SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The microfilm series Women's Suffrage in Wisconsin, Parts 1 and 2, provides a view into the struggles and
personalities of the woman suffrage movement. Wisconsin was the first state to ratify the federal women's
suffrage amendment. This series details the suffrage campaign in Wisconsin and the suffragists' other interests
such as social reform and the formation of the League of Women Voters.
Part 1: Records of the Wisconsin Woman Suffrage Association, 1892-1925
The Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage Association formed in 1882. Primary efforts were aimed toward school
and municipal suffrage. In 1883 Olympia Brown was elected president Membership declined under her
presidency and younger members joined the Political Equality League (PEL). Both organizations attempted to
generate positive publicity toward woman suffrage with street meetings, membership recruitments, fund
raising, education campaigns, and even activities at the county and state fairs. After the defeat of the Wisconsin
suffrage referendum in 1912, PEL and Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage Association merged under the name of
the Wisconsin Woman Suffrage Association (WWSA) in 1913, and Theodora W. Youmans was elected
president. The bulk of the material in Part 1 covers Theodora W. Youmans's presidency. Most of the material
is correspondence, but press releases, minutes, and reports are also included. WWSA scrapbooks and
newspapers clippings (Reels 17-18) provide more information about individual WWSA members, PEL, and
Woman's party activities.
Economic factors influenced the woman suffrage movement. Some WWSA members felt that wealthy
women had too much influence in WWSA activities. Wealthy women could afford to travel, so they were often
chosen as delegates to WWSA and National America Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) meetings and
conventions. Less affluent members felt the selection of delegates to conventions was often undemocratic.
Suffragists attempted to separate antisuffragists and working women. By highlighting the antisuffragists' motto
"A woman's place is in the home," suffragists attempted to illustrate the antisuffragists' lack of concern for
women who had to work outside the home. The suffragists attempted to reach many groups of people• farmers,
labor organizations, foreign immigrants, school children and personnel, and religious groups.
Politics was also a major influence in the woman suffrage movement. The WWSA followed NAWSA's
nonpartisan policy. Both WWSA and NAWSA bitterly disagreed with the Congressional Union's policy of
opposition to the Democratic party. WWSA members lobbied members of the Wisconsin legislature as well as
members of the U.S. Congress. Lobbying was an ongoing process. Politicians changed their minds while
elections changed the balance of support versus nonsupport in legislative bodies. Both state and national legislations conducted suffrage hearings. Committees on woman suffrage were formed in both the U.S. Senate and
the U.S. House of Representatives. Suffragists urged political parties to support woman suffrage as part of their
political platforms.
The suffragis ts ' major effort was to counter the opposition to woman suffrage generated by the liquor interests
and the liquor industry's influence on Wisconsin citizens and politics. Liquor interests believed woman voters
would support prohibition. Some suffragists supported prohibition while other suffragists stressed the
separation of the woman suffrage and the prohibition issues.
The British suffrage movement's militancy divided suffragists. Woman's party members picketed the White
House, an action criticized by Theodora W. Youmans and other WWSA members. Bitterness occurred when
some WWSA members left WWSA to join the Woman's party.
World War I provided another dilemma for the suffragists. Should suffrage work be replaced by war work?
Other suffragists opposed the war and continued their suffrage work. WWSA and NAWSA organized war
work and stated loyalty resolutions while continuing their suffrage campaign.
Part 1 illustrates WWSA's relations with NAWSA. Theodora W. Youmans approved of NAWSA policies
and was a strong supporter of Carrie Chapman Catt, a prominent national suffragist. She also had correspondence with Wisconsin suffragists Olympia Brown, Jessie J. Hooper, and Ada L. James. Correspondence was
also conducted with suffragists from other states, such as Grace Wilbur Trout and Clara Ueland.
Suffragists concerned themselves with other issues. They believed that the woman's vote would improve the
quality of life and government Benefits of woman suffrage in other U.S. states and countries received maximum
coverage in suffrage publicity. Child welfare, food purity, and labor issues were important to WWS A members.
