Description
This document calls for the prohibition of alcohol and granting the right to vote to women. The author argues that if women can vote, they will help elect a party to power that would pass legislation supporting temperance. Aligning temperance and women's suffrage was heavily promoted by the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
