Roosevelt's St Johnsbury Speech on Suffrage and Trusts
The speech defends equal rights for women in politics and industry, pledging abolition of convict labor, wage protections, eight hour days, and child welfare. It criticizes Stanley committee plans and trusts, endorses open, fair business with public responsibility, and praises Jane Addams and suffrage allies. It notes Riis and other reformers as influences and argues women must share in political conventions.
