An anti-Women's suffrage speech asking readers to vote "No" on California's Equal Suffrage Amendment. It was narrowly approved after an earlier 1896 attempt had failed. Emphasizes the importance of keeping the "woman's sphere" separate, the need to keep domestic life "pure", and refers to the Suffragette as a "mannish woman who kisses lap dogs instead of babies". Uses the offensive racial stereotype of the Hottentot to paint a derisive image of the "New Man and the New Woman". Ends by predicting that "The women will wear bloomers and run the government--and then the world will come to an end." Bifolium (8" by 5"). J.B. Sanford was Chairman of the California Democratic Caucus in 1911, and fought hard to keep women from the polls. Tape repair. Toned. "laminated" for preservation.
