A woman is denied the opportunity to vote because she is wearing a dress and a hat that are too wide for the narrow booths labeled, “Ballots must be prepared in these booths.” A policeman is standing on the left, and, in the background, election officials are standing over the ballot box for “Election District No. 13.” Caption: How can she vote, when the fashions are so wide, and the voting booths are so narrow?
