For the Suffrage Amendment Campaign
in the Seventh District, Kansas.
WHEREAS, The general feeling Of un.
rest and changing conditions Of the hour
demand broader and more careful
thought from all classes, and,
Whereas, We believe that in this gen.
eralupheaval OF time honored traditions
and conservatism, the advice, counsel
and ballot OF woman is needed more
than ever before in the state and ma.
tional affairs, and,
Whereas, The legislature OF the state
has submitted to the voters OF Kansas
the question OF woman's ballot: There
lore, We pledge ourselves to lay aside, az
far as may be consistent, all other work
or cares, to devote all our talents and
powers, and all available time TO the
work OF the coming campaign; ard we
urge all Kansas women to do the same.
l. We recommend that the district
president appoint county president for
each OF the thirty-seven counties OF the
district; that each county president ap-
point an executive committee, Of not
less than three persons-selected ON as
many political parties 40 possible,-to
cooperate with her in arransing for
meetings in towns and school districts
OF the county, organizing campaign
clubs and in every way helping on the
work. We further recommend that in
part, this committee consist OF men,
who possess mental and moral worth
and are good suffragists; also that the
county president be empowered to add
desirable helpers to the county executive
committee at any time.
2. We recommend the district super
intendent OF press work to see that all
available papers in the district, OF all
political parties, carefully avoiding par
tisan preferences, be supplied with items
calculated to help our cause.
g.. We recommend that the district
sup efintendent Of press work appoint a
county superintendent IN each county
OF the district, whose duty it
shall be to interview the edi-
tors OF her county, secure a
column, or what space she can in their
papers, and see that this space is filled
with articles supplied by herself or other
local talent, or by the district superin.
tendent. And both county and district
superintendent shall communicate with
any person at home or abroad, who
they believe will help by giving fresh and
original articles for publication.
4. We recommend that the county
superintendent have power to appoint
editors OF the suffrage department in
any paper when she may deem it neces-
sary; but it shall be her duty to see that
the work is well and faithfully done.
And we suggest to our press workers, in
order not to become burdensome to ed.
itors, that they study brevity in their
work. 1t shall also be the duty OF each
county president and superintendent to
keep the district president and superin.
tendent informed as to the condition Of
the work in her county, and its most
faithful and efficient workers.
8. We recommend that an enrolment
book be in the hands Of all workers
wherever a suffrage meeting is held; that
said book shall contain pledges with two
columns, on two separate pages, one for
voters, with pledge; ave pledge our,
selves to the women Of our state, that
we willvote for the amendment to strike
male from ONT state constitution. u
The other for women with the heading;
I'VE, the undersigned women, desire
that the men OF Kansas shall vote to
strike male from our state constitu
