From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, August 20, 1916: Fifty members of the Indianapolis branch of the Woman’s Franchise League left the city yesterday from Monument Place in decorated automobiles to open their campaign to interview every housewife in eight townships and forty towns and obtain signatures of registered voters and taxpayers in favor the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment. Speeches will be made in all the towns and villages and at various crossroads where thousands of sheets of suffrage literature will be distributed. All Indiana state legislative nominees have been asked to support the suffrage movement; any evasive position will be interpreted as unfriendly. The signatures obtained in the canvass will be sent to U. S. Representative Merrill Moores in Washington, DC urging him to work for the suffrage amendment and to give it immediate attention.
