both of Oklahoma City. Other women prominent in the movement were Miss
Edith Johnson, of the _Daily Oklahoman_ and Miss Alice Robertson of
Muskogee, who were very active in the distribution of the usual
"anti" literature, attempting to link the suffragists with Germans and
with the negro vote. Miss Charlotte Rowe of Yonkers, N. Y.,
representing the National Anti-Suffrage Association, remained in
Oklahoma during most of the campaign but their work was scattered and
ineffectual.

The election took place Nov. 8, 1918, and the amendment received a
majority of 25,428 of the votes cast on it. It had a majority of 9,791
of the highest number of votes cast at the election, a record that
never had been equalled in any State. After the National League of
Women Voters was organized at the convention of the National American
Suffrage Association in March, 1919, a State League was formed in
Oklahoma with Mrs. Phil Brown of Muskogee chairman.

Report of Mrs. Shuler to the Board of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association on the Oklahoma Campaign.

Against the advice of the National Board with conditions adverse
as they were in Oklahoma the legislative committee of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs and some members of the State
suffrage board secured the submission of an amendment to the
voters in 1917 and appealed for help to the National Association.
It found that the Oklahoma association was not organized as in
other States with the club as the unit but was composed of
individual memberships and was not an auxiliary of the National
Association, not having paid dues for several years. After
obtaining the submission there seemed to be a desire on the part
of the women to waive all responsibility for the campaign, but
they said that if the National Association considered the winning
of it a necessity to its program, it should assume the entire
financial responsibility.

On Jan. 19, 1918, Mrs. Nettie Rogers Shuler, corresponding
secretary and chairman of campaigns and surveys; Mrs. T. T.
Cotnam of Arkansas and Mrs. Charles H. Brooks of Kansas,
directors of the National American Association, reached Oklahoma
City. Several conferences were held with the State board none of
whose members could give all their time to the campaign, although
two would work for salary
