Hand Held Fan : Women's Ballot for the King's Business. [1914]

Yellow cardboard fan with black print attached to a wooden dowel reads "Woman's Ballot for the King's Business / Under the Stars and Stripes Women Vote on the Same Terms as Men in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, California, Oregon, Kansas, Arizona, Illinois, and Alaska. Help Ohio win in 1914"

One side contains detailed arguments for woman suffrage in Ohio. The reverse side reads "The most patriotic service you can render your country this day is to resolve to help win Votes for Women" and contains quotes from well-known public figures in favor or woman suffrage.

The slogan, "Women's Ballot for the King's Business" was originally adopted by the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
