Dear Sir;
As you are probably aware the enemies of Woman suffrage make one mistatement after another about conditions in the western states. I have been told by western men that Woman Suffrage has been a valuable asset in all the pioneer states, becasuse of the advertisement that it gave to the state, and adverstisement is the breath of trade.
I am, therefore, asking you if you can send me or cause to be sent to me any available statistics as to the growth in population, in commerce, in agricultre, in bank balances, and in general prosperity any figures that you may have for your State for the five or ten years preceding 1896, and for the five or ten years succeeding 1896.
If it is necesssary to give me the figures for five years only please make them all for the five year period, or all for the ten year period, so that an accurate comparison may be made and ratios astablished.
I shal be grateful if you will send me this at your very earlist convenience.
Very cordially yours Kate Devereux Blake Chairman Teachers' Section
