After a lung and BuTHQSL abhdy 4f cur 028?]Sued idea
4.
J

relative c the enfranchieement cf the white women cf the South,

I find in my great disappcintment that it will be impccaible
for us to make the paint, far it would be, under fine decisions
cf the Supreme Ccurt Cf the United Stnflce, in iirect viclaticn

cf the 15th. amendment cf the Ccnetituticn. The cases are
Strung that there shall be no diecriminatien between indivi-
duals, in the elective franchise, by reaecn cf race, color or
previcuc cenditicn cf ccrvitufie. I had hcpcd he chew that as]
the right of suffrage was net given by the Constitution of

ihe United “tunes bufi wen left to the Stafies, that the exten-
3icn of the franchise by the State tn cnc clean cf citizens was
nc+ a die franchieencnt of another class. I thcught too, that
our pcsiticn might be made ctrcnger by making the clause read,
"the white native burn wcmcn", so that the queeticn could not
be raised cf discriminating against color, etc.

chever I heve new reached a decision cf the Supreme

Court which meets the issue ncinfi blank and says that any such
clause weuld be nncenetituiimnal. I will qucte the paragraph
frcm the case, which yen will see actually gees 50 far as to
sci that Such a provieicn eculd in effect confer upon the negro
the right te vete. The Ccurt says :

"W113? it is true that this; article (icth.Amendment)
gives ne affirmative right to the coicred men to vete,and
is den fined nrimerily tc prevent diecriminaticn against
him whe ever the right in vote may be granted to others,
it is easy ta 399 that under came circumstances it may
cpe~ate as the immediate e nrce ef a right in vane. In
all cacec where the ferner elevenhclding States had not
remcvcd frcm their Ccnetitnticne the wcrdc "white man" as
n qualificaticn for vcting, this nrcvisicn did, in effect,
ccnfer an him the right to vete,hecause,beinn paramcunfi
tn fihe qtefie law, mud a cart cf the State law, it annulled
the discriminating ward white, and thus left hie in the

 

 I

enjayment of the same right as white persons. And such
,wou1& be the effect cf any future canstitvtimn1a1 prcvf1 Sion
, of a Mt te which would give the right of vvting exclusively
1 to white pengle, whether they be men Gr wcmen.”

Mr

my dear hiss Clay:

I wrote to Kiss Shaw that you would be willing to go
to Warren for a few weeks Sometime after the first of July, provid—
ed Yrs. Upton expressed a wish to have you,— that you did not know
whether you could do the real work, but you were willing to share
the responsibility of office wfth Mrs. Upton. I also mentioned
that you would regret very much to have Laura Gregg taken out of
the field.

Since writing that letter I have had a letter from
Headquarters from Kiss Minnie, 7. she by no means seems to be as
blue about Elizabeth as hrs. Upton's description led us to think
was the case. In consequence, I have written hiss Shaw that I
thought we could readily arrange for some of our press workers to
keep the material for the newspapers running, and the Headquarters
group see that it was preperly circulated . I suggested that in
all probability ”rs. Obenchain would gather up the material for one
month; I thought Dorothy Dix would for another; that you would , if
.you go to Headqua do it for a month; Laura G egg for a month,
and I would be willing to contribute my part. Then, with

Alice Blackwell ready to call upon in an emergenCy, I felt that

there would be no interruption of the press work, and that Elizabeth

could be given a six months' vacation i needed, and the Association

would save $100 a month by so doing.
I enclose check. This was deposited when you sent it,

and everytime I have written I have intended to draw against it and

 

 #2

return it. I can assure you that if ever a situation comes up in
the South, and that I need a little money for it, I will not hesi—
tate to call upon you. I thank you very much for so generously
sending it in anticipation of its need.

I think hiss Shaw was very much impressed in her

Southern trip with the kind of peOple that had taken up the suf-

frage question. She writes me that in Atlanta a

Mrs. Warren Newcomb Boyd, who presided at the meeting, particularly
impressed her. Jennie met an Atlanta girl at the Charities & Cor-
rections, and she said very decidedly that it was simply impossible
for the present suffrage forces in Georgia to lead successfully any
movement much less suffrage. However, I feel that indirectly there
are so many forces working for us. Take your own State, for in-
stance. As far asyI can make out your Whole Federation is fairly
riddled with sentiment, and that is sentiment that will express it-
self very pronouncedly in the near future.

Very cordially yours,

7/24; #6 9&0“,

sorry} that being under the impression that the Chioogo tome

all that was to be oone in the Republican tonvention that

steps at all to sogfi letters to Republican delegates. So

vour letter refiinds mo to.flo so, I fio not see how I can secure

absent : ; week fielsys toe matter too lete'to remedy now.

DEMOCRATIC CGEVEHWIOE.I hope your effort will succeed in getting Gov.A&=
one to make some move in our behalf; though if Bryan gets the nomination
all our efforts will come tonaogght. Gov.£dems is true blue, as his cons
float in Oklahoma one elsewhere proved. $0; I Coulfl not go to Denver, even
in an emergency. I do not feel particularly fitted for convention work;
and there are several reasons I should not undertake anything more tdis
summer. You know this is the season I must give some attention to my I
business on my farm. Mrs.Upton has written me 5 very satisfactory letter

about my coming to Warren, the gist of Which is, that While she would like

to have me, it is not necessary to have me. Therefore, I shall wait till

 

 my other summer work is under way, or until there seems some necessity

for my going. Mrs.MoLendon, of Geor)ia, wishes me to come to the suff.age

J-

convention in Atlanta, the 10th and 11th of July; and I am thinking of

going, to help to keep their courage up. I voted against keeping Kiss

3

Elizabeth denser On helfnp y; but did vote to allow Mrs.Upton to engage
some one in her place; end exyressed my preferenoe to employ Miss Bertha

Coover to bringing Mrs.Day away from the engagements she had already made/.

‘ )

r

I enclose a copy of a resolution gassed st Reduouh, by

tion. I did not draw it up, or make the_motion, or, indeed, have any son

14"

tive'ger in get,ine it passed. I heard afterwards that there was some

dissatisfaction with its having passed, but it received no negative votes,

and I trust all were satisfied after further consideration. It is not much,
but it shows that Club women are no longer afraid of the word Suffrage.
”Since the N.A,V.S.A. has i_vited the General Federation of Tforum-'3 Clubs
to send a delegate to all future hearings of this Association upon Bills
to Congress asking for a submission of a Constitutional Amendment forbid-
d_ng disfrenohisement on account of sex; and since we believe this to'be
an educational measure in a wider sense, and that we as intelligent women
should be thoroughly informed upon this important measure before reach-
ing a definite conclusion, I move that we, the Ky.Federation of Women's
Clubs, signify our desire to accept this invitation". I
