A Senseless Stand Against Woman Suffrage
A critique of opponents to woman suffrage filed as a senseless, last-ditch tactic to block ratification. The piece calls for legal challenges to be pursued in court while urging suffrage advocates to secure ratification in remaining states. It argues the movement is inevitable and condemns opponents, labeling them as obstructive and hypocritical. It emphasizes personal stake in government through home and family, and contrasts Bolshevik ideas with American progress and responsibility.
