We believe that:

• The right of the individual to achieve the best that is within him, as long as he respects the rights of others, is the source of our Nation's strength.

• Government exists to protect the freedom of opportunity in which each individual's creative ability can flourish.

• Government activities should be limited to those things that people cannot do at all, or can-not do so well for themselves.

• The most effective government is government close to the people. • That both government and society should assist those who cannot

provide for themselves, but that every effort should be made to help them become self-supporting, productive citizens with pride in their independence.

• Equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity belong to all, regardless of race, creed, age, sex, and national origin.

• The preservation of our Nation and the security of our citizens depend upon the Constitution, the laws and the courts, and that respect for them is the responsibility of every individual.

• Government is accountable for maintaining sound money and a responsible economy. Individual rights, liberties, and properties are continually eroded when citizens are op-pressed by excessive taxation, inflation, government waste and over regulation.

• Government is responsible for national defense and that only a strong America can remain a free America.

• It is absolutely essential to maintain a strong national defense posture in order that we may, at all times, negotiate from a position of strength, not weakness, in our continuing efforts toward world peace and friendship.

These concepts are the foundation of our national strength and that the Republican Party, which is committed to their preservation, is the party of today and the party for the future.

THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT

of 31

On June 4, 1919, the 66th U.S. Congress passed the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. To complete the adoption of the amendment (which would give women the right to vote), three-fourths of the states had to ratify the amendment. In Tennessee, Governor A. H. Roberts convened the General Assembly on August 9, 1920. Among those in the legislative body was Harry T. Burn (R) of McMinn County, the youngest member of the House. He was not pledged to either side of the issue. Ratification was a hard-fought battle in Tennessee. Suffragists and Antis had been in Nashville all summer preparing for the fight. Both sides made the Hermitage Hotel their headquarters during this time. On August 19, 1920, the amendment came up for a vote amid yellow roses worn by the suffragists and red roses worn by the Antis. A motion was made to table the amendment. If that motion passed, the 19th Amendment would be dead in Tennessee. The motion was defeated by a tie vote. A vote on the original motion, the ratification of the 19th Amendment, was called for. The ratificationists knew they had 48 votes, one short of a majority of 49. As the roll was called, Harry T. Burn was the member of the General Assembly who cast the much-needed 49th vote. The motion passed 49 to 47. Why had Harry T. Burn voted to ratify the 19th Amendment? This is how Mr. Burns explained his vote to his colleagues on the House floor the day after the vote, “I know that a mother's advice is always safest for her boy to follow, and my mother wanted me to vote for ratification.” Mrs. J. L. Burns of Niota, Tennessee, had written the following letter to her son and he had it in his pocket on August 19, 1920. Dear Son: Hurrah and vote for suffrage! Don't keep them in doubt! I notice some of the speeches against. They were bitter. I have been watching to see how you stood, but have not noticed anything yet. Don't forget to be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt (Carrie Chapman Catt) put the "rat" in ratification.

TENNESSEE FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN

of 31

OUR HISTORY Republican Women's Clubs have existed for over 100 years. The oldest Club on record was founded in Salt Lake City in the late 1800's. Miss Marion E. Martin, the oldest Assistant Chairman of the Republican National Committee, held an organizational meeting in Chicago in 1937, which led to the founding of the National Federation of Republican Women during a conference held at the Palmer House in Chicago on September 23-24, 1938. The organization originally was known as the National Federation of Women's Republican Clubs of America. The name was changed in January 1953 to the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW). The seal of the NFRW is the American Eagle, king of birds, holding a quill pen and standing guard over our most treasured tool of democracy - the ballot box. The seal was adopted at the Biennial Convention in 1944. Before the ratification of the 19th Amendment, Mrs. Tom J. Davis of Chattanooga organized Republican Women in her district to work for Republican candidates. The founder and first president of the Tennessee Federation was Mrs. Alice Elder (1955-62). Lillie Helton, charter member of Hamblen County Republican Women, remembers traveling to Mrs. Eider's home on Elders Mountain in Chattanooga and working with a group of women as they organized clubs in the third district and also other districts across the state before Tennessee became affiliated with the National Federation. Women from Tennessee who served on the Republican National Committee were: (Mrs. Mary G. Howard served as an associate member of the RNC.)
