At a Women’s Suffrage Association meeting in Philadelphia, Lucy Stone was elected President, and Julia Ward Howe, Chairman of the Executive Committee. Both women made stirring speeches before the Convention. The front page report says, “….resolutions were adopted affirming that woman’s enfranchisement means greater purity, constancy and permanence in marriage, and that discussions of temperance, peace and other reforms, is educating women to their duty as voters, and men to the need of the help of women.”

Four pages, excellent condition, cut cleanly at spine for microfilming at the Library of Congress many years ago. Great illustrated advertisements including dentists, a famous “MEDICAL INFIRMARY,” Railroad Schedules, and much more. The Department of State copy.
