Whereas, Brigham II. Roberts who has
been elected representative from Utah
to the Fifty-sixth Congress, is polygamist,
home life,
Resolved, That We, the women assembled
at the call of the American Female Guar
dian Society and Home for the Friendless
do earnestly protest against the seating of
Mr.. Roberts, and
Resolved. That we urge that all men and
women use their influence with their re-
spective congressman to prevent said Rob-
erts taking his seat
A number of addresses in opposition to
the seating of Mr.. Roberts were made. Miss
Gould did not speak, but at the conclusion
Of the meeting she handed the reporters a
statement signed ''H. Miller Gould" The
statement follows:
Il am glad to have an opportunity to pro-
test against the seating in Congress of q
amy. Our country has been noted In the
past for the beauty Of its home life and
the chivalry and respect shown by man to
woman. 1t would be sad, indeed, to see
man who stands for the Oriental harem
seated among our lawmakers. / earnestly
hope that men will feel willing to write
their congressman urging them to rise in
protest against Mr.. Roberts being seated
when Congress opens"
