The teachers' organization in Lowell, Massachusetts, sent these resolutions favoring the passage of the Federal Suffrage Amendment (the 19th Amendment), that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge presented in the Senate.
The letter calls on the Senate to pass the amendment so "that America may have the added strength of democracy at home even as she fought for democracy abroad." It states that "America has been fighting for the right of self-government for the people of Europe while one-half the people of America are denied that right."
