The state senate Tuesday by a
vote of 81 to 10 voted to strike the
word "male' out of the state cOnSti-
tuition, and extend the right of suf-
frage to their sisters in the state, and
should the house concur, and major
ity of the voters of the state agree
thereto, there will be nothing to
prevent the women of Minnesota from
casting their vote at any election.
There is no question but that women
are as eminently qualified to vote on
many or ali of the questions of the
day, as are thousands of men who now
have the right. The reports which
come from Wyoming regarding the
working of woman suffrage and
the influence it has had on society
there, is of most encouraging nature
and there is no reason to suspect that
it's workings would be any different in
Minnesota, should the experiment be
ried

AN OPEN LETTER FROM MAYOR
WILLARD.

TO +. Kron, Thomas Hughes, G. III.
dustin, j. b. richards, and Many
Other Citizens OF 1Narakdto:
Several days since there was present.
ed to me papers signed by yourselves
and some $50 other representative
men mostly doing business on Front
street and of all political parties, re-
questing me to consent to become
non-partiSan candidate for mayor at
the approaching election. Attention
was called to the business character
of the signers, and it was stated that
no attempt had been made to secure
others. | must regard this expression
of the wishes of so many OF my fellow
citizens whose good opinion | so high
ly value as most complimentary, Ine
more so. as | am myself conscious that
during the two years which L nave
held the office, the pressure OF private
business has been so great and the
necessity for being often absent from
home so imperative that while have
tried to do the best | could L have
done the office scant justice, and in
many respects, failed TO satisfy my
self. To all inquiries | have from
the first replied that [ did not want
the office again, and that owing to the
manner in which the office came to
me before, if for no other reason, |
could not enter into caucus or con-
sent to be candidate without there
was that general desire which should
preclude either party from naming
nOlitical candidates. [ beg you to
realize the delicacy of my position in
this regard Having heard there was
n least
one political party to make nominal
ton, l told the parties presenting the
request that Notwithstanding the rep
resentative character of the signers,
that | did not believe there was SUI
fcient unanimity to warrant me IN
accepting, and proposed at once 10
publicly reply in the negative. l was,
however, dlssuaded from doing SO al
the time on the plea that
time might develop that there
was practical unanimity. The result
has been such that one Of the political
parties have nominated a candidate
for mayor. While l have never
been able to see any ex-
euse for choosing municipal OF
fcers upon national or state party
lines. as such issues do not arise In
municipal affairs, ana cdnno IeedIu
such way of doing as rule opposed
to the public good: and had long ago,
while declining to be candidate my
self, expressed the hope that our PEG.
ME would unite, irrespective OF
p bal upon someone Of the many
good and capable citizens of the town
for mayor. And while | fully recog,-
nize the compliment paid to me and
will not question the assurance that
! would he elected, If | consented,
still cannot. after mature reflection,
regard it as my duty under all the cir
cumstances, to make the personal sac
Tifice involved in the acceptance. |
must therefore adhere to my first and
and always expressed determination
not to be candidate in the face OF
any opposition.
Most respectfully,
JOHN A. WILLARD.
