Had Heard Enough.
Evans did not want time ito hear
more from his constituents. He had
heard all he wanted. He had heard it
emphatically. If all meetings were
conducted in the same diSgraceful way
as the one in Ogden it would not help
the opposition great deal. Some of
his constituents were displeased at
his course. Some of the constituents
of Roberts We're displeased with that
gentleman. There was a divided SEN
timent. At the end of ten days there
would be simply embittermenits,
charges and counter5hargeS, and
there would be no means of telling
just how the people stood. There
would be no change of mind on the

was ready to submit to the will of
the people if he could find it. He had
thought, if that were possible, the
question should be submitted by

He was a friend of females. His
mother, his wife, his sister were fe-

of the United States says males but
it means females. Oaughter) If
only one-tenth of the women want to
vote they should and the others can

Jolley, of Sanpete, said the conven-

Cannon was opposed to further

Barnes said he wanted immediate
