THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY

My dear Miss Clay:-

I am vesy glad that you have written as you did to
Mrs. Upton, and I am glad that youhent a copy to each member of the
Business Committee. I think her whole letter of the 11th is as 5119
ly and childish as it can be.

I did not understand that the $60 was to be the actual
limit that Mrs. Boyer could have. I did not for a moment think
that she could conduct a campaign entirely and wholly on this amount:
support headquarters, pay for a stenographer, rent a machine, etc,

etc., and I think when she gets to thinking upon thecﬁubject she

duets
idea she‘Biew enqut\that~strict limitation' she‘shou d certain-
fiu, Calla iota/«W

1y have itemized, as one withfa\vast experience, just what the ex-

will real 2 what a foolish stand she has made, for this was her
#2 am:

penses would be. Both she‘ind Miss Shaw seem to be perfectly happy
if they can have a little dinky organization going on in this State
and that State. They seem to be more interested in getting employ-
ment for Mrs. Day, up in Maine, than for any work in a State Where

a possible campaign cauld be breufhiﬂagoug;l It ifrggjrly getting on
my nerves to think of the $6, 000 Headquarters we maintain and the
little active work the Association gets out in the year. The re-
plies of some of my State President letters show how absolutely inef-
ficiently our organization tas,working. If it were not that organi—
zations other than the National Association were doing the work for

us in an indirect way, I would be in the depths of despair. Willing

to spend thousands on a college organization to please Miss Thomas;

not willing to supplement thousands, already Spent, in the only prac-

 

 #2

tical work that we are doing:

I see no evidence of extravagance in Mrs. Boyeris man-
agement. In a letter received from Mrs. Biggers she comments upon
what we all know- the happy faculty Mrs. Boyer has for pleasing all
kinds of people. I think she is an invaluable woman, and worth a

good deal more to the Association than a hundred dollars a month,

which seems to be so grudgingly given. I hape, however, things will

drift along until the Convention time.

As to a vote upon the situati on, I do not know how
that is t o be accomplished unless Mrs. Avery assumes the responsi-
bility of it, because Miss Shaw is veey positive about her sole right
to this prerogative. I think, however, that as long as Miss Shaw
and Mrs. Kelley are away we need have no fear of a vote being taken
to undo the situation in OklahOma.

I think you have been very generous in regard to the
whole situation. I do not feel able to contribute specially to this
situation, as Louisiana has done her full share in contributing to
National funds and almost all of the money is in.

It is like drawing eye-teeth to get definite informa~$
tion from those to whom I have extended invitations to speak at the
Convention.

Yours very cordially,

Dear MGEDBT of the Business Committee:-

I presume you have all received the program for 10-
cal clubs. hine has just arrived, and in looking over it I con-
fees I Was shocked when I saw, under the topics for discussion on
"Wowan in the.hini3try2 this subject:"The true place of woman in
Religion,- neither Eve, the mother of evil; nor Her], the nether
of God? I

I do not know who is reSponsible for allowing such
a breach of judgment to occur, 7r whether the Literature Cemmittee
is in charge of the prosrems or not, but I do feel that immediate
orders ought to be given to recall "wisvprogrsm- neghificent in
every other respects and have this topic removed. The idea of an
Vorgenization, working to secure members, trying to establish thru
locel suffrage meetings a qeeetien which shocks to the very core
the whole body of the Christian church, and would rally toiits sup-
port only the Uniterians and Jews. I have never met the Rev.
Annie Eastman, but I doubt now the wisdom Of her judgment. I
guess she is a better Unitarian than she is a suffragist, if this
is the way she “ work for use in a suffrege‘club program. How-
ever, some one is t fault in not preperly ' g this program.

