Description | The Suffrage Daily News, published in Helena, Montana from September to November 1914, played a pivotal role in the Montana suffrage movement, spearheaded by suffragist Jeannette Rankin and organizations like the Montana Equal Suffrage Association. With a four-page, five-column format, it featured passionate sermons advocating for women's rights and highlighted suffrage parades and political endorsements, including those for Jeannette's brother, Wellington Rankin, running for Congress. The newspaper's efforts, including direct appeals to organized labor and educators, contributed to the successful passage of a suffrage amendment in Montana on November 3, 1914, making it the twelfth state to grant women the right to vote.
