She came to me one morning and told me about the obscene shows licensed in that city, and said that she thought of memorializing the Legislature. I said, \"Do; you can not do anything else; you are helpless, but you can petition. Of course they will laugh at you.\" Notwithstanding, I drew up a petition and she circulated it. Twelve hundred of the best citizens signed that petition, and the lady carried it to the Legislature, just as Mrs. Wallace took her petition in the Indiana Legislature. They read it, laughed at it, and laid it on the table; and at the close of the session, by a unanimous vote, they retired in a solid body to witness the obscene show themselves. After witnessing it, they not only allowed the license to continue for that year, but they have licensed it every year from that day to this, against all the protests of the petitioners. [Laughter.]"},{"id":"content1:761","kind":"paragraph","text":"SENATOR EDMUNDS. Do not think we are wanting in respect to you and the ladies here because you say something that makes us laugh."},{"id":"content1:762","kind":"paragraph","text":"MISS ANTHONY. You are not laughing at me; you are treating me respectfully, because you are hearing my argument; you are not asleep, not one of you, and I am delighted."},{"id":"content1:763","kind":"paragraph","text":"Now, I am going to tell you one other fact. Seven thousand of the best citizens of Illinois petitioned the Legislature of 1877 to give them the poor privilege of voting on the license question. A gentleman presented their petition; the ladies were in the lobbies around the room. A gentleman made a motion that the president of the State association of the Christian Temperance Union be allowed to address the Legislature regarding the petition of the memorialists, when a gentleman sprang to his feet, and said it was well enough for the honorable gentleman to present the petition, and have it received and laid on the table, but \"for a gentleman to rise in his seat and propose that the valuable time of the honorable gentlemen of the Illinois Legislature should be consumed in discussing the nonsense of those women is going a little too far. I move that the sergeant-at-arms be ordered to clear the hall of the house of representatives of the mob;\" referring to those Christian women. Now, they had had the lobbyists of the whisky ring in that Legislature for years and years, not only around it at respectful distances, but inside the bar, and nobody ever made a motion to clear the halls of the whisky mob there. It only takes Christian women to make a mob."},{"id":"content1:764","kind":"paragraph","text":"MRS. SAXON. We were treated extremely respectfully in Louisiana. It showed plainly the temper of the convention when the present governor admitted that woman suffrage was a fact bound to come.

I want to read a few words that come from good authority, for black men at least. I find here a little extract that I copied years ago from the Anti-Slavery Standard of 1870. As you know, Wendell Phillips was the editor of that paper at that time:"},{"id":"content1:766","kind":"paragraph","text":"\"A man with the ballot in his hand is the master of the situation.

Corruption may steal from a man his independence; capital may starve, and intrigue fetter him, at times; but against all these, his vote, intelligently and honestly cast, is, in the long run, his full protection. If, in the struggle, his fort surrenders, it is only because it is betrayed from within. No power ever permanently wronged a voting class without its own consent.\""},{"id":"content1:769","kind":"paragraph","text":"Senators, I want to ask of you that you will, by the law and parliamentary rules of your committee, allow us to agitate this question by publishing this report and the report which you shall make upon our petitions, as I hope you will make a report. If your committee is so pressed with business that it can not possibly consider and report upon this question, I wish some of you would make a motion on the floor of the Senate that a special committee be appointed to take the whole question of the enfranchisement of women into consideration, and that that committee shall have nothing else to do. This off-year of politics, when there is nothing to do but to try how not to do it (politically, I mean, I am not speaking personally), is the best time you can have to consider the question of woman suffrage, and I ask you to use your influence with the Senate to have it specially attended to this year. Do not make us come here thirty years longer. It is twelve years since the first time I came before a Senate committee. I said then to Charles Sumner, if I could make the honorable Senator from Massachusetts believe that I feel the degradation and the humiliation of disfranchisement precisely as he would if his fellows had adjudged him incompetent from any cause whatever from having his opinion counted at the ballot-box we should have our right to vote in the twinkling of an eye."},{"id":"content1:770","kind":"paragraph","text":"REMARKS BY MRS. SARA A. SPENCER, OF WASHINGTON."},{"id":"content1:771","kind":"paragraph","text":"Mrs. SPENCER. Congress printed 10,000 copies of its proceedings concerning the memorial services of a dead man, Professor Henry. It cost me three months of hard work to have 3,000 copies of our arguments last year before the Committee on Privileges and Elections printed for 10,000,000 living women. I ask that the committee will have printed 10,000 copies of this report."