First Edition of the leaflet, page size: 6-1/4 x 7 inches, single sheet of newsprint folded in half, 4pp; self-wrapper; some rumpling and creasing but generally very good. "The following sweeping endorsement was passed at the Convention held in Oakland, California, November, 1915 .... " The Grange advocates unqualified backing of suffrage, supporting any universal suffrage movement by amendment of the Federal Constitution, and charges its Legislative Committee with taking charge of the campaign work. Includes opinions and testimonies from leaders of granges in 10 states. With testimonials from the Grange State Masters in Wyoming, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Maine, South Dakota, and Nebraska, this pamphlet published by the NAWSA was part of the campaign of 1915. The National Grange, as well as numerous state granges, voted every year to support woman suffrage. The NA WSA gratefully noted in their annual meetings the support of the Grange, starting in 1907. The second president of NA WSA, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, was herself a member of the Grange. This item, not in Krichmar. Harper, THE HISTORY OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE, Vol. V, pp. 206, 247, 392.
