Description
List issued by the New Jersey Woman Suffrage Association to demonstrate existing support for the woman suffrage amendment to be voted on in the upcoming election on October 19, 1915. The list included Thomas Edison, John Cotton Dana, several Congressmen, State Senators, local officials, judges, mayors, local newspaper and magazine editors, and heads of local businesses.
The referendum failed to pass at that time. New Jersey ratified the federal suffrage amendment on February 9, 1920.
