As you very well know women do not have the right to vote in America in all states. As a presidential candidate in this up coming election, I would assume women’s rights will be a topic of discussion. Being a women myself I can tell you why women should have suffrage. To start off, women should be voting because it is right to have those who follow the laws to also have a say in making those laws. Second, allowing suffrage for women will increase the number of educated voters due to the fact that most high schools graduate two to three times as many girls as they do boys. Third, it would increase the number of native born voters. Between the years of 1900 and 1903 more than one million male immigrants landed in America, and just over 500,000 female immigrants. Fourth, it will allow for equal pay among women. In nearly every state a female teacher will make one third less than that of a male teacher. Finally, to top it all off, women have been voting in mass numbers in other world powers, and in some states in America, which has turned out well for all of these places. Through women suffrage, America could become a better place where not just men influence society but also women. I hope you see the women’s point of view on this situation, and how women suffrage could be good for the society, and if elected president you will help the female race gain their suffrage in America. = = = =Sincerely, = =Miss Jawanna Man <span style="color: rgb(226,251,4); font-family: Georgia,serif; background-color: rgb(16,14,14);"> = = = =<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> = =<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> = =<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> <span style="color: rgb(226,251,4); font-family: Georgia,serif; background-color: rgb(16,14,14);">Political Cartoons <span style="font-size: 50%; color: rgb(226,251,4); font-family: Georgia,serif; background-color: rgb(253,221,221);"> = =<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(5,0,0); line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; background-color: rgb(247,247,247);">In the 1912 election, many political cartoons were born to aid the campaigns of the presidential candidates.

He was born on December twenty-eighth, eighteen fifty-six to Janet Woodrow Wilson and Dr. Joseph Ruggles Wilson. He was taught at home in his early years but later he attended Princeton College. He graduated with the class of eighteen seventy-nine with hopes of being a political theorist and future statesman. He worked his way to governor of New Jersey. With his successes as governor he was the primary choice for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1912. He called his platform the “New Freedom.” Through “New Freedom” he passed the Underwood Tariff Act. Also the sixteenth amendment was passed which imposed income taxes. The Federal Trade Commission Act put a rough stop to illegal business practices. It was more of Roosevelt’s idea that Wilson adapted. The last of the major legislation he passed while in office was the Federal Reserve Act. These provided the nation with an elastic money supply that was more effective. Woodrow Wilson was re-elected with the phrase “he kept us out of war,” even though he entered us in the Great War soon after being elected again. He went against his doctor’s wishes and campaigned for support of the Treaty of Versailles. He nearly died of a stroke but was cared for by his loving wife, Edith Bolling Galt until his tragic death last week, February third, nineteen twenty-four. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> =**<span style="color: rgb(224,244,26); font-family: Georgia,serif; background-color: rgb(11,11,10);">Election Of 1912: Results **=
