NAWSA GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE Wise, Stephen S. FREE SYNAGOGUE NEW YORK STEPHEN S. WISE RESIDENCE, 23 WEST 90TH STREET Jan. 12, 1914 Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, Woman's Journal, Boston, Mass. My dear Miss Blackwell: A week from today, the Economic Club of New York is to have a debate on "Woman Suffrage" at which Senator Robinson and I are to be pitted against Mrs. George and a male anti, Rev. Cyrus T. Brady. I heard Mrs. George at an anti-suffrage demonstration the other night, which, excepting for her own address, was a pretty poor affair. She made some statements which were startling, including this: that only two and a half per cent of possible women voters vote at school elections. I presume that statement will be repeated at the Club Dinner, and I want to answer it if I can. I shall be surprised to learn from you that it is accurate. Can you tell me anything about Mrs. George that will help me in the debate. Her address did not ring true to me. It sounded like the plea of a hired and unconvinced advocate. But this is in confidence and meant only for you. Sincerely yours, Stephen S. Wise I am to be in Boston tomorrow, and shall try to drop in at the office of the Journal if I can manage it.
