"The formation of this Association was the beginning of the great movement for the extension of suffrage and formation of a Constitution in Rhode Island. It was drawn up by Jacob Friese" Sabin quoting Bartlett. At the time more than half of the adult males were denied the vote. The suffragists intended to test whether in fact the U.S. Constitution guaranteed to every State a republican form of government. The Association in fact determined to by-pass the General Assembly and to draft and ratify a written constitution for the state. See Patrick Conley's study of the Dorr Rebellion contained in Democracy in Decline 1977. Thomas Dorr himself remained aloof from the Association until May 1841.

17329N.p. Printed portrait on thin coated paper 19cm x 12cm. Tipped in to folding card portrait case. Inscribed beneath image: "Study Art 1 Sec 8 Clause 5 of the Constitution of the U.S. and help to abolish interest / Yours truly / Jacob S. Coxey Sr." undated but likely dating from the period of Coxey's unsuccessful 1932 Presidential run as the candidate of the Farmer-Labor Party. Jacob S. Coxey Sr. 1854-1951; aka "General" Coxey was among the most colorful agitators of the early labor movement. He gained the sobriquet "General" when in 1894 he led a group of 400 unemployed laborers popularly known as "Coxey's Army" from Massillon Ohio to Washington DC. to demand unemployment benefits for all laid-off workers. The march did little to alter public policy but gained Coxey nationwide celebrity propelling him into a long series of highly public but unsuccessful political candidacies over the next 50 years though he did succeed in getting elected to the post of Mayor of Massillon Ohio in 1931. unknown books
