Did You Know Your Great Grandmother
Voted IN Mew Jersey? No? Then Read!|
Only American Colony Where
Sex Was Accorded Privilege
Century Ago.

nID you know that New Jersey
~ women used to vote? And that
the privilege was taken from
them only 100 years ago? And that
New Jersey was the only colony that
granted this privilege?
Your great-grandmother, IL she was
a Jersey woman, had the privilege of
helping or opposing the election of
Thomas Jefferson, and Jefferson made
a pretty good sort Of President, in
spite, or maybe because of the female
vote. The suffragists Of today would
do we'll to make their battle cry, "Our
great-grandmothers did, and why can't
WEI" There they would present an
argument that the hardest-headed OPP
poser of suffrage for women would find
difficult to answer satisfactorily.
Men have been in the habit of saying
that what was good enough for their
wives, parents and grandparents should
be all-suff1cient for them. What will
they say now when the heads CD of
their households announce that that is
one Of the reasons why they want to
vote-because their great-grandmothers
did.
In the days of Jefferson the Consti-
tuition In force in New Jersey was one
framed by the convention of 1776. and
was never submitted to the public for
ratification, but simply ordered (by the
convention) to be published July 3 OF
