5.25" dia. Carboard Carriage Police Pass for Wilson Inauguration w/ "Convenient Crossings" on verso. Signed by disgraced Police Maj. Sylvester. The day preceeding the 1913 Wilson Inauguaration saw an unprecedented turn out for a womens' suffrage parade in DC. The women anticipated a need for increased security, reaching out to the military for intervention. When denied, Metropolitan Police, D.C. Major, Richard Sylvester, promised to control the crowd, but did not curb the tide of men shouting derogatory remarks and blocking the flow of the parade. Lt. wear, VF. A unique dual relevance to the Suffrage Movement & the Wilson administration.
