To the General Assembly of the State of Missouri:
Gentlemen:
The undersigned men and women of Missouri, believing that all citizens who are taxed for the support of the Government and subject to its laws, should have a voice in the making of those laws, and the selection of their rulers; that, as the possession of the ballot ennobles and elevates the character of man, so, in like manner, it would ennoble and elevate that of woman, by giving her a direct and personal interest in the affairs of Government; and, further, believing that the spirit of the age, as well as every consideration of justice and equity, require that the ballot should be extended to woman, do unite in praying that an amendment to the Constitution may be proposed, striking out the word “male,” and extending to women the right of suffrage.
And, as in duty bound, your petitioners will ever pray.
Copies of Petition, and Information furnished upon addressing either of above named officers.
Formation of Auxiliary Associations in every county requested. Petitions when completely signed to be returned to the head office.
