    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While tf.; most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

The culminationof four years of relentless effort, cobbled together far too often with a poverty of both funds and volunteers,now loomedbut three short monthsaway, and the Presidentof the TexasEqual SuffrageAssociation (TESA) needed help. With the enthusiasticblessing of a governor recently elected thanks in no small part to Cunningham and her allies, the state legislature had in January unexpectedly set a referendum date of May 24 for the question of full enfranchisement for the women of Texas. Caught unawares, Cunningham scrambled to assemblewhat few resourcesshe could in the hope of mountingsomething resemblinga coherent campaign.On February 12, the TESA Executive Board gathered in Austin for strategic planning; there it authorizedthe creationof a Speakers' Bureau through which qualifiedadvocates would canvass the state and, hopefully,shepherd Texas voters to the polls in supportof the suffragemeasure.

  • Women's Petitions to Congress
    In Their Own Words: Women’s Petitions to Congress Center for Legislative Archives Station 1, Document 1 www.archives.gov/legislative/resources In Their Own Words: Women’s Petitions to Congress Center for Legislative Archives Station 1. Document 1 Document Information: Memorial from the Ladies of Steubenville, Ohio, Protesting Indian Removal, February 15, 1830. National Archives Identifier: 306633 Description: By 1830, women were joining in the emerging grassroots democracy by organizing themselves, as groups of women, within communities and across regions of the country. This petition is an early example of a petition from women advocating for a political issue. In his 1829 Annual Message to Congress, President Andrew Jackson called for removing Native American tribes from the Southeastern United States, and this petition was sent to Congress just two months after his address. The women identify themselves as residents of Steubenville, Ohio. Note, from the crossed out word, that the petition was printed for the use of women living in Pennsylvania, and that it was passed to this group from Ohio. This suggests that the petition was not merely a local expression of opinion, but that it was created as part of a larger movement. The women appeal to Congress to consider Indian removal as a moral issue. They argue that, as a morally elevated, honorable body, Congress should show compassion for the suffering of the tribes and respond on that basis. www.archives.gov/legislative/resources In Their Own Words: Women’s Petitions to Congress Center for Legislative Archives Station 1, Document 2 www.archives.gov/legislative/resources In Their Own Words: Women’s Petitions to Congress Center for Legislative Archives Station 1, Document 2 Document Information: Petition of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, 7/13/1836.

The women and men that came together that year had a vision for the study and preservation of Texas history, and while portions of that vision have evolved over time, the foundation remains the same—our shared history is part of who we are.

Printed January, 1917 © CI A455693 FEB 26 1917 no 2 FOREWORD In publishing the Woman Suffrage Year Book for 1917, which the editor, Miss Martha Stapler, has compiled with great care, the National Woman Suffrage Publishing Company, Inc., believes that it is placing in the hands of suffrage workers and others an accurate, up-to-date reference book which has long been needed. It is planned to issue the Year Book in January of each year with a calendar of events of the preceding year and with statistical information brought up to date. For a compilation of this kind a mass of material is available so that the task has been largely one of selection. Both editor and publishers are conscious of many omissions but it has been necessary to continually bear in mind that if the books is to serve its purpose it must be limited in bulk and moderate in price. The selection of material for this year's issue has been in the nature of an experiment, but it is hoped that constructive criticism and suggestions will be forthcoming so that the value of the book will be enhanced with every new edition.

    PORTRAIT OF A SOUTHERN PROGRESSIVE: THE POLITICAL LIFE AND TIMES OF GOVERNOR PAT M. NEFF OF TEXAS, 1871-1952 Mark Stanley, B.S., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2011 APPROVED: Richard B. McCaslin, Major Professor and Chair of the Department of History Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Committee Member Roberto Calderón, Committee Member Aaron Navarro, Committee Member John Todd, Committee Member James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Stanley, Mark. Portrait of a Southern Progressive: The Political Life and Times of Governor Pat M. Neff of Texas, 1871-1952. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May 2011, 361 pp., references, 150 titles. Pat M. Neff was a product of his political place and time. Born in Texas in 1871, during Reconstruction, he matured and prospered while his native state did the same as it transitioned from Old South to New South. Neff spent most of his life in Waco, a town that combined New South Progressivism with religious conservatism. This duality was reflected in Neff’s own personality. On moral or religious issues, he was conservative. On economic and social issues, he was Progressive. He thus was a typical Southern Progressive who de-emphasized social and political change in favor of economic development. For instance, as governor from 1921 to 1925, his work to develop and conserve Texas’ water resources brought urbanization and industrialization that made the New South a reality in the state. Neff was a devout Baptist which influenced his politics and philosophy. He was president of Baylor University, a Baptist institution, for fifteen years after leaving the governor s office and he led the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in the 1940s.
