gress, it should not be allowed to remain
on the statute books. repeat the recon-
mendation made to the last legislature, |
that justice demand. the right OF dover for
wife.hood Unjust discrimination, unrest,
untold suffering follow its denial. Every
enlightened argument wavers. 1t is de-
med in no state or territory except when |
something better is given. To allow the |
right suffrage and deny the right OF dover,
is an anomaly. l earnestly urge that TINS
right be no longer withheld from the |
wives of this territory.
