Washington, D. c., Feb. Ex-senator
Matte Hughes Cannon of Utah were
given hearing today by the house ju-
dietary committee and spoke on the wo-
man suffrage question. She said:
THE results which have been attain
ed in Utah speak with such unerring
logic and vindicate so completely the
argument that woman should take part
in the affairs of government, which so
vitality affect her, that l point to the
actual conditions now existing in Utah
as a complete vindication of the efforts
of equal SuffragiSts, and as the most
cogent of all reasons which can be adj
vanced why woman should have the
right to aid in nominating and electing
our public officers. None of the I'M
pleasant results which were predicted
have ensued. The contentious in fam
lilies, the tarnishment of woman's
charm, the destruction of ideals, have
all been found to be but the ghosts of
unfounded prejudices.
SUFFRAGE GIVES OPPORTUNITY
Before women were granted suffrage
they had ideas upon public questions;
suffrage gave them opportunity to give
practical expression to their views.
They gave more attention to political
affairs. They studied political economy
more earnestly; they familiarized them
selves with public questions, and their
mistakes, if they have made any, have
not thus far been brought to light.
EMPIRE STATE OF ROCKIES.
ITO the people of that young COM
monwealth, destined by its manifold re-
sources and the intelligence of it's men
and women to become the empire state
of the Rocky mountains, 1 refer you.
Il give you this reference in the full
est confidence that, with scarcely dis
senting voice, they will say to you that
woman suffrage is no longer an expert
ment, but is practical reality, tending
to the wellbeing of the state"
