Proposal to merge[edit]

The recap is not really about Harry T. Burn; it is a chapter in the history of the 19th amendment in which Mr Burn plays a part. In light of this, I propose merging this section with the section 19th Amendment in the article History of women's suffrage in the United States Comments? Suggestions? Please join the discussion at Talk:History of women's suffrage in the United States#Proposal to merge. Gosgood 12:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Harry T. Burn is an important American politician. He should be mentioned in other articles, and also have an article of his own. Jaredroach (talk) 18:11, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Burn or Burns?[edit]

I just finished Not For Ourselves Alone and he is referred to as "Harry Burns." I cannot find a reference to him in the 15th Edition of Encyclopaedia Brit. to check it. Any decent online source available? Considering the number of historians who worked on the Ken Burns doc, it would be very surprising if it is indeed "Burn" and not "Burns."

The New York Times reported his name as Harry T. Burn in their August 19, 1920 edition:^[1]

The vote at the outset was on partisan lines, but when the name of Representative Harry T. Burn, Republican, of McMinn County, was called, he voted "Aye." The opposition then virtually conceded defeat, for Mr Burn had voted with them to table the resolution, and his change gave the suffregists the needed majority.

Take care — Gosgood 00:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statement after voting[edit]

According to the Ken Burns doc, Burn(s) says “I know that mother’s advice is the safest for a boy to follow,” which sounds much more likely for the period. RoyBatty42 23:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright of the photo[edit]

The original poster of the photo claims the photo is their "Own Work". This seems unlikely as the photo was taken in 1918. The name of the submitter is resonant with the name of an author of a book on the subject, so the submitter might be that author, and have acquired rights to the photo for their book. There is a possibility this a US Government photo. This might be a newspaper photo, so the copyright could be expired. "The copyright has expired (pre 1923 or +95 years from publication)" per http://www.advantagearchives.com/blog/the-advantage-companies-newspaper-copyright-law/ Jaredroach (talk) 18:18, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
