to myself, I must say that I never even
suggested that she should act as my
proxy in the Executive Committee. I
thought she understood that Texas was
not entitled to enough delegates so that
the Texas W.S.A. could even make her a dele-
gate to the N.A.W.S.A. convention, even if the
Texas W.S.A. had wished it. I was some
what bothered that she was there knowing
something about the work in Texas without
knowing what a delegate should know
about it, — I deeply regret that I was not
there, though you as our State president
had the right to the only vote Texas was
entitled to. If the Suffrage work had
not been so new to her, I think she would
have realized better what we talked over
while she was here, — after she had read
over the N.A.W.S.A. constitution, I did talk
about some of its points.
I have been given the impression that
Texas did not have a delegate that was
recognized at the convention at Philadel-
phia. Is it possible that you did not
have a vote in the convention?
I am still very anxious to know whom
you consider the State officer who is
a representative in the executive commit-
tee of the N.A.W.S.A. It was decided
that I should cast the Texas vote at
the Seattle convention.
