WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN UTAH

Hon. Fred ]. Kirsel, ex-member OF the
Utah legislature. was al one time a strong
opposer of woman suffrage. but has be-
come coprsrted TO Il since seeing its prac-
tical workings. When asked for the rea-
sons for his change he said:
II am afraid OF the votes Of the women
owing TO the preponderance OF the domi-
nant church. which | was afraid would
use its power perniciousy with the female
members of It's creed, and perpetuate its
political ascendency. a trial OF six years
OF the system in titan has convinced me
that the women can be safely trusted and
that either the dominant church has
chosen not 60 use its Influence politically
with ats women members, or that the
women would not tolerate dictation. I
am inclined to believe the latter was the
case and believe that the constitutions
convention acted wisely In comforting
female suffrage. The result has been cdu-
catonnl and clcvatlng and not iustifying
the fears which l had expressed. It's
