    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Texas A&amp;M Repository MORE THAN BLACK AND WHITE: WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND VOTING RIGHTS IN TEXAS, 1918-1923 A Dissertation by RACHEL MICHELLE GUNTER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSPHY Chair of Committee, Sara Alpern Committee Members, Terry Anderson Judith Baer Carlos Blanton Cynthia Bouton Head of Department, David Vaught August 2017 Major Subject: History Copyright 2017 Rachel Gunter ABSTRACT I explore the intersection of the woman suffrage movement and minority voting rights in Texas, a state that did not require voters to be citizens but disfranchised all servicemen for the length of their enlistment during World War I. I scrutinize congressional and legal records, newspapers, and correspondence to show how the Nineteenth Amendment, which removed sex as a legal barrier to voting, ultimately strengthened white political control in the state. My dissertation analyzes how Anglo, black, Mexican American and Mexican immigrant women, working separately or collectively, participated in and at times benefitted from the woman suffrage movement, which caused unforeseen relaxations of minority voting restrictions before the legislature acted to further restrict voting rights. I analyze how laws regulating elections affected women differently based on race and citizenship status. I maintain that politicians pass enfranchising legislation when it in some way benefits those already in power, and likewise they deploy fears of unethical or illegal voting when it benefits them as well. I argue that from WWI through the early 1920s, full citizenship was increasingly defined by the ability or right to vote.

It is only my networks of friends and family that allows me good things in life, and for them I am eternally grateful. My most immediate thanks go to Jeff Meikle, who not only agreed to supervise what was at first a truly nebulous project, but also did so with verve, positivity, and friendship, and brought a keen understanding of Austin and how this work fits into the field of American Studies. He is truly a great mentor. Thanks also to the rest of my committee. Steve Hoelscher taught me to teach and encouraged me to think about geographic production and writing style, which have proven invaluable.

When I first heard the news, I admit I had mixed emotions since my images of you have primarily been dependent on Lois' Sensitive Insights and your public presentation of self via NBC. My "wait arid see" attitude with respect to the Ford Administration was fast plunging into futility because of the Nixon pardon and suddenly I was confronted with conflicting images--the one I had conjured up with respect to President Ford and the one I had accepted with respect to you.

    THE MARCH of THE SAGES RESEARCH John Edward (Pat) Gwin-Sage Marg-nerite (Sage) Parker (Mrs. Sterling Parker) EDITOR Bonnie (Sage) Ball ASSOCIATE EDITOR Sybil Dawson Scofield SPONSOR Mrs. Lela Sage Dawson Copyright AppJied For By Bonnie S. Ball 1967 Printed in the U.S.A. by COMMONWEALTH PRESS, INC., RADFORD, VIRGINIA DEDICATION Not to the noble, the great, or the renowned, but to those salt-of-the-earth ancestors who have honored their heritage, and served God and their country WELL. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Many persons, past and present, have provided information that made this publication possible. We shall ever be grateful for the loyalty and interest of Mrs. Millie Reed Uhl who passed away on January 5, 1963. Our inspiration, and a good portion of our financial sup­ port came through Mrs. Lela Sage Dawson, of Excelsior Springs, Missouri, who now lives in California. Mrs. Dawson made four trips to Virginia in the interest of this project, and accompanied the editor to the National Archives at Washington, D. C., in 1955. One of our research authors, Mrs. Marguerite (Sage) Parker (Mrs. Sterling Parker), of Vancouver, Washington, has conducted a wide research on Sage and allied famiiJes through­ out the United States. Mr. Jo~n Edward (Pat) Gwin-Sage, the other, has been responsible for most of the genealogical research in England. He has also aided measurably by making photo-copies of docu­ ments, other records, and photographs. A few hundred persons in all areas of the country have provided data for this volume through completing family-group sheets, replying to letters, or volunteering information.
