ACTIVITY IN KANSAS.
4 Stirring Appeal That Shows That Some
Women Are In Enrnest

\ Stirring Appeal That Shows That Some
Women Are In Earnest.
The women of Kansas are determined
to secure the ballot. Although the mat
ter cannot be voted upon for over a wear.
they are actively at work and eager to
do as much as their funds will permit.
The following appeal is issued by the
president of the State Suffrage associa-
ton:
n constitutional amendment to en-
franchise women will be voted upon in
Kansas i'll November, 1894 The cam
paign work must begin soon and must
be carried forward with vigor. The pre-
paratory work is begun; we AFRO keenly
alive to the necessity of activity on our
own part Though the conditions are SO
peculiarly favorable, and foes conccde
and friends declare the strong probable
ity that the amendment will be adopted.
there is nothing TO indicate that success
will he ours without effort. A strong
campaign must he inaugurated, but we
cannot carry 1t on without help from
outside the state, and | write now to
urge the aid Of suifragists everywhere
We have no money. y heavy expense
must be met. This work must be done:
all earnest sufrayists must recognize
this fact. We hope they will be moved
by the necessities and the importance Of
tins work, and by the fact that Kansas
IS Il pivotal state, and that to suffer de
feat i'll KANSAS would hurt the cause
moro than defeat elsewhere could.
we plan to open the campaign form
ally III September next in Il great mass
meeting i'll Kansas City, this to be fol-
lowed by similar meetings IN several
principal cities, and then continue the
work of education and agitation up to
April, 1894. During the following hot
months not much can be done exccpt TO
place speakers at the various summer
gatherings, but the regular work should
be taken up again in September. 1894,
and the warfare carried on, with the full
national American force in the field, I'D
10 election day. To be sure, the time is
long. but not too long for the work wait
ing to be done.
we can put into the field this autumn,
while the Colorado and New York cam
paigns so on, many home workers if we
have but the means to pay their ex-
penses. We beg those who want this
battle won TO furnish us with the '.sinews
of war" We promise that orr expert
ence in making 81 do the work of 81
shall not be without its good uses now,
but that it shall enable us to make the
best and most of the money sent us for
campaign purposes.
This struggle is not ours alone. 1t
must so strongly affect the movement
az . H.. s
state in the Union should feel it their own
concern and ought promptly to act as
they should when their own interests are
ut stake. Defeat i'll Kansas would set
back the cause III every other state, and
success would stimulate the movement
from ocean TO ocean. Let every suffragist
take this fact into consideration and
! come to the general rescue III coming 10
