THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

10 The PEOPLE OF SouTn DAKOTA,
GREETING:
Law and prevailing custom again
make it my pleasant duty to ask You
to lay aside your business cares and
industrial labors while we all join in
acknowledging, with becoming solem-
ity, the bounties which God has given
us during the year.
saThe past twelve month has been one
of abundant reward, so far as nature
could contribute to the demands of
man. The Creator has smiled upon
the efforts of His children in seeming
compassionate recognition of the in
dustrial inequalities which make some
men the masters of others. He has
shielded the great masses from disease
and calamity. and promises ultimately
to give us the light to distinguish His
great gifts from the gilded baubles ol
our worldly masters, and to learn how
we may divide His bounties, freely
given to all the world, with absolute
Justice to all His creatures.
Now, therefore, l, Andrew Il. Lee
Governor of the state of Soute Dakota
by power in me vested, do hereby Sc
aside and proclaim Thursday, Novem
ber %, as day of Thanksgiving ane
prayer, and ask its faithful ob
Y \, aft
Done at Pierre, the capital, this lotl
day of November. 1900.

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

1t is quite probable that the question
of equal suffrage will again be sub
mitted to the people of South Dakota,
as petitions are already being circu-
lated and generously signed asking the
legislature to submit the proposition.
Concerning the vote of women at
the recent election in some of the west
| ern states the Minneapolis Tribune
says:
"When the women get to voting in
all the states and for all the candi-
dates, it is evident that the men will
have ''to mind their p's and q's." 1t is
stated that Senator Walcott was beaten
in Colorado by the women voters, who
raised the cry of personal purity on
account of his recent divorce, and
went against him also because of his
reputation as poker player and con-
vivialist In Wyoming the democratic
candidate for congress, John Charles
Thompson, was reported to have stat
ed, in u letter to the Anti-suffrage as
sociation in New York, that a woman
vote was the easiest thing to get, the
easiest thing to keep, and the easiest
thing to manipulate of any element in
politics. This statement caused in
tense indignation among the women of
Wyoming, and they turned out almost
en masse against Thompson, elected
his republican opponent, Mondell, by
the largest plurality ever given any
candidate iii the state. He ran 500
| ahead of the ELECTORAL ticket, but the
feeling against Thompson hurt the
| whole electoral democratic ticket and
resulted in giving the state to the re-
| publicans.
In the states where female suffrage
is cstablished-Colo Utah and
! Idaho the women cast more votes
than they did four years ago, showing
a growing interest in politics on their
part. In Colorado their vote increased
from 46,72O to S694S. In Wyoming,
they cast about 1000 votes, and carried
the state for Mckinley asabove shown.
In Utah, the church influence was for
the republican ticket, this time, and
their male relatives wished them to do.
"Thus it will be seen that while in
| Wyoming and Utah the women vote
helped the republicans, it hurt them
in Colorado owing to the unpopularity
of Senator Walcott with the fair suf-
/, fragists. In Wyoming the man who
was unpopular with the ladies hap
pened to be democrat, and that was
to the advantage of the republicans.
1t is evident that the universal adop-
ton of female suffrage would tend to
make elections much more uncertain
even than they are now.
