Women's
Suffrage Delmonico's Restaurant Menu Republican Club NY 1904
.
Both the Woman's Municipal League and the women's Republican clubs avoided the issue of suffrage, which was widely debated in the 1890s.
Mrs. James G. Wentz, who later became active in the Woman Suffrage Party, estimated that five percent of the members of the early Republican women's clubs actively opposed woman suffrage.
Republican women's clubs continued but their activities were less frequently reported in the press. Mrs. Wentz, who had campaigned for Harrison in 1892 but spoken out for Low in 1897 when the West End Auxiliary supported Tracy, formed her own Woman's Republican Club in 1900 to appeal specifically to society women (NY Tribune, Nov. 9, 1900) and remained its President until 1931.
The club dissolved in 1940. Although she actively supported woman suffrage in the New York referenda of 1915 and 1917 her other causes were quite conservative.
The item measures approximately 3.5" X 5", approximate shipping weight 3 ounces.
