State, and to hold public meeting, some
time in May or June, in Portland. To this
end, correspondence will be held with per-
sons in all the representative districts who
will be willing to co-operats with the State
association. 1t is believed that large num-
Der of persons are in favor of giving the
ballot to woman, and that these will welcome
leadership which shall organize them in LEGAL
associations to secure needed legislation.
Steps will, therefore, be taken by the execu-
tive committee to obtain the names Of per-
sons throughout the State who shall be will
ing to assist in effecting such organizations.
