The Alliance Women's Association of Barton County, Kansas, was organized on July 5, 1890, in Hoisington, Kansas. This pamphlet records their activities for the rest of 1890 and it also contains their constitution and by-laws. The group held a rally in Great Bend, Kansas, on October 24 to precede the elections in November. A Mrs. S. E. McCauley gave a speech that is printed in the pamphlet. Mrs. Fannie McCormick, the People's candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, also gave a speech at the meeting. The organization donated $10 to be used at a barbeque in honor of Jerry Simpson that was to be held later in Hoisington. The officers of the organization are listed in the pamphlet.
