Massachusetts Opposes Woman Suffrage in Municipal Vote
The Massachusetts Association against extending suffrage sent a manifesto about November’s municipal vote. It argues the Wellman bill only asks opinion, not changing laws, and urges men to vote no while not urging women opposed to suffrage to vote. It claims women show indifference to school suffrage and warns municipal suffrage would harm the state, calling for civic advancement through education instead. Execut ive committee members listed include Mrs James M Codman, Miss Sarah H Crocker, Mrs James C Fisk, and others.
