We recommend the extension of the franchise “to the women of the

Adopted at the Democratic Convention, St. Louis, July, .1916.

}.3,

Progressive Suffrage Plank

We believe the women of the country, who share with men the bur—
dens of government in time of peace and make equal sacrifice in time of
war, should be given the full political right of suffrage, both by Federal
and State action.

Adopted at the Progressive Convention, Chicago, June, 1916.

Prohibition Suffrage Plank

The right of citizens of the United States to vote should not be denied
or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. We
declare in favor of the enfranchisement of women by amendment to State
and Federal constitutions. We condemn the Republican and Democrati
Parties for their failure to submit an equal sufl’rage amendment to the
national constitution. We remind the four million women voters that our
party was the first to declare for their political rights, which it did in
1872. We invite their co-operation in electing the Prohibition Party to

power. Adopted at the Prohibition Convention, St. Paul, July, 1916.

Republican Suffrage Plank

The Republican Party, reaffirming its faith in government of the
people, by the people, for the people, favors the extension of the suffrage
to women as a measure of justice to one—half the adult people of this
country, but recognizes the right of each State to settle the question for

itself. Adopted at the Republican Convention, Chicago, June, 1916.

Socialist Suffrage Plank

Unrestricted and equal suffrage for men and women. The imme—
diate adoption of the so-called Susan B. Anthony Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States granting the suffrage to women on
equal terms with men.

Adopted at Socialist Convention and ratified by membership of Socialist
Party, 1916.

 Membership in the Red Cross DOES NOT IN—
VOLVE ANY FINANCIAL OBLIGATION, OTHER
THAN THE PAYMENT OF DUES, or any obliga-
tion of service. All active service is performed by
its directors, surgeons, nurses, and other trained
agents.

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS asks the co-
operation of every man, woman, and child in the
United States in its effort to increase its mem—
bership.

The work of the Red Cross should command
the interest and support of every citizen of the
country. It is not a private organization or a lim-
ited corporation. It is an organization “of the
people, by the people, and for the people.” Its
rolls at present contain the names of persons in
all walks of life, from the most humble citizen to
those of the highest financial, business, and social
standing. But the number is woefully small.

This statement is an invitation to the recipient
to make application for membership. If he is al—
ready enrolled, he should consider it a duty to
hand this folder to some one who is not a member.

Any citizen or resident of the United States or
of its dependencies may become a member of
the American Red Cross by the payment of the
dues of the class of membership into which he
desires election.

The four classes of membership are as follows:

Annual nlmnbcrship. . . . .. . . . . . . .31 per year
Sustaining nimnhcrship ......... $10 per year

Life membership. . . . .. . .325 in one payment
Patron xnmnbcrship.. . .$100 in one payment;

Each member is provided with a button or pin
and receives the Red Cross Magazine, a monthly
publication devoted to, and keeping its members
in touch with, the work of this society and of the
Red Cross throughout the world.

The application blank on page 4 should be sent
to a local Chapter or to The American Red Cross,

Washington, D. C. Checks or money orders
should be made payable to the American Red
Cross. Receipt for dues will be sent each member.
Membership is an expression of your patriotism
and humanity.

CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO BE A MEMBER?

A FEW FACTS

The American Red Cross (present organiza—
tion) was chartered by Congress in 1905.

Its President is the President of the United
States.

It is the one volunteer relief organization for war
and disaster recognized by the United States Gov-
ernment.

It has expended in ten years for the people of
the United States in humanitarian work over thir-
teen millions of dollars in money and supplies.

It is non—sectarian and non-political.

It is organized to furnish aid to sick and wounded
of armies in time of war, and to devise and carry
on measures of relief for those suffering from
pestilence, famine, fire, floods, and other great
calamities.

If this country should ever become engaged in
war the Red Cross would be the official channel
through which friends or relatives would be able
to locate and communicate with sick, wounded, or
imprisoned soldiers.

It expends its relief funds in accordance with
the designation of donors.

Its accounts are audited by the United States
War Department.

 Remarks on “The Ladies’ Battle”

By ALICE STONE BLACKWELL

Miss Molly Elliot Seawell has expanded into a small book her recent
article in the Atlantic ilfont/ily against woman suffrage. She asserts that,
if women gain the ballot, they must forfeit “enormous property privileges,”
and that all sorts of disasters will follow. ller statements are unqualifiedly
denied by the leading legal authorities of the enfranchised States.

Chief Justice Potter, of Wyoming, says: ,

“None of the consequences or complications mentioned by Miss Seawell
have arisen in \Vyoming, where women have had full suffrage since 1869.
Married women have not only not been deprived of any property rights
which they had before equal suffrage was adopted, but from time to time
statutes have been passed extending the property rights of married women.”
——le6 I/Vomcm’s Journal, January ’7’, 1911.

