The Constitution July 28, 1913
The first suffrage debate in a state-wide campaign for the enfranchisement of 
Georgia women will take place in Gainesville tonight on the Brenau College 
campu.  A delegation from the Georgia Woman's Suffrage association will leave 
for Gainesville this afternoon, and a local Equal Suffrage league will be 
organized after the rally.

Both sides of the suffrage question will be presented, and two prominent 
Gainesville attorneys, Hammond Johnsona nd Ed A. Dunlap, will oppose the 
enfranchisement of women, while equal suffrage will be championed by Dr. M. C. 
Hardin, the well known osteopath, and Leonard J. Grossman, legal advisor of the 
Georgia Woman's Suffrage Association.

Sunday's rain may prevent the automobile trip of the suffragists, becasue of 
the condition of the roads, but Mrs. Mary L. McLendon, president of the Georgia 
Woman's Suffrage association, will make every effort to join the local 
delegation, which will include Mrs. A. B. Crossman and Mrs. M. C. Hardin.  
Following the debate Miss Ella May Powell will deliver an address on the 
pyschological effect of woman's suffrage.  The meeting will be held under the 
auspices of the Longstreet chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
