Representative marched in line to
the capitol at Washington Yesterday
each woman carrying a. copy Of a
petition to the members of congress,
asking support for the equal suffrage
legislation.
The petitions were dropped by each
individual representative into large
hamper which stood inside the capitol
rotunda.
Among those who greeted the
women were Senators Brady, La
Toilette. Jones. Shafroth. Poindexter,
Townsend, Sutherland and Thomas.
Delaware was represented. in the
parade by Mrs. John A. Cranston
of Newport, president of the Equal
Suffrage Association, Of Delaware,
and Miss Caroline NJ. Cooper, who
carried the official message of the
Delaware Equal Suffrage Association
which was presented to Delawares
representatives, Senators DUPONT and
Salisbury and Congressman Franklin
Brockson.
Following is a copy Of the official
letter:
Wilmington, Del, April 5, 1913
Dear Sir:-On behalf of the
Delaware Equal Suffrage Assoc
citation. | am authorized to ask
you to give your most careful
consideration to the proposed
passage Of an amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States,
extending the suffrage to women
on the equal terms with men.
In accord with the Declaration
of Independence. we hold that
governments derive their just
- powers from the consent OF the
governed. Women are governed
They pay taxes and are amenable
to the laws.
Therefore, and in true accord
ance with the time honored prin-
ciples of Jeffersonian Democracy,
they are entitled TO a direct voice
in the government under which
they live.
, In order to make this. in fact,
as we'll as in name, "a govern
ment of the people, for the people
and by the people, will you not
most seriously and without pre-
JUDGE, consider this amendment
on its merits It's passage by Con-
gress would have great weight
with the Legislatures of the
States that have not as yet given
the suffrage to women.
Nine states and the territory OF
Alaska. as you are aware, have
already done so, and thus forever
wipe out this surviving stigma Of
the Middle Ages which classes
women politically with idiots,
criminals. insane people, paupers
and children.
Equally with the pilgrim Faith
ers, the pilgrim Mothers bore
their part in the founding Of our
country. and equally today, with
it's sons. do its daughters love and
cherish it. longing to feel them
selves fully and justly recognize
ed part of its body polite an
entity in the state.
We urge again, Your earnest
consideration OF the amendment
whose passage by Congress would
hclp so materially in removing
from our entire land the last bar
rier to its true democracy.
Respectfully submitted.
Mary r. deVou
Corresponding Secretary.