Theodora W. Youmans had a special interest in the Americanization of foreign immigrants and citizenship
education. After the passage of the federal suffrage amendment in 1919, the suffragists formed the League of
Women Voters. In 1920 Theodora W. Youmans became chairman of the Woman's Division of the Republican
State Central Committee.
Part 2: The Papers of Ada Lois James, 1816-1952
Part 2 of the Wisconsin suffrage movement series concerns one person in the movement, Ada L. James. It
also covers her family and their influence in the woman suffrage movement and Wisconsin history.
Reel 1 encompasses the mid- to late 1800s and the early 1900s. Included are the business papers of Ada L.
James's grandfather George H. James. The bulk of the material comprises the correspondence of Ada L.
James's parents, Laura Briggs and David G. James. The correspondence illustrates life in 19th-century
America. David G. James comments on his Civil War service and his bitterness toward the south. The lives of
friends and relatives are detailed in the correspondence, as well, as their hopes and fears. World events are
discussed, including the Boer War and the Spanish-American War. Most of the correspondence covers the
courtship and early married life of Ada Briggs and David G. James. Shortly after the birth of their son Oscar
B. James, Ada Briggs James died in 1869. David G. James helped Ada's sister, Laura Briggs, in her professional
goal of telegraphy. They later married in 1873. Four children were bom; their first child, a son, died. Their first
daughter, Ada Lois James, was bom in 1876. Laura Briggs James had an interest in women's rights. She served
as president of the Woman's Club, one of Wisconsin's early suffrage organizations. One of her correspondents
was Susan B. Anthony. Her interests also involved spiritualism. She went to séances and spirit writings are
included in her correspondence. This interest grew after the death of her daughter, Beulah James DèLap.
Most of Part 2 (Reels 2-20) covers Ada L. James's correspondence. Reel 2 encompasses Ada L. James's
teenage years and early womanhood. Her correspondence with friends and relatives concern their thoughts ón
religion, social activities, marriage, and a woman's role in life. Ada L. James taught and painted. Many letters
cover the period of her engagement to Charles B. Cornwall, her worries over her parents' objections and his
attempts to calm her over the objections of her friends and relatives. The letters also cover Beulah James's
marriage and death in 1901 and the death of Laura Briggs James in 1905.
The years 1909-1919 (Reels 3-15) cover Ada L. James's suffrage career. Some letters concern her
European trip in 1908. David G. James's correspondence deals with various issues: Civil War monuments,
tuberculosis testing of farm animals, bills pending in the Wisconsin legislature, and requests for employment. Woman suffrage was also an interest. In 1911 David G. James became a state senator and introduced a
suffrage bill. The letters vividly portray the woman suffrage movement in Wisconsin. The suffragists' activities
and their relations with each other are the subjects of discussion. In 1911 Ada L. James became PEL president.
Material from the period of 1911-1912 covers the attempts to gain support for the Wisconsin suffrage
referendum in 1912. Auto tours and meetings with various groups (i.e., farmers, foreign immigrants, blacks)
served to publicize the woman suffrage movement Prominent speakers such as Jane Addams, Emmeline
Pankhurst, and Belle Case La Follette further aided the movement Newspaper coverage and suffrage literature
were important components in the suffrage campaign.
The letters illustrate the struggles in the suffrage movement. The suffragists faced the stiff exposition of the
liquor interests, which encompassed a wide group of people•politicians, Germans, farmers, and the liquor
industry itself. The liquor issue was a paradox in the woman suffrage movement. Liquor interests feared woman
voters would support prohibition. Other antisuffragists feared that suffragists were in league with the liquor
interests and that women's votes would signiiy a free-living lifestyle. Suffragists were divided on the issue. The
temperance movement aided the suffragists and expected help in return. Some suffragists favored prohibition
while others stressed the separation of the woman suffrage and prohibition issues. Other people opposed woman
suffrage for other reasons. To some, women's votes meant the end of the family. Suffragists charged that some
antisuffragists' activities were illegal, and PEL at one point hired a detective to watch their opponents.
