Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1904-11-17
An Iusnit t. American MOmpn

A bill now before Congress
proposes to admit Oklahoma and
Indian Territory as a single
State; also Arizona and New
Mexico as a single State. In
both cases the combination is
contrary to the wishes of the
people of the Territories them
selves. In the constitution to be
imposed by Congress upon the
two States, a provision is insert
ed that no class of their people
shall ever be disfrauchised eX-
cept for "illiteracy, minority,
sex, conviction of felony, mental
condition." etc. This not only
authorizes and indirectly sug-
gests the Acknowledgement of
women, but it classes women
with the degraded, imbecile, and
immature OF the opposite sex.
Such a classification is a gratui-
tons insult to American woman
hood.
The classification is archaic
and inappropriate. Women are
already voters in Wyoming,
Utah, Colorado and Idaho.
These four states cover an area
of 800, 900 square miles, 40 times
that of Massachusetts. They
have population of more than a
million, which is rapidly growing.
Two hundred thousand women
voted in these States this month.
1t is quite possible that the
women's votes III these states
turned the scale in the presiden-
tial contest. Surely, under these
circumstances, political expedi-
ency no less than politi cal prin-
ciple should prevent the intro
duction of the word "seX" in the
category of authorized exclusions.
Nor is such sweeping prohibi-
ton of future restrictions on the
