Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale spoke at the Algonquin Club urging women to vote. Her address impressed a fashionable audience of Boston society women and some men with wit, epigrams, and forceful argument, drawing prolonged applause during the nearly hour and a half talk.

She argued enfranchisement shifts turnout toward native born voters and literate women, rejecting the idea of an inevitable rise in illiterate or foreign vote.
