegiance to all woman
euéfirag e measures. '

it is onlyvnatural that l s1ould feel anxiety about
Oklahoma, and I do hope the “ational Will extend '11 possible he 1'9
and While it seems superfluous to lake this plea to you it relieves
my soul to do so. ihe Southern ULHLLQ Woman Suii'rage Coni‘e_ence
is putting a Special emphasis on its press work for Oklmioma. We
have a large list of.Uhlahoma papers and are much gratified at the
amount of space ﬂiey give us.

‘ Remember me to Mit's “ay. my train Was very later
in reaching “ashington on my return to New Orleans and I to end the
was not time enough to visit the new headquarters in the Capital City.
However, 1*!as glad to have had a visit with you and remember with
much appreciation your hospita lity. ‘

If you and Miss ay are members of the General
Federation Council, Whic h convenes in New Orleans in April,1 shall
hope to be able to return some of your courtesies. If I hear any-
tling further regarding Ukla’homa which has any importance 01 siga

nificance, * Will write it to you.

Very cordially yours.

Am enclosing copy of HA LOW'S W“ELLY Which contains~a little
sketch of one period of work in Wklahoma. I do not know Who
wrote this article, but i think much of it came from the
former secretary-treasurer of the is deration 0: Labor. In
the main the writeuup is correct, though not compiehensive.

l0 nembeis oi tee _lecutive connoil:

Our nation may be on the brink of war. To those who live

in the interrior, war may seem a long way off, but in the want

where public buildincs, FLLtei morks forts, etc. rre new under mili~

tafY guard, “nd where some of the regiments of the National Guard

have been celled to duty, it comes as 3 sad realization that our
country is facing a far more .crious ‘ ‘~ than most of us eve
ever known. ; few days may dotcmriine Whether our peeplc are to
be drawn into U?I at once, or whether the break can be patched up
and the more trsgic consequences postponed or even averted.

If the worst comes, very serious problems confront us. Our
work would unquestionably come to s temporary standstill. How
shall we dispose of our headquarters, our workers; our plans? HON
shell,We hold our organization and resourcesnnosnxhile, so that our
movement ill not los its pr stige and place rmong the political
issues of our country? These are questions we must not leave to
answer themselves. If we are not ”the hammer our caus- will be
the anvil”.

Women not connected with any particular movement ere cell-
ing meetings in order to p188 pointless resolutions of the promised
service of tomen if required. The big question presents
shall suffragists do the ”wer work” which they will undOubtedly
went to do with other groups newly formed, thus running the risk .
of disintegrating our organizations or shall we use our headquarters
and our machinery for really helpful constructive aid to our nation?
The answer to these questions must be given new;

Because this unexpected turn of public affairs creates an
unprecedented condition, the majority of the National Board avails
itself of the provision of the constitution which permits the call
of the Executive Council on a two weeks notice. I therefdre is-
sue this cell to all Elected Officers, all Presidents, all Auxili-
cries, all State Members, (all auxiliares which pay dues on a member
ship of 1500 or more are entitled to s member in addition to the
President), sll Chairmen Standing and Special Committee to meet in

Washington at the Headquarters, 1626 Rhode Island Avenue, February

25~25 inclusive, as per inclosed program.V In issuing this call

xk$. $kw§a €£¢JKFJ»¢&A0&&. EﬁbeeAnwasi §r° §§::fkigf::::vf:’ “*l§J‘\° SUVAL‘

we are not unmindful that the date rm113 in the midst of seve”al'
legislative campaigns. Nor are we forgetful of tho protest made
by Western members that so many Eastern meetings of the Associa~

tion puts a heaVier burden of expense upon them; but the seat of
our Government is here. Our offer of help if made at all must be
made Eggg. I think you will realize that the meeting would lose

much of its effeet and usifulnoss if hold elsewhere.

