Gov. Campbell and the Wyoming
Suffrage Law.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your issue of Thursday February 8. l
am quoted in reference to the granting of
woman suffrage in Wyoming as follows:
Governor Campbell was about to veto
the bill. but a delegation of women visited
him and told him that he could never hold
another office if he did SO, and after much
importuning he signed the bill
Please allow me 10 correct that statement.
posed to the BILL and it was wholly unnec-
essary for such extreme pressure to be
eXerted. He did not wholly approve the
measure at first, but when it came before
him for his signature, he investigated the
matter, and decided the case on its merits
His message to the legislature of Wyom-
ing, which accompanied his veto of the re-
peal of the suffrage act two years later,
states fully his reasons for signing the
original bill. AS to the implication that
Governor Campbell was influenced in the
slightest degree by the representation that
'he could never hold another Office if ne
vetoed the bill, wish to absolutely CONTRA
dict any such impression. Aside from the
fact that. in the then state of public opin-
ion. ne imperiled his position far more by
signature than by veto. Governor Campbell
was in no respect man to permit such a
consideration to weigh with him for one
instant. He invariably acted ON his convic-
II is only just that such an impression upon
his character should be removed. AS this
statement has probably had extensive cir
culation, would be glad if you could give
my correction early publication.

Miss AnthOny's Talks.

Miss Anthony. whose little experience
talks on everything that happens to strike
her in tie reports made, are the richest
contributions to the suffrage sessions Com
menting on the treaSurer's report, she said
ii was just possible that the delegates and
guests did not know that not an officer in
tie whole organization ever received d dol
lar salary. She said she told somebody not
long ago that she is going to retire. as no
officers In the army ever did on full pay
This caused a ripple of laughter for it is a
Well-known fact tEat Miss Anthony never
draws a cent of salary. and also that from
the slender annuity that the suffragists
raised Tor her and her sister. she saves
barely enough for their most economical ex-
penses. and that every penny of it over
and above that goes into the suffrage work
She spoke at some length Of the way the
work had suffered for lack of funds at vari-
Gus periods. and said she hoped it would

solid basis in the near future. She went on

Enlightened by Miss shaw.

Again the audience was convulsed with
laughter, and Miss Anthony laughed as
heartily as any one when Miss Shaw whis-
pered TO her that it was rather absurd TO
speak Of their using money from the pock-
cts of their Husbands
Well, now, L didn't know what a ridicu-
lous thing was saying Miss Anthony re-
right; some of us have rich husbands" and
then she went on with the business in

She felt sure the press was a splendid
ally, and she counseied the suffragists to
never be too busy to give any reporter an
interview when he asked it. and to make
sure that 1t would express her sentiments
exactly she might write it out carefully
and have it ready for the emergency.
She had found, she said that among the
woman's clubs suffrage sentiment is gen.
orally so strong that many of their pro-
grams have listed suffrage subjects for pa
pers and discussions. All the legislators
who voted against the bill in the Illinois
legislature to give taxpaying women a right
to vote on matters submitted to taxpayers
relating to expenditure of funds are being
deiugsd with suffrage literature, and II is
hoped to convert them before they are
again elected. During the coming year the

Not Later Than June.

Guthrie, o. T., Oct. 3d.
There has been considerable dis
cussion of late as to the time when
the Kiowa and Comanche country
would be opened to settlement and
considerable doubt has been mani
tested that the work of allotment
would be completed in time to
open the reservation next spring.
Hon. John II. Stephens, member
OF congress from the Thirteenth
district of Texas, takes the posi-
tion that the law makes it manda-
tory upon the president to declare
the country open to settlement on
or before June 6, 1901. Writing
to the Dallas News he says:
Zone of your correspondents
stated in yesterdays News that
the Kiowa and Comanche Indian
reservation would not be opened
for settlement before next fall.
He seems to base his opinion on
the reading of one sentence of the
law, viz: That the lands acquir-
ed by this agreement shall be open
ed to settlement by proclamation
of the president within six months
after the allotments are made, and
be disposed of under the general
provisions of the homestead and
townsite laws of the United
States He says that the allot-
ments will not be made to the
Indians before next spring, and
that the president will have six
months from next spring to open
the country by proclamation.
"Had he read the preceding
sentence of the law, he would not
have made the mistake of stating
that this reservation would not be
opened before next fall. The
preceding sentence is as follows:
That all allotments of said land
shall be made under the direction
of the secretary of the interior TO
said Indians within ninety days
from the passage of this act, sub
ject to the same treaty; provided,
that the time of making allotments
shall in no event be extended be-
yond six months from the pass
age of this act.
"Then follows the sentence
quoted above, viz: That the
lands acquired by this agreement
shall be opened to settlement by
