During the last 50 years the Democratic Party of this State in times of stress have always invoked the support of the women and they have gotten it. There were occasions on which that influence turned the scales. Now we need your help in turn.

The great head of the Nation and of the Party has come out splendidly in support of the Amendment which is to give us our rights as human beings entitled to a share in the government whose authority we obey. May we not ask you at this instance to give us your support.

It is hard to get a two thirds vote for any measure. We succeeded in doing that in the House at Washington and do not wish to have that struggle over again. The Amendment still lacks two or three votes in the Senate and our friends ask that we bring to their help any influence that we can on the two N. C. Senators.

There are 19 States casting 193 electoral votes in which the women already cast half the votes that go into the ballot box, and 4 more will certainly be added this year. Will it not be useless for the Democratic Party to go into another Presidential contest if this measure is defeated by the vote of Democratic Senators? Will you not write to our two Senators and ask them to give this measure their support?

Whatever is done should be done promptly. With thanks for what you will do,
