Bisbee daily review., 1904-11-18

franchisement for lack of United ,tates citizenship, prohibition never before laid on State. This word ing will be interpreted by some as even prohibiting the future enfran- chisement of women in these new States. These paragraphs might well be omitted.
 But the injustice tC woman might be averted if only the word sex" were stricken from the paragraphs. The pioneer women of the West. who have labored and suffered by their husbands sides to advance civiliza- ion, ought not to be so unjustly c asscd with felons, iunatics and children, whiie thdr own husbands, equals in other respects, are enfran- chised The Congress of the United States ought not 10 set it's seal upon the possibility of the perpetual dis franchisement of these women, an un- meritod disgrace and punishment. It is true that in many States women rave been tadtiy ranked with these defective. delinquent and dependent classes, but never before has the In- suit been so open and fragrant, nor has it been in an Act of Congress.
 The represent ative. of the United States Government, the Territorial Governor of Arizona. once before in terfered in Arizona legislation. to the defeat of women, by vetoing the wom an suffrage tdll passed by the Legisla- ture of Arizona.
 The women of all our great country should now protest against the women of the Southwest being ranked along with the classes justly disfTanchised, any O her member of which may by effort, behavior. or lapse of time, achieve enfranch.sement
 Will you not ask your organization to write to the two Senators from yoGl own state, o Senator Beverdge, the Chairman of the Committee or Terri tories, and 0 the rest of the Commit tee, asking each tc work for the omis- sion of the word sex" from the two paragraphs quoted above. or for the omission of the entire paragraph.
