From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, October 22, 1916: The east steps of the State Capitol was the stage yesterday for the Seventh District Woman’s Franchise League’s celebration of Federal Amendment Day. The program included young women clad in Grecian robes representing the states. Those clad in white robes with gold stars emblazoned on their foreheads represented states that have granted full suffrage; states that have granted only partial suffrage were represented by young women wearing black gowns and flowing white veils, while those states “still in the dark” on suffrage were represented by young women wearing black robes and black crepe veils. Robed women representing a group of classic figures — America, Liberty, Justice, and Mother and Child — completed the tableau. Although the audience was small, its enthusiasm made up for what it lacked in numbers.
