Suffrage in Utah.
The Colorado Woman:-The studious
and practical consideration which the
women Of Wyoming, Colorado and
Utah are giving governmental prob
lens is an encouraging indication that
the world will not lose in conscientious
and careful thinking through it's en-
franchised women.
The interest which women are tax
ing in making themselves conversant
with the affairs of state. may prove
an Inspiration to the old voters to
give more than cursory glance at the
great problems which from time to
time arise to try the soul of man"
The advisability of granting the bal
lot to women is no longer regarded as
problematica in fact, it is a fact
thoroughly demonstrated.
The women of Utah, as have the
women of Wyoming and Colorado, are
taking the subject of citizenship seri-
ously, and they are earnestly endeavor-
ing to make themselves worthy citizens
Citizens whose votes shall be cast in
every instance for the advancement of
the great American commonwealth.
The women of Utah are forming
clubs for the study of the principles of
government, and for the investigation
of the topics of the times; a systematic
course. of study has been provided
which cannot be other than prolific in
good results.
Love For COIOred Men.
The Broadax: The Republican rati-
f1cation love feast last Monday eve
was another exhibition of their disre-
gard for the colored man. All classes,
creeds and compilations were there, and
all invited to take part, save the coll
ored man. The late candidate for the
legislature, the president of the Lincoln
club and other talented colored speak
ers were present, but not even five
minutes could be spared to one of these
gentlemen. The one thousand colored
voters of Utah will please .paste this
in their hats
City Committee Row.
The echoes of the row in the City
Republican committee on Friday even
ing were as interesting as the row
itself. E. E. Richie, the member from
the Fifth precinct. was as mad as a
fighting cock over the fact that Lance
Earl and Joe Lippman had succeeded
in buncoing the committee into giving
the Fourth about six more delegates
than it should have if a fair appor-
tionment was made. Lippman and Earl
worked the committee by bringing in
the checkers lists used at the last
election, which gave too high a vote,
and worked the extra delegates
through on this. Then Richie made
huge kick. He finally had three
more delegates allowed to the Fifth
and then three more were added to the
Third and Fourth. making the injus-
tice more apparent. =
A great cause of dissatisfaction
among the faithful Republicans yester-
day was the fact that the women had
been given right to vote at the pri-
maries. The opposition to woman stuff
rage is very strong in the Republican
party of this city and the leaders of
the anti-suffrage idea were endeavor-
ing in every possible way to have the
order set aside and the women pro-
hibited from voting. The kicking was
very strong.
Another great cause Of dissatisfac-
ton is the small number of delegates
said yesterday, There is money be-
ing used in this fight for city candi-
dates, and it is a dangerous thing to
have too small a convention 1t will
be an easy thing to buy up major
ity of this convention and run it in
the interest Of one or two men. We
will have a circus UP in our ward,
where we'll have to turn down several
fellows who would like to be delegates.
1t is enough to make man feel sick. -
The Ticket.
Logan Journal: If you want tip on
the race for supremacy in Utah this
fall we will give it-place your hopes
on the rooster-Democracy is bound
to win. The signs of the times point
in that direction and the coming cleo
ton, like a battle of destiny, is already
won. The ticket named Thursday by
the Democratic convention is win
ming ticket and the names of Thatcher,
RaWlins, Roberts and Thurman are
not destined to he trampled down by
the people of the west.
II is believed that Trunbo and Ben
nett will be named by the Republicans
as the choice of that party for the Uni
ted States Senate, provided the next
legislature is Republican. And 1t is
further believed that the Republicans
have refused to name their senatorial
candidates because they are not sc
proud of them as Democrats are OF
Thatcher and Rawlins.
Clearing on the Cover"
The Nephi Blade. in its last issue
makes a rather warm reply to George
M. Cannon's sensational speech at the
ratification meeting, in which he at
tackled the Blade for its attack On G
f. Allen, and warned the paper not to
tear off the cover from the old is