Even though the press should indicate that the present crisis

has passed, the meeting must and will be held, as other matters

of imperative importance await adjustment. Several States have
sought referenda in direct opposition to the rule adopted at At—
lantic City. The Executive Council, not the Directors must de—
cide Whetherathe National owes any duty to those States. Certain
questions concerning the Federal work in the next Congress should
be decided by the Council, not the Board. Of course, the n,w
developments preclude any vote bn our amendmait this session.

Last September an emergency convention was held and no one who
has studied the effect of that meeting has doubted the existence
of the emergency nor the wisdom of the cull for the unusual date.

An emergency far more critical has new arisen. The future
success of our movement depends upon right action being taken now.
This can only be done at a full meeting with a representative pre~
sent from every State. I beg each President to come herself if
possible; if not, to send her best helper. If the President or
proxy feels that she cannot afford the expense, her organization
should pay its cost. To come is hersduty. Auxiliaryship in the

National Association carries responsibility with it, and this is

ered obligatory»
Anticipating the pleasure of seeing you soon, I am,
Yours cordially,

MRS. CARRIE CHAPMAN ChmT.

The following is e cony of a letter just received from Mrs. Catt.
Please write me what you think we will be able to do in this mutter. I
think it imperetive that Kentucky senﬁ the $10.00 requesteo. Do you feel
that you can contribute or so ure any contribution for the fund for the

hosnitsl one relief work? ‘

If you feel that you con poseibby ask any of your friends to
telegraph Presioent Wilson, asking him to ennoint hr. Freoorick C. hone
of hen iorh an extra member of the Commission to Russia will you please
do so.

If you feel that it will be possible for you to secure any con-
tributions townra this fund or hove any telegroms sent will you nlcose
notify me?

Very

M‘srwd.

Mrs. Gett's letter 's 39
ﬁnril so, leiv.
My dear Mauem Presiﬁent:

We are all heart silk over the appointment of Elihu Root es heeo
of the Commission to Russia. He knows all the low which done men have
written into the books, but he hes no sympathy with any yet to he emitten.
We therefore hone to get a men on.the Commission who will stane for reel
democracy eno for.w men suffrage. We have soloctec Frederick C._E we
of ﬂow York, Commissioner of Immigration. he can one will go if npoointeo.

It is wise not to make this e suffrage move. Will you er 030$ get
in touch with influential persons of liber l thought in your ntete ens beg
them to write and telegraph the Erosioent to appoint hr. hone, who is o
Democret, as an extra member. he rcceivco his present epyointmont from
Hr. Wilson she is therefore an eccenteble personality.

more, we went to send by hr. Howe some money to Dr. Schischhine
Yevein, President of the Russian Suffrage issocietion. Our ambition is to
send her $1000 for her suffrage campaign, $ZOSO for the hosritel for nouns-
ed of which she is the heed.ano which is supported by Russian suffrogists.
We are anxious to be able to announce that every state in the Union has
contributeo to this fund. We are asking EC states to send $10 each; 20
to send £25 each ano 8 states to send $50 each. This will make $1100 ii 31
resrond. This will all go to the R esien suffrage campaign. You will ssh
at once whether this money will be taken from your 10%. Ho. More, if all
the states do not pay their pleoges, the ﬁetionel will have to borrow money
to complete its year. But many persons will contribute to such runes, Who
will not to regular work. If munitions are naoe in your State try to
get contributions from the contractors for the hospital and for the
general relief to be oisbursed by the Rt sien Ree Cross.

We believe suffrage in Russia is the best boost possible to
suffrage.here, and that money from American suffregists to Russian Suf—
fragists sent with the Commission will be a splonuie antiuoto to Root
reaction. Let us hear at once What you can do. Send the money on.

We shall return it if we are unable to get a respecteblc amount.

For the suffrage funi we ask your State to contribute $10. For
the hoopital one relief funds oo~yotr bee . z.‘ - -

Coruielly yours,

Carrie Chapman Oett
