Good Government Club

hC SOOA SRfNA ~ A-~AN 49,
held very interesting meeting
last Monday night at the resi-
dence of Rev. Hacker There
was good attendance of enthu-
iastic men and women and con-
siderable business transacted.
Among other things arrange
ments we're made for the visit
of Rev. Anna Shar, President OF
the National Women Suffrage
Association. We expect this to
be the great event Of the winter
and are quite sure that any one
falling to hear her lecture will
be a great loser thereby
The following protesthas been
sent to each member OF the Sen
ate Territorial Committee:
The statehood bill now pending
in Congress contains the follow
ing clause in Paragraph 5 Of
Section Band 21: 5th''That said
state shall never enact any law
restricting or abridgidg the
right of suffrage on account of
raceIcolor or previous condition
of servltude, or on account Of
any condition or qualifications,
save and except on account of
illiteracy, minority, sex, conyic-
tion offelony, mental condition
or residence; provided however,
that any such restrictions shall
be made uniform and applicable
alike to all citizens.
The use of the word sex" in
this clause will work a great in
justice to the people of these
territories. No law or enactment
should be passed which would
prevent the new state from en-
franchising women if it choose
TO do so. We hold as did ovr fore
fathers, that Taxation withouC
representation is tyranny. The
women of the southwest have
labored and wrought side by
side with the men for the ad
vancement, betterment and civil
lization of these territories.
Therefore, we, representing the
Good Government Club Of Chick
asha Indian Territory, most
earnestly beg Of you to use your
influence to have the word sex
dropped in the aforesaid bill be-
for it goes before the Senate Of
the United States Contributed
