A FAIR POLYGAMIST.
MARTHA HUGHES CANNON, AN ADJ
VANCED WOMAN OF UTAH.

She Has Fourth Interest In q salt Lake
Husband aud Beat Him at the Recent
EIeetion-E4er Original Ideas & Lie and
Politics.
One Of the most interesting of the
women who were elected Legislators IN
the recent campaign is Martha Hughes
Cannon Of Salt Lake City, who was
elected state senator. defeating her hus-
band, DR.. Angus III. Cannon, by a ma
jOriry of A. 600 Mrs. Cannon will be
the first woman to become a member of
any state senate in America, although
instances of the election of women to
the lower branch of state legislatures
have not been uncommon. In the last
election no less than three woman legis-
latOrs were chosen, but none of them ran
against her husband as did Mrs. Can
non.
Senator Cannon is a physician, a
Democrat and a Mormon. She has no
legal standing as a wife. being the
fourth living wife Of DR.. Cannon, a
leading elder in the church of Brigham
Young. He is the man who, at the time
the federal government put its seal of
disapproval on pOlygamy, caused some
thing of a sensation by refusing to
choose between the two sisters whom he
had already married and further defed
Uncle Sam s authority by marrying two
other women, OF whom the senator elect
was the second. The four Mrs. Cannons
were obliged to live abroad for a time,
but now they all reside in Salt Lake City
and preside over separate establishments.
Senator Cannon lives in a comfortable
little brick house with her two children
and practices medicine with some sue
cess, when she IS not giving her atten-
ton to politics. As may be imagined,
she is an advanced woman of the most
pronounced type, not as to her appear
ance, but in her ideas. She frankly de-
clares her belief IN polygamy and an
swers the insinuation that she is only

the hyacinths, but cannot rival them in
