At $50 the convention was called to or

offered the opening prayer.
Miss Maud Pratt sang for the conven-

Mrs. Stansbury.
Mrs. Stansbury said that if she had
been living in any state but Colorado, she
would perhaps have looked upon woman
suffrage in that state as melancholy
failure News reporters would no more
think OF telling the truth upon the SUD.

The truth of the matter is that the de-
iberationS of the women in the leSlsla-
ture were carried on amicably and with
out acrimonious debate. The Associated
Press report, n1agnlfed and minated, went
the rounds of the country, and some
southern newspapers thanked God that
the women in their domains had no de-
sire for active political life.
Mrs. Stansbury briefly outlined several
bills introduced by the women of her
state, and said that they showed no signs
of the sumptuary laws which are sup
posed to be 50 dear to the female heart.

President Anthony.
Susan B. Anthony said that Mrs. STAINS
bury'S able argument shows that even at
ter woman has voted she is the woman
still. Laws are the cryStalliZed wisdom
of centuries. and if men cannot be made
to execute them, then the eXigencleS or
the case cali for the education of the
masses. Constituents, IS rule, are in
the aggregate of the same stripe as the
representative.
The trusts and monopolies of the ma
ton have the ballot behind them The
church and educational institutions are
also supported by the ballot. While
women cannot get legislation in their IA
vor, these huge powers are able to gain
their own ends by the force of the bal
lots they can call to their aid. Institu-
tons represented by voteless women can
gain no consideration in the councils OF
the nation.
Rev. Shaw on the Anti-Suffragists.
Rev. Anna B. Shaw said she would pre-
fer above speaking to the people to have
public debate with Bishop Roberts.
A young preacher, she said, once told
her that God never intended women 10
deliver sermons. He said that her mind
was so constructed that she could not
elucidate the scriptures. If it was so
that God made this mistake in making
the female mind, it cannot be denied that
with 'gumption." Oaughter.)
1t is time for woman to have the ballot.
An old hand at getting up petitions once
said that the name of one man was worth
the names of forty women. The women
will always be ignored until they can en-
phasiZe their wants with the influence of
votes. In a Dakota platform provision
was made for the sufrage of woman and
the Sioux Indians. The Sioux Indians
won and the women lost. The reason
that the dignified red men We're successful
was that they were so well informed.

In Wyoming women voted for twenty
one years. The records of the state show
that there is not an insane woman :. the
asylUms, and only three insane men.
This proves that woman suffrage is not
only beneficial to women, but it also
keeps the sterner sex in the ranks of the
sane. Qaughter.)
