Description

Alt text: A vertical color postcard titled "Would you vote for me for sheriff?" The central figure is a woman in a stylized white police uniform with gold fringe, a star-shaped badge, and a tall helmet. She holds a baton and a pair of handcuffs. A caption near her head reads, "I'll pinch anyone I see breaking the law." A small, comical man in a striped outfit looks up at her and says, "Say, kid, pinch me quick or I'll break a law." An inset in the bottom left labeled "Suffragette Ticket" shows a crying baby in a cradle being rocked by a very large hand. A caption reads, "The hand that rocks the cradle fools the world." A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
