MBS. H. A. LOUGHARY OUTLINES THE WORK THAT
MUST BE DONE BY "WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS
IX THE COMING FOUR YEARS.
McMinnville, October 28, 18S0.
To tub Editor ok the New NonntWEST :
The recent act of the Legislature in passing
Senate Joint Resolution No. 2. was a victory for
the women of Oregon, but a signal one is yet to
be gained. The question of woman's enfranchise
ment in the State of Oregon has assumed a
new phase. Heretofore we have looked toward
the Capitol, and arguments have been directed
more especially to our law-makers ; but now we
must turn to another class, the people, and I must
confess that the outlook is anything but encour
aging, because we have not the money to rightly
prosecute the work of spreading our principles.
When we have intelligence to appeal to, we
can expect much; but when we must con
front ignorance and prejudice, and know that
our cause is in their hands, it is not natter
ing to the most sanguine even. Such is the ig
norance of existing laws created and amended
within the few years past for the elevation of
women, that we find men questioning the legality
of women's voting at school meetings ; and in
many districts they are prohibited from voting,
because of ignorance of the law. To this class of
mon the great ami important question of woman's
full and free franchise is submitted.
One of Mr. Garfield's maxims is, "We must
confront the dangers of suffrage with the blessings
of education." To educate the masses to a higher
estimate of the ballot and a just appreciation of
woman's claims for its use, is the work before us.
How is it to be done? what methods must be
used? and who are to doit? are grave questions
for the womeu of Oregon to consider. In my
opinion, the first great need necessary to the pros
ecution of this arduous work is money, ami very
little can be done without it. Men have the
money, and women have not, generally speaking,
and, as stated before, this is the discouraging fea
ture. It occurs to my mind, that what will most read
ily faciliate the task of educating men upon this
important subject, so as to aid them in voting
justly and intelligently, will be to publish several
thousand two-page tracts, containing briefs of the
main arguments for a constitutional amendment,
a synopsis of the laws wronging women ami
those recently enacted righting her, the school
,law, property rights laws, and the recent passage
of the resolution submitting the question to the
people ; and such measures should be adopted as
will enable us to scatter them in every nook ami
corner of the State where there are voters.
The New Northwest, the only taper in the
State published in the interest of women, which
has a circulation of about two thousand, and is
read bv several times that number, ought to, by
such means as money could very easily help to
suggest, be increased to a circulation of live or six
thousand and read by fifteen thousand of the
men and women of Oregon for the next coming
four years. Such an inceascd circulation would
place it on such a safe basis that so much of its
space need not be given up to advertising space
that should, in this, our time of need, be given for
pleas founded upon the principles that we claim
for answering objections against the practical
workings of Woman Suffrage, and for all matters
pertaining to the question. In due time wo shall
need scores of lecturers in the field, who will visit
every voting precinct in the State, to present our
Claims in an intelligent, earnest and forcible man
ner. But all this will take money.
If men who are favorable to woman's enfran
chisement and will doubtless vote for the amend
ment if it be ratified by the next Legislature,
could fully realize that "woman's cause is man's
cause," and would contribute sucli pecuniary aid
as is in their power, and would render assistance
in devising and carrying out ways and means to
educate the masses on this important question, the
victory would soon be won ; but I regret to say
that but very few men, though they are in full
sympathy with us in feelings, feel that they are
expectid to make an aggressive war against our
opponents.
The constitutionality of the proposed amend
ment is a subject of much comment, so that oj-
position on that ground is to be fought. We hope,
however, that some of the many of our friends of
the legal profession will defend this point .of tit
taok The resolution was laid before able coun
eelorbefore it was introduced to either House or
Senate, and was judged correct; but now comes
.the "hue and cry" of its destined failure becauso
of its unconstitutionality. Yet, notwithstanding
all this, the women of Oregon must work in
the coming four years, and must work earnestly
and faithfully.
Some further plans of cooperative work might
be suggested, but as this letter is already too long,
they must be deferred until some future time.
