Florence Bayard Hilles, Anna Lowenburg, Elizabeth Selden Rogers, Caroline Spencer, and Mabel Vernon (hiding banner under cloak) position themselves in first row of balcony during President Wilson’s annual address to Congress and unfurl banner reading: “Mr. President, What Will You Do For Woman Suffrage?” Wilson continues speaking; Senate page tears down banner. Incident generates great publicity in newspapers nationwide. Other CU members in gallery include Lucy Burns, Elizabeth Colt, Maud Gilbert, Bessie H. Papandre, and Mrs. Townsend Scott, who serve as guards for five women unfurling the banner.
