Folding card, making four pages. 12mo. Page 1, commences with the pledge ("Realizing that 'votes for women' is the most urgent and vital reform of today and must take precedence of any further social legislation because . . . ", reasons given followed by an undertaking to put Woman's Suffrage first in voting and spaces for a signature and address. Page 2, postal address on what would form a postcard. Page 3 headed "What to do at once", including writing to candidates, leaders of the parties for which the pledger voted for before (Asquith, Macdonald and Bonar Law), Page 4 continuing with encouragement to attend political meetings, arrange deputations, write to local papers, and standing up for the movement in conversation, also by attending meetings and encouraging others to sign this pledge. Note: Macdonald became Labour leader, and Bonar Law Conservative, in 1911. Asquith ceased to be PM in 1916. But there is no mention of the War. Presumably this was published 1911-1914.
