Description
In 1907, Charles Evans Hughes, Governor of New York, vetoed a bill to provide equal pay to men and women holding the same position. This card comments on Hughes' veto of the equal pay bill and a teacher's retirement pension bill for the public schools of Schenectady, New York. This card was most likely published as a part of the campaign against his reelection in 1908.
