Dear Mrs Breeden

Your letter with list of names
is just recd. I will today mail the Presidential
Suffrage circular & U S Supreme Court wereupon to each of the
gentlemen,.whose names you so kindly
sind. My idea is to petition for the
Presidential Suffrage not as a substitute
for a petition for State Suffrage by change
of Constitution, but in addition to it.

The action of the W.C.T.U women
in asking for property qualification W.S. is,
I think, injudicious, & less likely to be
successful than full suffrage. But, if pray
advice to the So Dak. W.S.A. is worth anything,
it is not to antagonize them. Instead, go on
with your petition for full suffrage on the same
terms and qualifications as are prescribed for
male citizens; also as a part of the same
petition, ask for also the passing of your resolution if the
two houses enabling female citizens to register
and vote in the appointment of Presidential
elections. Be surenot to have that any
