Flier published by the Empire State Campaign Committee in advance of the 1915 election in New York contains statistics and arguments about women's suffrage, including the number of women who want the right to vote, the number of women already able to vote in western states, the political officials in favor of women's suffrage, and the types of women who want to vote (teachers, wage-earning women, housekeepers, etc.).
The Empire State Campaign Committee was a coalition of organizations, including the Women's Suffrage Party, the Women's Suffrage Association, the Women's Political Union and other similar organizations, headed by Carrie Chapman Catt. It was created to bring New York women together in support of the state woman suffrage amendment. The referendum was defeated in 1915 but passed two years later in November 1917.

Campaign flier against reelecting President Woodrow Wilson, issued by the National Woman's Party.
In 1916, the National Woman's Party chose to oppose all Democratic congressional candidates on the policy of "holding the party in power responsible" for failure to pass a federal suffrage amendment. President Wilson, who was seeking reelection, advocated for suffrage in New Jersey as a state action. The NWP responded vocally by sending organizers into 12 states to lobby against the Democratic Party candidates. Wilson was reelected in the 1916 elections.
