The procession was headed by Inez Milholland and two women carrying a banner inscribed: “Forward Out Of Error, Leave Behind The Night; Forward Through The Darkness, Forward Into Light,” from the hymn “Forward! Be Our Watchword.” The marchers received a good deal of applause along the route, and large “Votes for Women” banners could be seen as the parade passed by the headquarters of Alva Belmont’s Political Equality Association. Belmont herself was seen smiling as she observed the parade.
In 1908, 23 members of the Progressive Woman Suffrage Union marched despite being refused a parade permit, and last year 400 marched. The march ended at Union Square, with the biggest ovation reserved for the Men’s League for Woman Suffrage, whose members required the most courage to march. Many of the women’s delegations ran out to greet them, waving banners and clapping loudly as the men arrived.
