It was also a time when the Prohibition was a hot topic and many fought against women's suffrage early on because people thought women would vote in favor of Prohibition. After previous failed attempts to pass the right to vote into law in California, the suffragists kept fighting to get it back on the ballot. Rallies around the state even made it to Tehama County. An article in the Sept. 15, 1911 edition of the Evening Sentinel described a rally for women's right to vote in downtown Red Bluff with more than 700 people attending. The rally, which took place in what was called Federal Park, at the location of the Post Office on Walnut Street, was presided over by Mayor W. L. Bransford. The Rev. Ellis Purlee, a pastor of the Christian Church in Red Bluff, closed the discussion. "[Purlee] said that one argument against woman suffrage was that 'bad women' would vote," the article stated. "He declared that as long as bad men were not disenfranchised he would trust the vote of 30 or 40 bad women in a CITY Continued from page 1A employees to give up more hours is too great a burden. "We're in trouble," Councilman Wayne Brown said. "We got to figure out how to get the rest of that money." Union members, including employ- ees in the water and sewer departments, said the city would have that money had it accepted a union proposal during negotiation. That proposal would have contin- ued last year's give-back program under new conditions. Under the previous contract all employees in the union, regardless of being paid out of the general fund or the enterprise fund, opted to give back $97 per paycheck to the general fund. During negotiation the union pro- posed that members would continue the give-back program if they received a raise. The idea is that the city would give the employees a raise, and they would gift it all back to the city. That would allow the city to move the money from the enterprise fund to the general fund legally, said Art Frolli, a business rep- also presented Wednesday. The challenge focuses on speeding, impaired driving and occupant protection, Stanley said. "You did really well," Stanley said. "It's not about the points, but traffic safety. You are keeping people safe and saving lives." Each division selected one officer who has done a good job in upholding CHP's mission of safety, ser- vice, and security to be rec- ognized with the award for Traffic Safety Excellence.

The first attempt to win the vote in 1896 ended in a crushing defeat and it was more than a decade before the proposal was back on the bal- lot. As of January 1911, women in California still did not have the right to vote. Some felt the movement had become stale. It held a reputation for being humorless, old fash- ioned and associated with the prohibition move- ment. In a period of nine months the suffrage organi- zations stepped up their campaign.They used col- orful modern graphics on flyers, leaflets, buttons, posters, seed packets, and stamps. They mobi- lized their sisters; traveling the state, inviting women from all walks of life to join in. The work was intense and highly individual. Aided by the automobile and telephone, north and south suffragists merged to form an impres- sive campaign machine.Visibility was their first pri- ority.They held rallies, put up electric signs, host- ed plays and pageants, and went door to door. Small towns where no one ever saw a suffragist learned about women's rights and the importance of the right to vote. Their efforts were not without criticism. The liquor industry campaigned vigorously against suf- frage fearing the women would close down saloons. The manufacturing industry feared women would put into place expensive workplace restrictions. In the end, the vote was so close that both the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner declared suffrage had lost. In the final statewide tally, suffrage won by only 2 percent but it was enough to change history. Nine years later the 19th amendment granted women in the United States the right to vote. community of many times that many decent women and that those women in many cases might vote right if they did not live right." Although first reported results indicated that the law granting women the vote didn't pass in 1911, later tallies showed that it had indeed passed, barely. "Women lined the streets by polls encourag- ing men to vote for it, and they were very discouraged and thought the thing went down," Quincy said. In Tehama County, vot- ing results favored women being allowed to vote. The 1911 vote was 781 in favor and 437 opposed, Quincy said. Monday, when people attend the luncheon, Quin- resentative for the Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3, who is the lead negotiator. While the general fund is lacking, the enterprise fund, which is mostly made up of money collected from water and sewer services, remains sol- vent. From a legal standpoint, the pro- posed method of transferring the money from the enterprise fund to the general fund is questionable, City Manager Martin Nichols said. Once a raise is given, it will be tough to take back, and the city has to consider the CalPERS benefit costs associated with a raise. As the meeting turned into a negoti- ation session of sorts, the council agreed to consider another offer from the union before the cuts take effect. Council members said they did not want to implement layoffs but the union has left them with no other option. Frolli said he would not enter into a new round of negotiation but would ask members if they would like to sub- mit another proposal. The proposal would most likely be similar to the pre- vious one. Councilwoman Daniele Jackson said she rejected the proposal the first for the Northern Division was Officer James Keffer. Keffer made 81 arrests for impaired driving, has been a part of a multi-agency task force and done a num- ber of traffic safety presenta- tions. "It's an honor to win the award," Keffer said. "I was just out there trying to do my job and stay busy." cy hopes they take home one idea: "They're really lucky to have the right to vote." When Quincy speaks to some women about the women's suffrage move- ment, their eyes glaze over, Quincy said. They pay attention when she asks them, "What if you had that right taken away?"

Lucas and Mary Alice George, representing the Business and Professional Women's Club, also brought a proclamation before the Board of Super- visors Tuesday recognizing Oct. 10, 2011 as the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in California. A copy of the resolution is available at www.co.tehama.ca.us, under the Oct. 4 agenda item. In another, unrelated event Sunday, the Tehama County Democratic Cen- tral Committee will cele- brate the 100th anniversary 2-4 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Hall. Betty Yee, a member of the State Board of Equal- ization who has worked in state public service for 25 years, is the scheduled guest speaker, said Linda Durrer of the committee. The committee will be honoring five Tehama County women who have contributed to the county, often behind the scenes and with little recognition, Durrer said. Desserts, tea and coffee will be served and the pub- lic is invited. Tickets are $10 each and can be pur- chased from any commit- tee member or from Farm- ers Insurance on Main Street.

She ques- tioned the logic of giving raises to employees who do not have the proper qualifications or certification to justify getting a raise. Frolli said there really is no net gain for employees, but the proposal would allow the city to have a way to move the money from one fund to the other. "On paper it's a raise, but it does not contribute to employees' take home pay," Frolli said. The council reconvened into closed session following the regular meeting. As of Wednesday afternoon, Nichols said he had not received a new proposal from the union. "The fundamental question the union needs to ask itself is, 'is every- body in that union going to share the costs or is it just going to be a few,'" Nichols said. The council has called for a special meeting Tuesday to further discuss the issue. It will meet in closed session starting at 6:30 p.m., with an open ses- sion to follow. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com.
