TRIUMPH
OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Governor Shafroth of Colorado De-
Iivers an Address in Garden
Theater in New York.

New York. Dec. 3.-That woman sur
frage viii become universal in this
country was predicted in a speech here
today by Governor Shafroth Of Colo
RADIO. Governor ShafrOth was the guest
of the Equal Franchise league. His
speech was delivered at the Garden the
alter. and he was introduced by Mrs
Clarence J. Mackay.
He said that equal suffrage is right,
expedient and practical, and that the
women desire 1t,
ct was in the mountain states, the
birthplace of freedom" he said, that
suffrage first was given to women, and
it is as sure to extend to every state
in the union, as every principle of right
is bound ultimately to triumph"
Putting to himself the question
whether women want the ballot, he
said:
init to those who have tried It the ques-
ton, and scarce a cOrpOrals guard
will be found to vote against 1t.
THE fact that no legislature has ever
introduced In the general assembly ~
Colorado a bill to resubmit the question
to the people shows that there is no
demand for any change in the elective
franchise Of that state. The principle
Of equal rights for women is as IT.
revOcably determined in Colorado as
the freedom of the negro is determined
in the nation"
To show that the women vote when
they have the opportunity, Governor
Shafroth said that 10000 women out of
IS, 900 registered in Colorado in 1908
had voted. while of 41,500 men, $500
had voted, the proportion being about
the same.
