This is a cabinet card showing John James Ingalls who was born in Massachusetts in 1833. He came to Kansas Territory in 1858 and settled in Atchison, Kansas where he practiced law. Ingalls chose to live in Kansas because he believed the state had a bright and promising future. He was a member of the 1859 Wyandotte Constitutional Convention, and later served as secretary of the state senate during the first legislative session. During this time, he designed a seal for the state; however, it was modified considerably before it was accepted by the state legislature. From 1873 to 1891, he represented Kansas in the United States Senate. Ingalls' public career ended when he was replaced in the U.S. Senate by W. A. Peffer, a Populist. Following his public service, he wrote magazine and newspaper articles extolling the virtues of the state. Ingalls died in 1900 and was buried in his hometown of Atchison, Kansas.

The Sixteenth Amendment
Creator: Ingalls, John James, 1833-1900
Date: 1904
Senator John James Ingalls was serving in the U. S. Senate when he wrote this article about the Sixteenth Amendment that would give voting rights to women. He offers a number of arguments about why women should not receive suffrage. He argues that the case for women is very different than that of African-Americans because he believed that the consent of the governed was based on the ability of the governed to impose law by force if necessary. He did not believe that women would be able to do this. He also cited statistics from Massachusetts that he felt showed a lack of interest on the part of women in voting. He closes the pamphlet by writing that "Whenever woman wants the ballot and society needs her enfranchisement, then the sixteenth amendment will be adopted." This pamphlet was a reprint of an article that was originally published in The Forum, New York, New York.
