[Portland, Oregon Oregon Equal Suffrage Association, 1906.] Dated May 21, 1906 on last page. Women's suffrage appeared on the ballot in Oregon six times (in 1884, 1900, 1906, 1908, 1910, and 1912), which was more than any other state. . Single sheet, folded. . 3 x 6. Printed in red and black. A fine copy. "The Oregon Equal Suffrage Association intended to appeal for your vote simply because it is right and just that women should vote. However, in a recent Protest the corporate interests, acting with a few multi-millionaire women, have arrayed themselves against the Equal Suffrage Amendment. This is a direct blow to the wage-earners of Oregon…This Protest was designed to frighten the average voter upon the ground that equal suffrage would hurt the business interests of Oregon, limit railroad-building, and scare timid investors."
