cent tissue OF Misrepresentation concern
ing womans suffrage in Wyoming, pub
lshed in the New York Times and re-
produced in the Leader with suitable
editorial comments, has excited the
most profound Indignation in onr city.
The writer is denounced by the press
and citizens. Woman suffrage is re-
garded as good thing there, and it would
be death to any political aspirant to OPP
pose it, Action will probably be taken
to disabuse the minds of the public
against the wrong impression made. All
the leading and intelligent citizens favor
the suffrage. Many are not in favor Of
women holding Office, but everybody
nearly is q unit in favor Of their voting.
