The election of Mrs. Matte Hughes
Cannon to the state senate of Utah is
another step forward in the progress
of women in politics in this country.
They have hitherto been chosen to
seats in the lower Legislative branches
of the government in one or two of
the states where they share equal po-
itical privileges with the men, but
this is the first instance where wo-
man has been elected to the upper
legislative branch. What adds a
special significance to this is that the
woman ran against her own husband,
and beat him out of sight.

Some Courageous person recently

Some courageous person recently
wrote to Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas,
asking him if it were true that one of
his daughters is named Ina and an
other IRA. Statements to that effect
have frequently appeared in print,
but most people supposed that they
were the inventions of discourteous
humorists Or of practical enemies. It
seems at least that they were half
true, for in answering the query adj
dressed to him, the governor says:
THE name Ina was given to my
daughter few days after her birth,
and the singular application of it to
the old, well-established name of her
paternal ancestors did not occur to
any one until I had entered political
life" There is no daughter named
IRA, for the reason, among others,
that Governor Hogg has but one
daughter. His sons are named Will
lam, Michael, and Thomas.

A yarn about living mastodons seen
by Indians in the mysterious eastern
part of Alaska recently went the
rounds of many papers. Some of
them gave it headlines indicative of
more or less belief, and others eau
tiously made generous use of "alleg-
ed'' and cit is said.'' Prof. George
Davidson of San Francisco, not only
derides the very idea that elephans
prinogenus still survives, but says
that the tale was stolen bodily from
a book by Aleck Badlam- whoever he
may be-and formed one of series
that made no pretense to truth.
Among the inventions of this author,
it seems, was an animal, also nomi-
nally Alaskan, with long legs ON one
side and short ones ON the other, a
form of construction evolved to meet
the needs of a creature that passed
all it's time on steep mountain sides.

Another Law Question In Connec-
ton with the Constitutional Con-
XenfiOn QuesfiOn.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The Attorney-Generals opinion autho-
rizes the electoral boards to have print
ed on the ballots to be by them furnished
for use at the May elections, under the
requirements of the Walton-Parker law,
the words Convention; No Convention;
so that each voter may, when he pre-
pares his ballot, by proper erasure,
vote as he pleases on the convention
question. This opinion ne bases in part
on the 18th section of the act of March
4, 1896.
The 10Th section of this act pro-
vides that "in any county or corpora
ton where no political party dominates
candidates for county or corporation Of
fees the above provisions of this act
shall not apply" and then prescribes,
virtually, the Anderson Mccormick law
as that under which such officers are
TO be elected. saying nothing as 10 the
submission of questions. Suppose no
nominations for such officers are made
In some county or corporation, how Is
the question to be voted on in that
particular county or corporation? This
question will be extremely apt to come
up for answer in May. if not very def
nitely settled before that time. The
failure to make nominations in sim
gle magisterial district or ward would
raise it, and it is quite likely-almost
certain-that such failures will occur. Il.
