Stinging the Old Soldiers continues with suffrage clashes
A reader recalls heated suffrage confrontations and abusive parading by suffragettes, recounting a parade in Washington and a police stop. The piece compares militant tactics to Coxey’s 1894 march, notes violent incidents at strikes in Trinidad and Ludlow, and reflects on home rule, imperial politics, and a Marshall murder mystery from 1886.
