Controversial Party Banner in Tucson, Ariz[ona], 1916
Summary
Title transcribed from item.
Summary: Photograph of street in Tucson with banner raised up across, "Women voters vote against Wilson-Ashurst-Hayden. Their party opposes national woman suffrage. National Woman's Party."
Also on verso: Tucson, Arizona. The offending banner - torn down - after hanging for 3 weeks - in meantime causing much excitement and many threats. Truth compels me to say that it was torn down by a weak Republican (a banker) who was afraid the Democratic deputies? would withdraw their funds from his bank.
Photograph published in The Suffragist, 4, no. 45 (Nov. 4, 1916): 6.
