NATIONAL HEADQUi\RTERS, V\';\RREN, 01110.

April 18/1906

Dear MissClay:-

I am sure you ought to fiel pretty well set up after
you read this letter.

Yesterday, at the Political Equality Club meeting,
Miss Phoebe Sutliff presided. Of course you know she has the most
intense admiration for you, and when the program was announced we
were all surprised to find that Miss White (the young woman whom
you influenced to Join the club) was to give the paper of the after-
noon. When she arose.I was very much pleased to hear her say
that she was a member of the club and that she felt it an honor.
Her subject was "Hungarian Music". Ybu know she is Dean of the
Dana Institute. Then Miss Sutliff talked about Hungary. I told
the club I was so glad Miss-White had given this paper, because she
was your convert. Whenever your name is mentioned in the Club
all the faces brighter, as they like you so much, and they voted to
have me write you and say that they miss you, that they wish you
good luck in Oregon, and that since I told them Miss White was
your convert they felt they were indebted to you for the program
of the afternoon. we had a very nice little jolly about it all,
and I am writing you in this way in consequence.

I am.very anxious about the Oregon campaign, but am
not worrying about it at all. It seems to be my duty to gather
the money, and that is all I can do, except to cheer you fellows

up a little, and often I say to the girls in the office "I wonder

 

 if Miss Clay remembers how she used to say to us" "Cheer up, cheer

up, the worst is yet to come."

Of course you know how nice our office is now, because
you used to come to the Library, but it is so much nicer as Head-
quarters than as a Library, because we have no divisions of books
and all that sort of thing, and have all the light and air fram
the three sides. Now the park is beginning to get green, the dande-
lions are Just starting, the old squirrels have new families, and,
altogether, if we had thne'm look out of the window we would
enjoy it. As it is, we have to take the word of the passers by,
or my rather who does enjoy his North window so much.

I suppose Miss Shaw or some of the rest of them told you
that Mr.Upton was taken suddenly with inflammatory rheumatism the
day I returned from Rochester, and for four weeks was not out of
bed at all. He is now on crutches, and is doing very well. The
Doctor was very much afraid he would have a stiff knees, but it
seems that this is not to be. He often speaks of you, and wonders
if you are coming back. In fact, we all talk of when Miss Clay
will be at Headquarters.

Miss Shaw says you are standing by her so splendidly in
the work out there, and of course I knew you would. I had venw'fre-
quent letters from Miss Gregg prior to Miss Shaw's going, and I
used to ask her why she did not consult you more, that you were my
chief reliance when you were in the offl.ce here.

Well, hoping that all will come out right in the campaign,

and assuring you of my greatest respect and lo e, I am
Cordially yours , ‘72? :7f 5?.

P.S.- All the girls in the offl ce would send love if I st ped them
in their work to tell them I was writing you. They so often speak of
you.

April 50/1906

Dear Miss Clay:-

I was so happy to get your personal letter. I have always
said that I did value your judgment so highly, and I do more since
reading this letter than ever before.

I feel, too, that the Business Committee had some share
of blame in the arrangement of the Oregon work, but you see the
thing goes back to Miss Hay and that old fight. It is perfectly
wonderful how long and how far-reaching dishonesty and lying goes.
When Miss Gregg worked for Mrs.0att she had those funny kind of
flopping times, and Mrs.Catt told me that once when she was out in
the field with her she took to her bed, would not come out of her
room, and did the funniest kind of things, and I just could not
understand it. Later I talked with Miss Moore, who was in the
field with Miss Gregg as Manager, and she said that Miss Gregg
was horribly treated by Miss Hay; one day she heard Miss Hay telling
mrs.Catt that Miss Gregg would have to leave, that she would not
have her any longer. Miss Moore did not know whatthis meant, but
I thought it was because Miss Hay was jealous of Miss Gregg and
wanted to make it hard for her. This fact and several others led
me to think that Miss Gregg was a very competent person and had
been misunderstood. So, when the Oregon campaign was on, and Miss
Gregg was asked to take charge, I said in my heart:"Now we will
give Miss Gregg full swing; she shall have all the money and all the

help and everything she can have; and then we will see whether she

 

 FWWWWM a. .
r}
S

O

is really a person of great executive ability or not." I realized
all the time that there was a doubt about it, but I did think the
chances were in her favor.

Miss Gregg wrote me very freely from the beginning, and
when things were going wrong and she was beginning to have trouble
I would say in my letters "What does Miss Clay think about this?"
Often I tnld her that you were the greatest comfort to me at Head?
quarters, and that I always felt after consulting you as though I had
somebody back of me, and I was so glad she had, and all that sort
of thixg; but she never replied to this until just before the
Baltimore Convention, when she wrote and said she was having a
rather hard time, that she was not getting the help from you and
Dr.Jeffnays which she expected; and I wrote and asked her what
she meant. She replied that you both antagonized her, and did not
help her in her work. I then wrote her that I did not understand
what in the world she meant by that, for I knew you would not an-
tagonize her in any way. About that time Miss Shaw took hold of the
situation, and I have had nothing to do with it since.

I cannot understand how she would dare go there as an
employe of the Business Committee, and then not listen to one
of the members of the Committee who was there. I say I do not know
how she dare do it, and then if she dare I do not see why she would
want to, for I cannot imagine anybody wanting to take responsibility
alone. I cannot do it, and never could. I think your summary of
the case is just right: “She is a good, honest, faithful worker,
but is not equal to so big ataak as a campaign.

