The right to vote : Miss Cunningham says she will have the right to vote, 1895 Oct.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/33598304

Newspaper clipping reporting address given in the assembly hall of the Women's Building at the Atlanta world's fair by Floride Cunningham, re attempts to secure suffrage for women in the South; discussing Gov. Benjamin R. Tillman, and lamenting results of South Carolina's constitutional convention, where she found the suffrage campaign thwarted by "machine politicians who would prostitue humanity for their own selfish ends. Their injustice to the negro is as pronounced as it is to woman"; in addition, Cunningham notes that the granting of the vote to women would provide South Carolina with "a white majority of twenty thousand." Clipping also lists program of other events slated for the assembly hall of the women's building on 29 Oct. 1895, and an article reported by Maude Andrews, re women artists represented in the Pennsylvania room of the building.
