American people, and especially OF
the old soldiers. The prevalence OF
equal suffrage sentiment in Grand
Army circles may be due in part to
the touching appeal to the soldiers
that Clara Barton sent out after the
Civil War. She wrote when you
we're weak and | was strong, toiled
for you. Now you are strong and
am weak. Because of my work for
you. / ask your aid ! ask the ballot
for myself and my sex. AS stood by
you, l pray you stand by me and
mine" g8ss&

the gold medal offered by Frederick

lean Academy of Arts and Sciences.
