Deer 'ember of the Fusiness Committee,

. a ‘ . I ‘
I sent you a iew deg: etc a copy of ‘hs. Dunlway s letter.

We haw; leteTH been revising our club directo.y. We try to keg) this up

to date, but it is almost imp0ssible, because state presidents have not

yet gotten into tie way of keeping us posted as things happen. In sending

out the circuler letter, we sent onebo Oregon. This is the answer. She

refers to a.letter from the State Secretary, Elna Buckman. Miss Tuckman

says in her latte? that ﬁle cannot give me the information in regard to the

leesl clubs in Oregon because the county clubs hold their meetings inde—

pendent of the Ftete association. She says that the Executive Committee

of Oregon has made up its mind m» go about its work earnestly and quietly.

She also seys, “Perfect harmony exists among the members of the Association.
5 doféer on many things, but when it comes to suffrage, there is har-

mony.I It is a very weak letter and shows that nothing is being done.

Mrs. Duniway encloses a letter from Viss Pease, part of which astonishes

me. It is under date of "arch Blst. She says,

IDear ”rs. Duniwey. I am so glad everything is going on well and
that the outlook is so hopeful. I am sorry I have not been able to see you
but the pain has be?n so intense whenever I have ridden on the cars that I
have refrained from the same except at such times as I go to the Doctor's
and the Teaxher's meeting. Will be pleased to see you at any time your
busy life n.11 yermit a visit. I hope you received my statement of the
condition of the work that I sent you. Not hearing from you again in regard
to the matter, I thought perhops it had been miscarried. We were glad to
read this morning that perhzns the old soldiers will get our signatures for

e. If you intend to use the same blank petitions,whenever you desire it

I will see that you have all of the blanks you:’equire,as we have plenty
on hand. We will need, in round numbers, about 8000 more signatures to
allow for the loss in verifying. I hope we Oregon women can do our own
work and be successﬂzl in 1908. -———-- ".E. Peese.

Your two letta's of u: 15th. duly received. A copy of ”re
Duniway's letter was sent you. I do not kvow why you did not
I am having another copy made or, if I can get the original . or out of
the files, without defacing it, I will send you thet. Please return it.

I note what you say about Wise Pease's offer to Mrs. Duniway
I guess it is all right tier.

st. Foyer's expense acoount which she seals .n 'rom the
field now are something awful. See H s E { no every Week for postage for
press work. “hat ie more than the National Association uses. Every dew
partmeet of her work seems to be oeuduoted on expensive lines. I think
that is her neturﬂ, disposition. ?he says Her father never was able to save
any money. He would buy a coal mine and make a lot of mOney and they
would live like millionaires and then when it was gone they would have :0

do their own work. See oaunot help it I guess: but we ouﬁht to be careful
about how we let her have charge of money. A little time ago we paid a
bill of $302 00 and now the bill which ehe sends in today is for $274 46
covering three weeks.

I do not think you knew that ”rs. Ringers has never recovered
from her winter's work, is really quite miserable and wents tor'esign frOm

the presilenoy, but Hus. FoyeT has insisted that she let her name stand for

the good of the cause; so when you say Mrs. Foyer must depemi largely on “rs.

 189 N.Iill, Lexington; Ky.
Kay 5rd, 1907.

My deer Mrs.Upton,

Ireturned to Lexington on Honday, and found letters
'from you which, by some mistake, had not been forwarded. They were those
which I emntioned had not been receiVed. But I am writing now more es-
pecially to 9 nd you a copy of the letter I have just written to Kiss
Shaw in answer to hers asking a vote on the Iregon proposition. I have vo-
ted to accede to it, preferably with the limitations I mention in my let—
ter.I think $2000 is cheap to put the question to the voters; and I would
be glad to pay that every year where there is the Referendum law till Suc-
cess crowned our efforts.te see how the expenses are running up in Ok-
lahoma, and if we have eve‘n a mederate confidence in the workers in
Oregon we ought to be thankful that we can shift the burden of the cam-
paign to their shoulders. You know that home workers can wield a vast'
deal of influence and can obtain icon help, indirectly and otherwiSe, that
is wholly unattainable by outsiders; so that we need not feel that nothing
can be done because they are to spend so much less than we had to do.
I do hope you will cast your final vote to go on with work in Oregon. We
must exercise some courage in working with disagreeable women, or we will
be driven out of every state. You know Miss Shaw and hrs.Kelly though
we ought not to send Miss Chase to Indian na on account of Mrs.G., and yet
she has done splendidn work there. \

