Edmunds replied that Whenever n
maj ority of the women OF the United
States, or of any State desired TO
have suffrage they would have his
(Edmundss) vote in favor Of that
desire. Whenever our wives, sisters
and sweethearts Come to believe that
they could better selve society auI
themselves by exercising suffrage,
and going into the political field, in
stead Of combining themselves to the
field in which they were now en-
ployed, they should have his all in
attaining the object. H" elenl-,! that

Hoar thought this point not appli-

vote, once conferred, was as ,aur'.

ION. 1t came near to state of self
dom.
Blair supported Hoar's motion. If
the reasons given by Elmunds for
dlslranchisement of the women Of
Utah were sound, it was equally ap-
plcable, Blair thought, to the men
of Utah. If the women who be-
lieve in polygamy were to be disfran. |
chised why not the men who believe
in it?
