One pamphlet entitled What President Wilson Says by the New York State Woman Suffrage Party, dated 1917. This is a promotional for New York's successful 1917 referendum on woman's suffrage. Its focus was on President Wilson's statements in support of suffrage, including text from a letter he wrote to Carrie Chapman Catt. Its back page reads, “Stand by Our President and make our own glorious country a Democracy--'for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own Government.'”