In the copy of the letter received 'rom.hrs. Boyer
the other day nothing was said of the fight in Garfield County. I
have had two letters- one from Mrs. Biggers, snot er from
Mrs. Boyer- and they both report that Ellis was defeated by three
votes. Mrs. Biggers attributes the victory entirely to hrs.Boyer.
As soon as I.an able-to do it I want to write to Senator Owen and

ask him'whether the line of conduct of the campaign has been whe

 

 #2

\

he expected it t: be.
- In e letter received this morning from Mrs. Upton,
her opening comment is that "we did not decide at Buffalo whether
we would have the sub-committees which we have had or not; other-
wise the letters would have only to To to Kiss Shaw and hiss Gordon
I have never been.in favor of the ' ' n for reporting of work,
to sub-committees. I think this d vision is the only line of work
where a Board meets regularly and receives reports of committees'
work, but such a 3oard as ours needs to know.many things of impor-
tance that are going on, else when we ceme together too much time
has to be taken up trying to find out how one thing is bearing upon
another. It is the only way, as I said before, that a Board doing

active work, in any one locality, can accomplish results, but the

reports of these ccwmittees are made whenever these meetings are

held.
I Wish to state to the Committee that I received

Miss shawrs 3usiness Committee letter from Ii ncoln, and finding
that she ﬂelt that the vote taken to have ﬂies Gregg do the work

in Colorado, as outlined, had been taken without due consideration.
of expense and so on, I have sumgested to T'is s Shaw, as one of
those voting on that side, that I would move to reconsider the
question. If the vote is Carried for reconsideration, Which I am
sure it will, then it will leave the question open to the Committee
to decide where hiss Gregg's efforts can best be of service in‘
building up the affiliated membership, which, by the by, was not

Mrs. Snowden is to lecture for us the evening of the
twenty-seventh of this month.

You will all be glad to know that we have nad do-
nated to us by one of the city bill posters a space something like
ten feet by six, on Camp Street, one of the leading business streets
oftyhe city, and that we are going to have painted on them every
month some suffrage prepaganda in bright red letters. Any trenchant
way of putting suffrage matter on that board will be gladly received.

It seems to me I will never get through writing to

thank people in connection with the Convention.

I have had several letters from hrs. White, and in
all of them she has something to say in reference to the mortifica-
ticn felt over the action taken in regard to the entertainment at
the Hotel. This is what she says:

" The only shadow- aside from hrs. Williams' acci-
dent- was out meeting at the Lencx. I think I shall never quite
overcome my surprise and diSpleasure at.the matter brought up at
othat meeting- especially as there was no reason for it. We had suf-
ficient funds to meet our eXpenses, and if we had not had, you ladies
should never have known it. I do hope, hiss Gordon, that you made
tit plain to the other officers how we of the club felt with refer-y
'ence to that matter,- if you didn't- as you were the only one to
whom I had an opportunity to free my mind- gleagg go, or I shall nev-
er feel at eaSe when meeting them again. I feel that bringing up
the matter of dollars and cents,to you our guests, was very discour-
teousé and entirely uncalled for.‘ The other ladies of our club wh0.>
were present feel as'I do, and we are heping it will never reach dear

hrs. Williams, who is still in the hospital though more comfortable."

I do feel that hiss hills Was the actuating power
that led bcthihrs. Croeeett and hrs. Capwell to consent to this
‘thing being done. She was unpardnnably rude, I thought, in her com-
ments when Mrs. Avery and I were before the Committee, and she was
unpardonably curt through the whole Convention to me, I suppose be-
cause she was not invited to make an evening address. hre.Williams
'requested cf me not to have her, as that part of the ceuntry had
heard her over and ever again. She resented being asked to take
part in the Suffrage Symposium, and as I felt it would be a breach
of confidence to hrs. Williams t9 tell her Why she was not invited,
I suppcse- unless I care to have an Open rupture with her- I will

have to endure acme of the little flings that I have had to endure

thniughout this Conventicn. I can readily understand why there is:

such ricticn in the State of New YOﬂﬁ, if this is her attitude J '-
aAbcdb /
tiguﬁwnumhéthaadtuahtuhwaﬁéié'bé£t@¥y$dh9ﬁﬁﬁéﬂéﬁdde.
I think may be it would be a comfort to hrs.'White
if any of the officers- who feel So inclined- would write amﬁ any
that you understand thoroughly that it was a mistake, and say some

nice little thing about the Hospitality Cemmittee and its work.

Very cordially yours,
