Roosevelt Advocates Suffrage Cautiously From President
The article reports President Theodore Roosevelt expressing conditional support for women's suffrage in a letter read by Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott. Roosevelt says he personally believes in suffrage but is not an enthusiastic advocate, noting limited progress in western states and emphasizing the traditional roles of men and women within the family. He asserts equality of rights without equality of function and stresses the mother’s central societal role. The piece also notes a liquor shipping ruling in Virginia affirming that common carriers must accept shipments to dry-territory recipients, but wholesalers and producers cannot exploit this to violate liquor laws.
