Letter on suffrage reform by William Sharman Crawford
William Sharman Crawford writes to Joseph Sturge of the National Complete Suffrage Union, arguing that Parliament is ineffective under present rules and that the people must use constitutional means to force redress before supplies. He urges constituencies to press for grievances to be addressed via amendments on supply motions and petitions, and to mobilize public opinion to compel reform in the next session.
