June 17th, 1913

Emily Davidson, an honorable Suffragette, threw herself under the King's horse at the big race last week.  Though her intent was to show dedication and catch the royals off guard; her act proved to be impertinent to our cause.  In fact, it was rather harmful.  The government is now arguing that if we are stupid enough to commit suicide, then how can we be trusted with voting rights.  Hopefully we will be able to straighten things out.  We already made the mistake of blowing up David Lloyd George's house who turned out to be a Suffragette supporter.  We might have lost our chance to vote...
