The cause of the equal suffragists
moves very slowly in Vermont, judging
BY the overwhelming vote against it in
tho HOUSE of Representatives of the
Green Mountain State. The prospect
was better forty years ago than it is
now. In 1847 Mrs. Nichols, one Of the
pioneer sufragists, was editor of the
WSadh0,n County Democrat in Yer
mont, and largely through:.her efforts
the State removed the disabilities of
married women in respect to property.
Two years later it passed homestead
law. In 1850 Mrs. Nichols was invited
to address the House of Representa-
tives on the subject of women's rights
and made an appeal which moved her
audience strongly. The effect, how
ever, seems to have worn away with the
lapse Of years. and the House on Thurs
day repudiated the doctrine by vote
of 1872 to 81.
