Westmore Oct. 25 1919
Dear Madam
I think I have replied you
in this once before.
I am not in favor of another
session of legislation with out a fair
recompense to us. I also feel that when
the women pay a full tax and take the
freeman oath then they should have equal
rights with man.
Respectfully
M. E. Calkins

The undersigned member of the Vermont Legislature petitions
Governor Clement to call a special session of the Legislature
before January first, 1920, to ratify the Federal Suffrage Amend¬
ment, and I pledge myself to vote to go to the special session
without expense to the State.
(Signed)
