Gentleman:- Enclosed is a report of a meeting of delegates at Livingston, Mont. I was made Press Chariman and as I have had very little expierence in such work, I would be glad for you to give me a sort of outline for my work with your paper. I am more than anxious to have Montana news in every edition, but my lack of expierence makes the beginning rather hard. However, as soon as I have some idea of what is required of me, I will be able to do the work. Any ideas or suggestions that you think will help me in the Press work of this state, I will appreciate very much. Thanking you for an early reply. I am, Sincerely Miss Mildred E. Sherrill State Press Chairman. P.S. I hope these articles are not too late for the September issue. M.E.S. Nov. 21, 1913 Answered Nov 26 1913 Editor of Woman's Journal Dear Madam: - Enclosed find two newspaper clippings regarding two members of the Butte Equal Suffrage Assn! The association is very proud of them. Miss Mary O'Neil besides being an author is the leading suffragist of Butte and the best known woman in Montana. At present she is our parlimintarian. We feel we advanced our cause considerably last Wednesday. The numbers of the "Women's Club" decided to have a meeting devoted to the subject of equal suffrage. Mrs Wm Roza a member of the school board and our first president was asked to take charge of the program. She secured Mrs. Tyler Thompson (the state president of the federated clubs) a strong suffragist, to make an address. Miss Jeanette Rankin (National Field Secretary) happened in town on that day and she also made an address. The club members served a very delicious luncheon in the delft room after the program was finished. The large club house was packed, because every club member in town owed their presence on account of Mrs Thompson being their state president. A goodly number of these members are anti suffragists, so we hope the addresses took effect. It certainly was the biggest event in the club year. I am also enclosing a clipping of John Mitchell's address to the laboring men of Butte. He certainly did us a lot of good. I shall send you all the news regarding suffrage in our locality. You may be able to use some of it. Please tell me what does it cost to take st?ck in your paper. Answered Nov 26 1913 I am Yours In the Cause (Mrs) Grace Rabbitt President Butte Equal Suffrage Assn over 635 So. Main St. Butte Mont [*Montana*] The Woman's Journal 585 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts Telephone, Back Bay 4717 Editor-in-Chief Alice Stone Blackwell Business Manager Agnes E. Ryan August 7, 1913. Dear Miss Briggs: Jeanette Rankin of Montana says "We do not have many dues-paying clubs in Montana. I think the Equal Suffrage Club of Butte, Montana is the only one of any [*Have written for list*] size. Write to them if you wish to see the complete list." Yours sincerely, Agnes E Ryan AER/EBM P.S. Upon looking I cannot find the newspaper article on Mrs. Helen Fitzgerald's Sander's novel "The White Quiver" (an Indian story). 1914 MONTANA Jeanette Rankin was the young president of the Montana Suffrage Association. She used the slogan "Tell the People" and the voters granted the vote. North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, and Ohio voted "No" that year. RESOURCES AND MEN THAT MAKE A STATE VALUABLE ADDITION TO WRITTEN HISTORY OF MONTANA. WORK OF A WOMAN WRITER Splendid commercial history of the state in one compact and handsomely bound volume - Collection of pictures and history makers. "Resources and Men of Montana" is the title of a commercial and photographic history which has just come from the bookmakers. It is bound in full leather, gilt edged, and is as beautiful as a souvenir family Bible. The author of the new volume is Mary E O'Neill, a well-known newspaper writer of long experience and for some years connected with different newspapers in Butte, but at present engaged in other business. Her newspaper training equipped Miss O'Neill with an ability to grasp phases of historic importance not recognized by other history writers, and consequently her book possesses a special and particular value. In addition to the interesting history of the territory and state, which she has written with unusual grace and compactness, she devotes a good portion of the volume to a historical and commercial history of each county in the state. It treats in separate departments the industrial development of the state, mineral resources and output, agriculture, livestock, coal fields, hydro-electric power, Indian and forest reserves, etc. Some Portraits. A large portion of the volume is devoted to pictures of men who made Montana, but without the usual fulsome biographies. The large collection of excellent portraits includes men who long ago passed from physical activities, but who left their indelible stamp upon the history of the state, and it includes the men who are making history today. Among the later is a class that most history writers overlook but who are the real makers of history-the newspaper men. Miss O'Neill knows the work of this class and they get recognition in her book. The pictures are classified under designations indicating the profession or calling of the different groups. There are groups of state officers and representatives, judges, mine officers, stockgrowers, bankers, captitalists, lawyers, physicians, editors, educators, artists, architects and other business men. The book contains interesting tables of valuation in the state, population, altitudes, etc. Altogether, "Resources and Men of Montana" is a book that is worth while, a good reward for the labor bestowed upon it, attractive in appearance, and full of value from cover to cover.