VI
The struggles of the woman suffrage movement were also internal ones. During Olympia Brown's WWSA
presidency, relations with NAWSA were difficult. Olympia Brown did not have complete trust in NAWSA
president Anna Howard Shaw. The suffrage movement in Wisconsin was divided. WWSA charged that
NAWSA favored PEL. A proposed merger met opposition. The formation of a cooperative committee did not
solve the problem. There were rifts within the PEL and WWSA, most focusing on Mary Swain Wagner. Mary
Swain Wagner wanted to work in Wisconsin, but the Wisconsin suffragists were reluctant to accept her help.
Wagner' s supporters criticized WWSA, PEL, and NAWSA for their treatment of Wagner. David J. James and
Catharine Waugh McCulloch criticized Wagner, and at one point McCulloch hoped that the antisuffragists
would hire Wagner. Ada L. James was in the middle of these rifts. Many letters from Catharine Waugh
McCulloch, Theodora W. Youmans, and Anna Howard Shaw advise her how to contend with the situation.
The 1913-1919 period (Reels 13-15) covers the years following the defeat of the suffrage referendum in
Wisconsin and leading to the ratification of the federal suffrage amendment Auto tours, street meetings, and
speaking arrangements for prominent people as well as opposition continued, as did lobbying of the U.S.
Congress and the Wisconsin legislature. The period was also marked by clashes within the woman suffrage
movement. NAWSA and the Congressional Union were in strong disagreement with NAWSA's nonpartisan.
policy. The rift extended to Wisconsin. Should congressional lobbying be handled by WWSA or the
Congressional Union? The Woman's party and NAWSA with WWSA disagreed with each other's methods of
publicizing woman suffrage. The Woman's party favored the militant methods of English suffragists. They
picketed the White House and were arrested in suffrage demonstrations. The NAWSA and WWSA felt that such
methods resulted in opposition to woman suffrage. Disagreement about the legislative procedures leading to
the federal suffrage amendment also divided the suffragists. Ada L. James again was in the middle of the rifts.
She was a WWSA member, but also served on the Advisory Council of the Congressional Union. In 1917,
finding herself discontented with WWSA, she resigned. Her health and her father's opposition kept her from
Woman's party demonstrations. During this period she corresponded with Alice Paul, receiving letters that
detail the suffragists' treatment in jail and Alice Paul's hunger strike. Meanwhile World War I was dividing the
suffragists. The WWSA and NAWSA favored continuing suffrage work while establishing war work. The
Woman's party focused on suffrage work.
The passage of the federal suffrage amendment signified the end of the suffrage organizations. WWSA and
NAWSA dissolved and established the League of Women Voters. Their focus was citizenship. Ada L. James
then became involved in politics. She served on the Republican State Central Committee. She opposed the
candidacies of John J. Blaine (for governor) and Levi Bancroft (for judge).
During the suffrage campaign suffragists concerned themselves with other issues, such as employment, child
welfare, peace, and food laws. Reels 16-17, and part of Reel 18 comprise the period 1920-1952, when Ada L.
James concentrated her energies on social welfare. She was a member of Progressive organizations, the
Committee of 48, and the Wisconsin Progressive Association. She helped found the Children's Board and had
an interest in j uvenile delinquency. She advocated birth control, a belief strengthened by her study of mentally
deficient people in Wisconsin. She was concerned with alcoholism and mental illness. She cautioned against
militarism and was concerned about atomic bombs. During this period she continued correspondence with her
suffrage colleagues. She felt disappointed that women's votes did not have as great an influence as she had
envisioned. Her correspondents encompassed a wide range of individuals and interests, including Jane Addams,
Clarence Darrow, Albert Einstein, and Margaret Sanger. Her nephews' letters (Brindleys) show AdaL. James's
influence.
Reels 18-24 are an eclectic group of materials encompassing the 1800s and 1900s. Reels 18-20 cover
correspondence, articles, drafts of speeches, minutes, and scrapbooks. A wide variety of subjects are covered
(woman suffrage, the James family tree dating back to the 1600s, social welfare, events in the James family's
life), including Ada L. James's pamphlet "A Little Story of Human and Economic Interest." Four folders focus
on the Levi H. Bancroft court cases. Bancroft campaigned for re-election as judge. His opponent, Sherman
Smalley, had Ada L. James's support. Smalley won. Bancroft initiated lawsuits against persons involved in the
campaign, including Ada L. James, R. P. Hutton (Anti-Saloon League), P. L. Lincoln (a lawyer), and Sherman
Smalley. There were countersuits. AdaL. James felt extremely bitter about Levi Bancroft's charges of forgery
on her father's will.
