  • Letter from Senator Charles W. Bell to Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan with enclosed argument for Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8

    Charles W. Bell’s argument for Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 was the official argument in favor of the women's suffrage amendment that appeared in California's voter information pamphlet before the October 10, 1911 special election. Its purpose was to persuade California's male voters to approve Proposition 4, which would amend the California Constitution to grant women the right to vote. Senator Charles W. Bell was an ardent supporter of women’s suffrage who had spent years campaigning for the cause. In the 15-page argument, Bell explains that women deserve the right to vote because they are educated, civic-minded citizens whose participation will strengthen government. He urges voters to approve the amendment, asserting that equal suffrage would make California's democracy more representative and effective.

  • Original bill file for Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8

    Absent of terms such as “women” or “sex”, the language for Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 appears intentionally neutral, labeled as “A Resolution to Propose to the People of the State of California an Amendment to Section One of Article Two of the Constitution in Relation to the Rights of Suffrage.” However, feelings about the amendment were decidedly strong. The arguments for and against Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 were closely watched by suffrage organizations, with crowds of onlookers filling the gallery and the lobby of the Capitol. Authored by Republican State Senator Charles W. Bell from Pasadena, Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 was passed by the Senate on February 2, 1911, receiving 66 ayes and 12 noes. Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 would be introduced to the public as Proposition 4 on the ballot for the special election scheduled for October 10, 1911, along with a variety of other reform amendments passed by the Senate.
