Indiana Suffrage Push for Constitutional Convention Ties to Reform Efforts
Ross L. Lockridge of Indiana University argues at the third annual Woman's Franchise League convention in Indianapolis that a constitutional convention is the fastest route to women’s suffrage. He notes past amendments show success unlikely before 1919 and urges voter input alongside wider reforms such as initiative and referendum. The piece also covers the White Plague crusade lectures planned across multiple Indiana towns and the 26th annual Loyal Legion banquet in Indianapolis with Governor Ralston praising patriotism and progress.