I have Just re-read the part of your letter in regard
to Miss Gregg, and I think it is the queerest thing that she did

not heed your request for the conference in regard to the ministers.

 

 -_3_-

I have also read carefully what you say about Miss Laugh-
lin. I felt perfectly awful about it. Mr.Upton said a long time
ago that it was utterly foolish for us to have herin our work as an
organizer. He said she might have a brilliantmind and be good for
making speeches before large audiences, before congressmen, and
all that, but we ought not to have that sort of woman in the field.
I saw an exhibition of her temper at Columbus a few years ago when
she and I spoke before the Judiciary Committee there. When I spoke
in the most simple way the Committee cheered and cheered, and when
I finished the Chairman asked me to talk a little longer, and
Miss Laughlin said shecoul&;but the Chairman said "No, it was
mrs.Upu)n I asked for". She was perfectly furious, and that did
seem sofunny to as, and yet I tried to reason that it was all rigflt
from her standpoid3.

You need not think for one moment that there will be
anybody in the Association who will not know that whatever you say
is true and that whatever you say you have said is true, for I do
not believe there is another woman in the Association who stands
more undeniably for truth and is more thoroughly understood by
the rank and file of the suffragists than are you.

Yes, Miss Grgg certainly makes friends wherever she
goes, and she is sweet of temper naturally.

You know so many people thought that Mrs.Catt's ill health

and apparent estrangemelt from the Business Committeewere due to
Miss Hay's mesmeric influence over her, and I have sometimes won-
dered if this was not true in the case of Miss Laughlin and

Miss Gregg. When you say that "her self-conceit is colossal and

v
her aggressftness greatly impairs her usefulness" you have summed

up the truth in one sentence.

 

 --4--
MTs.Woodworth. When Miss Gregg first employed her she sent a letter
into the office, and I took the most ardent dislike to her. I was
ashamed to think I could dislike anybody from just having read

her letter, and I argued with myself until I put that all aside.

'However, when I was working hard trying to raise money, and doing

everything I could for the Oregon campaign---I had told Miss Gregg
to have Mrs.Woodworth send her bills and had sent the money to

Miss Gregg for Mrs.Woodworth, When Miss Gregg somehow did not seem
to grasp the financial situation and had neglected to forward the
same to Mrs.Woodworth---I received a letter from mrs.Woodworth

in which she asazmed the air of a person of great responsibility,
at the same time making it appear that I was of no acaiunt in the
Association, and she finished by saying: "If you knew_the necessity
for funds here in the Oregon campaign you would be more careful
about sending the money on time." You know me well enough to know
that I never talk back or get angry, but there was something about
that which was too aggraVating for anything, and I simply wrote her
that maybe I did know something about the financial situation in

Oregon since I was raising every cracking cent that was going into

the State. Lewd 1,i

Well, if all this fuss did not hurt us as to the outcome
it would be kind of funny.

Nearly every letter Miss Shaw writes she says you were so
much help to her during the time of the Conference and stood by her
so splendidly that she cannot help being thankful.

Gordially yours

Warren, Ohio, June 25, IQOG.
Dear Mi 3 '1 C l. 53;:

The sub committee of the National Association having in
rmcaigns and Organizations, which includes, speakers and
“3, consists of Miss Shaw, yourself, and myself. You will
that for a year I have been fussing about the Okl homa
~ut Oregon was so imperative and so pressing that I could
satisfactory action from the Business Committee. Now
-s come in with the Foraker amendment, as you will
thought in the beginning it would, and.Miss Shaw has
the enclosed letter to Mrs. Biggers. It may be that you
:7ll have to do a good deal of the planning for this own—
a d I am therefore enclosing the letter, a copy of which
Miss Shaw sent me. When you have time read it and and let me
know what you think. I think we are in a very bad way in Okla—
homa; none of the Business Committee seem to think there is a bit
of hope there. Personally I have always wanted to go to Oklahoma
myself and start the thing there, but of course it is impossible.
I have aIWays had a great deal of faith in it, but as no one else
has, not even Mrs. Kelley, who is so apt to be hopeful, I feel
sure that I am in so great a minority as to be wrong.

'Another matter which has come to the attention of the
sub committee is the question of employing Jenny C. Law Hefrdy
of Michigan. I have heard of Mrs. Hardy before as a lecturer. She
is an Australian woman and they say speaks very well. Mrs. Harper's
daughter, Mrs. Cooley, has written to us in the most glowing way
about her and her wonderful talent and Mrs. Hardy has applied herself
to us for work. It seems she married an American and lives in
Tecumseh, a little town near Detroit. Miss Shaw did not have tnn
to write her fully, but has turned the matter over to me. I have
written Mrs. Cooley_and.Mrs. Hardy as well that the sub committee of
the Business Committee having this matter in charge is not willing to
employ an a National organizer a woman who has not had experience
in the State. If.Mrs. Hardy is very anxious 0 do work it would be
wise to have her do some work for Michigan and get some experience.
I have also written Mrs. Barnum, the president of Michigan, telling
her that Mrs. Cooley says Mrs. Hardy will work for her expenses and
urging her to employ her in the Michigan work. We have not held out
the idea to Mrs Hardy that if she is an entire success in Michigan that
the National would employ her regularly or anything of the kind,
still I do think when people want to work and are willing to work
for their expenses, we ought to urge States to try them. I knew that
you would not want me to write to you for your opinion in regard to
this, so attended to it and am reporting to you.
