it was the United States which first established general suffrage for men upon the two principles that 'taxation without representation is tyranny' and that governments to be just should 'derive their consent from the governed.' The unanswerable logic of these two principles is responsible for the extension of suffrage to men and women the world over. In the United States, however, women are still taxed without 'representation' and still live under a government to which they have given no 'consent.

Everybody counts in applying democracy. And there will never be a true democracy until every responsible and law-abiding adult in it, without regard to race, sex, color or creed has his or her own inalienable and unpurchasable voice in government.

There are whole precincts of voters in this country whose united intelligence does not equal that of one representative American woman.

Do not stand in the way of the next step in human progress. No one living who reads the signs of the times but realizes that woman suffrage must come. We are working for the ballot as a matter of justice and as a step for human betterment.

White supremacy will be strengthened, not weakened, by women's suffrage.

The vote has been costly. Prize it...understand what it means and what it can do for your country.

Roll up your sleeves, set your mind to making history, and wage such a fight for liberty that the whole world will respect our sex.
