1910rif. 164301910. Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Michigan. An Expert's Opinion: The Suffrage Question as Viewed by the Competent Michigan Woman 1910 uses the public authority of Caroline Bartlett Crane to advocate equal suffrage during the decade preceding ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. Crane a Michigan minister civic reformer and suffragist known for her municipal reform work states the argument directly: "I believe in Equal Suffrage because men and women are co-partners in the great business of living." Issued by the Michigan WCTU the broadside documents the organization's use of prominent women reformers and short quotable endorsements to advance voting rights as part of its political program. An Expert's Opinion: The Suffrage Question as Viewed by the Competent Michigan Woman. Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Michigan. St. Louis: Michigan Woman's Christian Temperance Union Press Bureau 1910. Broadside. The text identifies Caroline Bartlett Crane as the authority behind its suffrage argument and centers her declaration that women's participation in civic life justified equal political participation. Crane's endorsement joined two closely connected strands of Progressive Era reform in Michigan: organized woman suffrage and the municipal reform work for which she became nationally known. The WCTU had formally endorsed woman suffrage in 1881 under Frances Willard's leadership after temperance organizers increasingly concluded that the ballot would give women political power to pursue prohibition and other social reforms. By 1910 the Michigan organization could draw upon Crane's reputation as a public speaker civic reformer and suffrage advocate to present voting rights as part of women's existing responsibility for public life rather than as a departure from it. Very good condition. A Michigan WCTU campaign broadside preserving Caroline Bartlett Crane's concise argument for political equality within the organizational campaign that linked temperance reform to women's enfranchisement. unknown

rif. 63989Detroit: Executive Board of the Michigan Federation of Labor 1916. Octavo. Cloth-backed pictorial boards; 150pp; illus. Covers slightly rubbed with some trivial paper loss at board edges; internally complete clean and unmarked; Very Good. Though the title suggests this was a serial publication we find no evidence that it was produced in any other year. Publication statement on the title page reads: "Issued by the Executive Board in compliance with instructions from the last state convention held at Traverse City." A pictorial and statistical review of industrial activities in the principal municipalities of Michigan focusing of course on Detroit and its burgeoning automotive industry but also including many smaller manufacturing towns such as Muskegon Owosso Ishpeming Ludington etc. Includes a list of local subscribers following each section making us think this was intended as much as a commercial directory as a labor annual. Well-illustrated throughout with photographic text illustrations halftones. Despite commercial production values and a healthy list of subscribers the publication is apparently rare; not previously seen by us and we find no catalogued examples in OCLC. unknown
