Description: DO YOU KNOW: Extracts from "Watch Your Vote," a New York Suffrage Publication Author: [Women's Suffrage] Title: DO YOU KNOW: Extracts from "Watch Your Vote," a New York Suffrage Publication Publication: circa 1918 Description: An anti-suffrage broadside critical of foreign-born women.The "Susan B. Anthony Amendment" granting women the right to vote was adopted as the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in August 1920. This anti-suffrage broadside warns that granting women the right to vote would provide all foreign-born women the opportunity to gain citizenship and vote through marriage: "A foreign-born man must meet five tests ... his wife becomes a citizen automatically without meeting any of these requirements."According to the broadside, the New York state suffrage amendment adopted in 1917 required that foreign-born women live in the U.S. at least five years before being given the vote. Concerns are raised about loyalty, literacy, and language. "Many of these immigrant women voters are so ignorant of America that they fail utterly to understand the real American purpose in this war - or why America should be at war at all."No information could be found about the "Watch Your Vote" suffrage publication.Single sheet (5 1/2" x 9"), printed on the recto only. The text is printed in one column beneath the caption title. Some light offsetting, faint creasing from former folds, and a paperclip mark to the verso; otherwise very good. OCLC locates no holdings.
