Women Picket at Republicans Convention for Suffrage
Pickets from the National Woman's party lined the Coliseum sidewalks during the Republican National Convention opening in Chicago. Alice Paul led the silent demonstration with purple and gold banners to protest delayed ratification of the federal suffrage amendment. More than fifty women stood through the first session as new recruits joined from headquarters. The group pledged further action if enfranchisement is not achieved in time for upcoming elections, naming Connecticut and Vermont as key states to pressure.
