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.

Resolution created by the New York Woman Suffrage Party in support of the government and war effort, and against the National Woman's Party picketing of the White House.
In 1917, the National Woman's Party, founded by Alice Paul, targeted the President and Congress by staging protests at the gates of the White House every day to garner nationwide attention on the suffrage movement and fight for a federal suffrage amendment. The nonviolent protests ultimately led to attacks, arrest, imprisonment and force-feeding of the women. The National American Woman Suffrage Association and its affiliates were vocal in condemning the pickets and demonstrating ongoing support of the government and President Wilson.

The Suffragist was the official newspaper of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, later the National Woman's Party, from 1913 until 1921.Created to generate financial and public support for the federal suffrage amendment, the newspaper reported on the status of the suffrage amendment and state legislative activities.
It featured weekly political cartoons, many by artist Nina Allender, as well as regular features to highlight suffrage activities throughout the country, major events, and leaders. In 1917, when the NWP began picketing the White House, were arrested and put in jail, the newspaper served as a valuable tool to publicize the treatment of political prisoners.
