Jane Addams to Rachel Hole Rice, April 28, 1908

April 28th, 1908

My dear Mrs. Rice:-- 

The attempt to secure municipal suffrage for women received a tie vote in the charter convention, whereupon the chairman voted against it. The mattter was again brought up in the Legislature and lost by one vote. The whole charter, however, was afterwards rejected by the people so we may have another opportunity.

Sincerely yours,

Jane Addams [signed]