Judge Lindsey of the Denver Juvenile Court annotated a whole series
of Miss Seawell’s statements, writing against each the words, “Absolutely
false.” He added: '

“It is hard to understand how anyone with a grain of intelligence could
sign her name to such absurdities. The statements are false in every detail,
and our experience in Colorado proves that not one of them ever operated
in actual practice, as claimed.”—T/zc li/"Oi/lalzf's Journal, October 8, 1910.

Chief Justice Sullivan, of Idaho, says: .

“It seems Strange that a magazine with the standing of the Atlantic
jlrfonitlzly would give space to an article containing not only an utter miscon—
ception of the legal principles applicable to women who have the right of
suffrage, but so many erroneousstatements and misrepresentations of' the
historical facts of the real condition of woman suffrage where it is now in
actual operation. I am unable to understand why an author would risk
her reputation by making so many false statements. It seems to me that
nothing but ignorance, prejudice and a wilful intention to misrepresent
could have instigated such an article.

“The idea that every legal voter must be able to fight his way to the
polls, and after he has done so, possess the physical ability to enforce the
effect of his ballot, is a proposition that would not stand the test in any
civilized country. If this so—called basic principle were correct, it would
disfranchise at least one—fourth of the male voters in the United States.”

Of Miss Seawell’s assertion that ruffians would undoubtedly prevent
women by force from casting their ballots, Chief Justice Sullivan says:

“No such thing has ever occurer in any of the suffrage States. \Vhat
Would the good men at the polling place be doing while the ruffians were

'7

 

 belaboring their mothers and wives, sisters and sweethearts, and preventing
them from depositing their ballots? If anything like that had occurred, the
rowdy who attempted it would never attempt such an act again.

“Miss Seawell’s second so—called basic principle is that one voter cannot
Claim maintenance from another voter. \\'here in the common law or in any
statute law in any of the States of this Union can she find such a principle?
ln‘some States, inhabitants of almshouses are not permitted to vote; but that
is not a case in point. She says the moment a married woman claimed the
right to vote, she would be deprived of any claim to support from her hus—
-band There are no such laws in any of the four suffrage States mentioned,
and no such laws exist in any other State of this Union, nor is any such
principle found in the common law.

\Ve have made an actual test of woman suff‘age in this State for four—
teen years, and there has not been a ‘stupendous loss to women,’ nor any
loss whatever; but it has proven beneficial to the best interests of the State.
And there is no doubt that the results would be just as beneficial in the more
thickly populated States of the Union.

“Paraphrasing Miss Seawell, I believe that the most important factors
in the State are the wives and mothers who make of their sons and daughters
good citizens to govern and protect the State, and woman suffrage is one
of the greatest means to effect that end.”——-T/zc I/l"'0ma1vz,’5 Journal, November
12, 1910.

Miss Seawell worships the past and is blind to present—day problems.
Denouncing certain suffragists who said that they wanted a vote in order to
promote education and sanitation, Miss Seawell says:

“Neither sanitation nor popular education was known to the founders
of the Republic; yet these founders added more to the forces of civilization
than any group of sanitarians or educators that ever lived. Sanitation and
education are already well attended to by men, and as large a share of the
public income is devoted to them as the people will bear.”

It is impossible, within a limited space, to take up one-tenth part of the
flagrant errors of fact contained in this little volume. It is a book that may
well make s11flragists laugh and anti— suff1agists blush.

3. To secure the repeal of the “draft” clause in the Army
Reorganization Bill.

4. To secure, through the creation of a joint commission or

10. To secure the calling of the Third Hague Conference
at the earliest practicable moment.

11. To secure action under the “Hensley” clause of the
Naval Appropriations Act.

12. To secure such dealing with neighboring Republics that
our relationships with them shall be free from the evils of secret
diplomacy, and that in arriving at decisions affecting their well—
being, counsel be taken with the governments of other Ameri-
can States and with those groups in our own population most
sympathetic and most likely to be intelligent as to the interests
of the people of those Republics.

 RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED

'BY

THE WOMAN’S PEACE PARTY

December 9, 1916, at Washington, D. C.

at the Second Annual Meeting

V‘J'hereas,,There has been created a demand, which a few years ago
would have been inconceivable, for compulsory military serVice in the
United States; and

Whereas, Such conscription is radically opposed to all American
ideals of citizenship and is full of menace to social, industrial and
political liberties; therefore be it

Resolved: That the VVoman’s Peace Party pledges its uncompromis-
ing opposition to every form of conscription or compulsory military
service.

