Ballot Measure

Famous quotes containing the words ballot and/or measure:

“We are told it will be of no use for us to ask this measure of justice—that the ballot be given to the women of our new possessions upon the same terms as to the men—because we shall not get it. It is not our business whether we are going to get it; our business is to make the demand.... Ask for the whole loaf and take what you can get.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

“If the pulse of his people shall beat calmly under this experiment, another and another will be tried till the measure of despotism be filled up.”
