trict, is making strong fight with splen-
did prospects. An Endorsement of him
from many merchants is now III circula-
ton.
All certify to his great ability and high
character. He is prominent in labor cir
cles and is well known as having stumped
the State in past campaigns for his party.

The following letter to Miss Susan B.
Anthony is comforting the ladies of the
Republican Central Committee. 1t gives
tine idea of woman's rights as seen in
Wyoming, and is from the wife of Senator
Joseph NJ. Casey OF Cheyenne:
CHEYENNE, Wyo, Oct. %, 1896.
Dear Miss anthony: Your letter came here
during my absen ce, which accounts for my de-
lay in answering IL. heartily sympathize
with you in your efforts to secure to women
the right to vote, through an amendment to
the constitution OF the State OF California. AS
| you are aware, / have heretofore said and
written much on the suffrage question in this
State but another word may not be out of
| place at this time.
The women OF Wyoming generally vote The
| voters are not confined to q degraded class.
| The women of homes, the cultured wife, sister
and daughter not only vote but attend the
| primaries. ! do not find that women voting
materially changes the powers of the political
parties, but Ill the selection OF candida tes and
IL the making of nominations the expected
| vote OF the women becomes, as 1t should,
| important factor.
Women vote, not because they have the
light, but for the same reason that men vote,
namely that they have intense interest,
moral and financial, in the results of the cleo
| lions. The elections in Wyoming are quiet
and orderly. No woman encounters or
poets to encounter disorderIy conduct at the
polling booths in this State. The best women
OF the State go to the primaries These are
not held in saloons or in the vicinity OF drink
ing places. l have not known in one instance
OF a woman being insuIted at a primary or at
an election since she has had the right TO vote
in Wyoming.
Women voting no longer excite comment
No one now even doubts the expediency OF her
exercising the right TO vote and hold Office
She exercises her political rights as wisely and
as well as the best of the men. Her influence
is and can only be for that which is best in
American politics.
If the California people should amend the
constitution of the State, giving women the
right to vote al the approaching election, they,
/ know would never have reason to regret
their action. am, with much respect. faith
fully yours JOSEPHINE CAREY.
Judge Coffey's strong Endorsement of
Carroll Cook for Superior Judge has
greatly aided that superb lawyers chances,
and his election is now foregone con-
clusion.
Judge A. B. TreadwelL candidate for
Police Judge, is an honorary member of
the typographical Union, and it is said
be will get nearly all the printers votes.
judge Sanderson, though Democrat, is
making strong fight for Superior Judge.
His friends say the greatest opposition
comes from the Noe heirs and their fol-
lowers.