},{"id":"content1:772","kind":"paragraph","text":"The CHAIRMAN. The committee have no power to order the printing. That can only be done by the order of the Senate. A resolution can be offered to that effect in the Senate. I have only to say, ladies, that you will admit that we have listened to you with great attention, and I can certainly say with very great interest. What you have said will be duly and earnestly considered by the committee."},{"id":"content1:773","kind":"paragraph","text":"Mrs. WALLACE. I wish to make just one remark in reference to what Senator Thurman said as to the popular vote being against woman suffrage. The popular vote is against it, but not the popular voice. Owing to the temperance agitation in the last six years the growth of the suffrage sentiment among the wives and mothers of this nation has largely increased."},{"id":"content1:774","kind":"paragraph","text":"Mrs. SPENCER. In behalf of the women of the United States, permit me to thank the Senate Judiciary Committee for their respectful, courteous, and close attention."},{"id":"content1:775","kind":"paragraph","text":"Mr. HOAR. Mr. President, I do not propose to make a speech at this late hour of the day; it would be cruel to the Senate; and I had not expected that this measure would be here this afternoon. I was absent on a public duty and came in just at the close of the speech of my honorable friend from Missouri [Mr. VEST]. I wish, however, to say one word in regard to what seemed to be the burden of his speech."}],"toc":[{"id":"content1:0:1","label":"WOMAN SUFFRAGE","page":1,"pageUrl":"/books/0X2wY14q#reader-content"}]},"similarBooks":[{"idCatalog":764871,"shortId":"4AoSVkFt","title":"The Continental Monthly, Vol 6, No 5, November 1864","authorLine":"Various","primaryAuthorId":"6bc78809-ff55-11e6-9c73-0cc47a1952f2","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/bf7d4c69-871a-11e8-bef6-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/4AoSVkFt"},{"idCatalog":764885,"shortId":"1Ks5WUfj","title":"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 6, No 2, August, 1864","authorLine":"Various","primaryAuthorId":"6bc78809-ff55-11e6-9c73-0cc47a1952f2","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/bfe749ad-871a-11e8-bef6-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/1Ks5WUfj"},{"idCatalog":764890,"shortId":"2xj12L8O","title":"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 6, No. 6, December 1864","authorLine":"Various","primaryAuthorId":"6bc78809-ff55-11e6-9c73-0cc47a1952f2","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/bff89586-871a-11e8-bef6-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/2xj12L8O"},{"idCatalog":761614,"shortId":"4SnaPpfM","title":"Women and Politics","authorLine":"Charles Kingsley","primaryAuthorId":"2b90d712-ea99-11e0-9959-47117d41cf4b","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/2e8c1e8a-993d-11e8-a002-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/4SnaPpfM"},{"idCatalog":764531,"shortId":"2ND3BcAz","title":"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 5, No. 3, March, 1864","authorLine":"Various","primaryAuthorId":"6bc78809-ff55-11e6-9c73-0cc47a1952f2","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/b5ed4c1b-871a-11e8-bef6-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/2ND3BcAz"},{"idCatalog":764874,"shortId":"2RPdwzOy","title":"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 1, No. 4, April, 1862","authorLine":"Various","primaryAuthorId":"6bc78809-ff55-11e6-9c73-0cc47a1952f2","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/bf984746-871a-11e8-bef6-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/2RPdwzOy"},{"idCatalog":764879,"shortId":"2g7RuKS1","title":"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 2, No. 1, July, 1862","authorLine":"Various","primaryAuthorId":"6bc78809-ff55-11e6-9c73-0cc47a1952f2","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/bfb3fb09-871a-11e8-bef6-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/2g7RuKS1"},{"idCatalog":764889,"shortId":"3W7PUUtP","title":"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 6, No 4, August, 1864","authorLine":"Various","primaryAuthorId":"6bc78809-ff55-11e6-9c73-0cc47a1952f2","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/bff2ce6f-871a-11e8-bef6-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/3W7PUUtP"},{"idCatalog":763959,"shortId":"06KQnQZ3","title":"The Most Bitter Foe of Nations, and the Way to Its Permanent Overthrow","authorLine":"Andrew Dickson White","primaryAuthorId":"228aa2a9-ea99-11e0-9959-47117d41cf4b","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/956eaf54-6a3e-11e8-96ac-0cc47a1952f2/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/06KQnQZ3"},{"idCatalog":764867,"shortId":"1v1dGGIb","title":"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 4, No. 1, July, 1863","authorLine":"Various","primaryAuthorId":"6bc78809-ff55-11e6-9c73-0cc47a1952f2","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/bf6e9c27-871a-11e8-bef6-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/1v1dGGIb"},{"idCatalog":764876,"shortId":"4YbzFT0k","title":"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 2 No 4, October, 1862","authorLine":"Various","primaryAuthorId":"6bc78809-ff55-11e6-9c73-0cc47a1952f2","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/bfa8480d-871a-11e8-bef6-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/4YbzFT0k"},{"idCatalog":764884,"shortId":"4IyvXHfW","title":"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 5, No. 1, January, 1864","authorLine":"Various","primaryAuthorId":"6bc78809-ff55-11e6-9c73-0cc47a1952f2","coverUrl":"https://storage.yandexcloud.net/bookra-catalog-pd-public/content/bfd034c4-871a-11e8-bef6-0cc47a5f3f85/thumbs/400.webp","publicUrl":"https://bookra.app/books/4IyvXHfW"}],"similarBooksPagination":{"page":1,"pageSize":12,"totalItems":24,"totalPages":2,"hasPrev":false,"hasNext":true}},"notFound":false}