Reels 20-24 cover the diaries of Ada L. James, Laura Briggs James, and Beulah James DeLap. Other
miscellaneous material, such as business ledgers, school notebooks, financial records, articles, and memo
books, are included. The diaries reveal the real persons. Laura Briggs James ' s diaries cover the Civil War period
to her married life. She had an interest in social issues as well as woman suffrage. Her later years showed an
increasing interest in spiritualism and her depression over health problems and her daughter's death. Beulah
James's diary concentrates on family life and her music. She also had an interest in spiritualism. There are
brief entries concerning labor issues and world events.
Ada L. James's diaries during the 1890s focus on her friendship with Charles B. Cornwall who, as she
described, was a friend "who can never come too often or stay too long." Her parents and friends objected. In
1895 she wrote, "I love CC very dearly and if only Ma and Pa were willing I would marry him anytime." Her
engagement was broken off. During the 1900s she wrote bitterly about her failed relationship: "Had I only had
character enough to have done as I thought right but it's all too late." She envied her friends' marriages and
children and felt bitter about the persons who opposed her engagement She threw her energies into her sister
Beulah's wedding plans. Beulah James DeLap's death one month after her marriage devastated Ada. Unable
to write in her diary after her sister's death she later wrote in 1902, "... life for the last year has been little besides
one long effort to endure..."
Ada L. James's diaries show her evolving interests in woman suffrage, pacifism, and social welfare. During
her European trip in 1908, she visited a foundling home in England. She commented on the hard life of German
women and described a military parade in Italy as "a relic of barbarism." In an 1898 entry she expressed concern
about the Spanish-American War. She commented on the hard life of American Indians in an 1894 entry.
Despite one comment•"I went to church to hear a sermon, not a woman suffrage lecture, I hate to hear that
dragged in on every point•Ada L. James admired Olympia Brown and had an interest in Laura Briggs James'
suffrage work. Her diaries of 1908-1911 and 1917-1919 focus on woman suffrage. She expressed impatience
with the suffrage movement: "It is now I realize for the 100th time how poorly organized we are." She criticized
the suffragists ' congressional work and their dependence on Carrie Chapman Catt. Despite their differences she
was on good terms with Theodora Youmans. She had increasing admiration for the Woman's party and wrote
in 1918, " They [members of the U.S. Senate] hate and fear the Woman's party so they send all their messages
to the National Association but they do what the Woman ' s party demand[s] for the most part" In 1919 she wrote
nostalgically about the woman suffrage movement and read her mother's letters for a suffrage history project.
She wrote, "Since the War [World War I] all our petty personal differences during the campaign seem so small."
She opposed World War I and commented that although she hated the militarism in Germany, she opposed
big business' domination in America. She opposed universal military training. She supported the Russian
Revolution and Aleksandr Kerensky, but said about bolshevism, 'They [politicians, capitalists] are the ones
who are responsible for Bolshevism." She decried the lack of freedom in the United States with the Socialist
trials and the troubles of the People's Council. She criticized Franklin D. Roosevelt and opposed World War
II. She criticized big business, especially the companies that sold supplies to Germany and Japan before World
Warll.
Early entries, in 1908-1911, and 1917, also feature child and social welfare. In one entry Ada L. James
stressed the importance of sex education and she advocated birth control. After 1920 there is a gap in the diaries.
In 1921 her father died. Ada L. James also found that she had cancer. In 1929 she wrote, ".. .that pall hung over
me several years following the operation..." The diaries do not cover her involvement in politics, but she wrote
cynically in 1929 about the "bunk in politics."
During the 1930s and 1940s Ada L. James focused her energies on social welfare. She helped establish
health clinics, had an interest in mental illness, and stressed the negative effects of alcohol consumption. Her
diaries are a record of her social welfare cases for the Children's Board. She was concerned about juvenile
delinquency as well as what she called "adult delinquency." Ada L. James died in 1952.