Cordially yours,

P.S.P1ease send my answer to Miss Shaw to,Miss Blackwell.‘

ﬂy deer ﬁrs.ﬁpton,

I have just received your last letter about Indiana,'
and write at once to tell you not to expect me under any circumstances to
go to Indians, for I have'Just received a Letter from my sister ﬁery, tel-
ling me that Mr.Bennett is very feeble, and to all appearance can surviye
but a few days. His children have been summonsed; end while I shall not
go yo Richmond till I e alled, I would not on any account go away. I have
‘seen him very recentl;, and feel that the little strength he has he would

rather expend in seeing his own family; so I shall not go.

I note what you say about giving money to Jrs.Duuiwey. how I never wanted

to give any money to Mrs.huniway; nor do I think putting money in Mrs.Coe's

hands or That of the rest or her Board, isvgiving‘it to Mrs. Duniway.As far
as I cznsee, Mrs. Coe, Eire. Evans and others of her Boerd of whom I know
are as responsible as any women who can be found; and the idea is strained,
in my judgment, that we cannot know that money is spent at least honestly, 1
Oregon, unless we ourselves pay it Out. I am willing that the bills shall
be paid in any manner that is necessary to reassure the most séruoulous,.
but it is terrible to me to think that we shall throw awey all the benefit
of our $15000 campaign there because we are not willing to allow the suf-'
fragists to manage their own affe ire to a moderate degree. m did not know
tggge were any millionaires in the suffrage ranks thereiiI supposed iheyr
all in the ranks of the opvonents. Certainly, all the women with whom Ill
came in touch were either distinctly poor or in very moderate circumstances.

I Should not even call Mrs. Coo very rich; and  she seemed to he.ve by far

 

 the most money of any I saw. As lung as they have the Initiative and Ref~

erendum, it seems to me to be Chelp to pay $2000 to have the question sub--

mitted to the voters. I See no hole of our Aeeociation eVer winning a vic~
tie polls if we ,en find n3 may to help a campaign in a stete like

I trust that at least we will.help t the extent of getting the pe—

Dear N353 Clay2“

V01: latter of May 13 duly received. I hav read care:

fully wnat you say about.ﬁrs.ﬁun;way, out I cannot feel any other

way than I do; a is . af‘ before, I do hate to oppan you.

But I believ., . __ ; my a;%' Mrs.Duniway nonoot, that a woman
who has lived in . ”tats all the years that she has, and could not
have any organ.zation, and oovld not summons influeno« enough to

advisability of going to

got started and.I found we
had to ., g A go, i . names I Was willing to do it, for I hen
lievea that one reason we had not sucoéeded in the past was because
we had always been afraid and drawn off money and workers at a time
when we ought to have held on. I ": tneroforo willing to use all
our forced taking Miss Gr f” out of Oklahoma (which I think now was a
mistakol, and all the money we could rake and scrape to send there.
When the call coma for the last $3,000, and I didn’t know where in
the worlﬁ we were going to get it, I still thought we ought to koop
at it; hut now I know that as long as Mrs, Duniway lives we never
can get anything in Gregon. I am just as sure of thfs as I am that
I breatho. 90 that even if I thought she were not
the money to herself (and I think aha does) I would I. 'H ,. y to
continue our work there under her supervision. Of course this is

I hare but a moment to wr the. In a letter rereiver} from Mrs.

sorry than I can tel 1 mi [:ertninly hope you TH. the “mat of the “118171.339, Com—
mittee will try anri arrange to keep her here. ”Where is; no one I know who can

I hope you will pardon me for "built ing in" but I feel so keenly the loss to
us, to have her go that Mr. niggersa is. going 3.0 drive to town, over three miles