Whereas, The burden of testimony. of American experts on physical
education is opposed to military training in schools as not only wholly
inadequate, but actually detrimental to all—round development; and ’

Whereas, Such training is not required in even the most military
European nations; and

Whereas, We believe the social effect of shaping physical education
with reference to military service to be thoroughly harmful; therefore
be it

Resolved; That the VVoman’s Peace Party earnestly advocates radical
opposition to all military training of minors in or out of school, and
recommends that the effort to defeat reactionary proposals of this
nature take the shape of securing modern scientific physical education
and outdoor life, coupled with health examination and instruction, for
all boys and girls.

Resolved: That the VVoman’s Peace Party urges that action be taken
by our Government to convene the Third I'lague Conference at the
earliest practicable moment. That all voting delegates shall be civilians,
men and women, representing the varied interests of the country, and
that the delegates from the United States be instructed to advocate world
organization and a peaceful settlement of all international difficulties.

Resolved: That the VVoman’s Peace Party deplores the over—emphasis
on the army and navy in the ceremony of inaugurating the President
and recommends that in future this great national ceremony should
represent the varied interests of the country, social, civic, philanthropic,
educational, industrial, artistic, scientific and religious.

Resolved: That the VVoman’s Peace Party respectfully requests the
President of the United States to issue a public proclamation on New
Year’s Day to call the attention of the belligerent and neutral nations
to the fact that he has been empowered by Congress to initiate and
sponsor an international conference for the abolition of war and the
promotion of general disarmament.

Resolved: That the VVoman’s Peace Party urges its individual mem—
bers and its branches and affiliated organizations to co—operate with the
American Neutral Conference Committee in its endeavor to secure
active and intelligent public support of any effort that our government
may make toward a just and lasting peace, by using every possible
means to enlighten public opinion and by securing signatures to the
petition now being put forth by the American Neutral Conference
Committee.

Resolved: That the Woman's Peace Party endorses the platform
of the World Court League and urges its members to make the public
familiar with it.

Resolved: That the VVoman’s Peace Party welcomes the plan to estab—
lish a \Voman’s Auxiliary to the American Council of the World Alli—
ance for Promoting International Friendship through the Churches and
asks all members of the VVoman’s Peace Party who are members of
churches to co-operate so far as possible with such Auxiliary in promot—
ing the establishment of Peace-Makers Committees in the local
Churches.

Resolved: That the VVoman’s ‘Peace Party send a message of sym-
pathy to our Sisters in the warring countries, assuring them that we
suffer With them and echo their hope for the speedy end of the war.

Resolved: That the 'Woman’s Peace Party expresses most hearty
thanks to the very efficient local committee who have so greatly facili—
tated the deliberations of our conference by their arrangements for our
comfort and convenience.

This is a National Crisis. If
you are with us wire or write to
your Congressman to Go Slow
on “Preparedness.”

I,

Anti ”Preparedness
Committee

HEADQUARTERS: MUNSEY BUILDING
WASHINGTON, D. C.

We are a committee of American
citizens formed to protest against
the attempt to Stampede this nation
into a reckless program of military
and naval expansion.

No danger of invasion threatens
this country and there is no
excuse for hasty, ill-considered ac—
tion. We protest against the effort
being made to divert the public
mind from those preparations for
world peace based on international
agreement which it might be our
country's privilege to initiate at
the close of this War. And we
protest against the effort being
made to divert public funds, sorely
needed in constructive programs for
national health and well-being, into
the manufacture of engines of death.

We are against all the various
” preparedness " programs, because
they are extravagant, unneces-

sary, and contrary to all that is
best in our national traditions.

Believing that this statement
represents the thoughtful conclu—
sions of a large number of patriotic
Americans, we urge them to support
us in the following program:

Go Slow on Preparedness

Our immediate purpose is to
prevent any unusual expenditure
for armament during the present
session of Congress.

Stop the Waste on Preparedness

We demand public investigation
of our present huge war budget so
that every dollar now spent for the
Army and Navy may bring 100 per
cent of efficiency.

Who Wants Preparedness?

We stand for a Congressional
investigation as to the sources of
the insistent demand for a large
increase in Army and Navy appro—
priations.

Taking the Profit out of Prepar-
edness

We stand for taking all possibility
of private profit out of armament
manufacture.

Who is to Pay for Preparedness?

We hold that any increased
expense for armament should be
met by income and inheritance
taxes, and not by taxes which place
additional burdens on the poor.

A New Foreign Policy Instead
of Preparedness

We hold with the President
that the time has come to develop
the Monroe doctrine with its in-
herent dangers and difficulties, into
a real Pan—American union, and
therefore urge that a fifth Pan-
American conference be called early
in 1916, and that our delegates be
instructed to recommend a federa-
tion of the twenty—one American
republics in the interests of peace
and democracy.

The "Yellow Peril” and Pre-

paredness

Since the questions at issue be-
tween America and the Orient are
serious and complex, we urge, as a
rational approach to their solution,
the appointment of a joint Gov—
ernment commission, representing
Japan, China and the United States
