"Votes For Women"
International Hymn of the Suffragettes

Words by J. Marion.
Music by W.H. Charlton.

For we women have come at last, Tyrannical
Of the world we are the mothers, Why then
Truly 'tis a bestial life, E'en worse perhaps
To the cause our lives are plighted, So we must strive
In violence we will have no part, Such tactics

   This is universally conceded to be
THE RAGTIME MARCH SONG HIT OF THE YEAR.
   It is being used by every singer
of repute throughout the land and has
met with approval wherever heard.
   Its popularity is constantly increasing
and you should have a copy on your piano
with which to enliven your company and
entertain your friends before it has become
a "back number.
    It brings joy to the musical and it has
no equal as a dance number. Those who
have a fondness for up-to-date, rousing
march tunes will find particular pleasure
in this number. It is exceptionally suited
to minstrel shows or any home-talent
shows with music. It has an irresistible air
and an easily-memorized lyric besides being
particularly well and appropriately
arranged with subtle trombone-like
counter melodies in the bass.
   The title page also, as you will notice,
is particularly attractive and appropriate.
The composition, from beginning to
end, will furnish you with more enjoyment,
amusement and entertainment
than any other three songs of a similar
nature combined.
