Suffragists Plan Nonpartisan Campaign Across State
Pennsylvania suffragists plan statewide nonpartisan campaigning for May primaries. After last year’s 385 348 vote total, leaders prepare candidate attitude records, send instructions to suffrage groups, and build a $40 000 fund to back endorsements for pro equal suffrage candidates. The campaign stresses voters' right to know a candidate’s position on equal suffrage.
