HOW MRS. MUNDS WAS CRUEL[Y
 DECEIVED
(From Saturdays Daily)

! vention, in behalf of woman's suf- frage, has finally discovered that the prediction promises of candidates, particularly those of the Democratic persuasion is but an iridesent dream. She expressed her sentiments, the other day, in a communication to the Phoenix Republican, and she asks the JOurnal-Miner to republish the same in order, as she says, "that the people of Yavapai county may know what kind of men MT. Moore and MT. Jones are" The Journal Miner eheerfully gives space to the article, which is as follows:
 To the Editor of the Republican:
 Sir: Your very able editorial in Monday mornings Republican com menting on the inconsistency of the Democrats in the Constitutional con vention who voted against the Con nelly equal suffrage bill, which ex- pressly provided for the submission of the question of equal suffrage under the "direct legislation act, I" about which we heard so much po- litical bombast during the recent campaign awakened train of thoughts which left me in a very unhappy and uneasy frame of mind.
 If inconsistency were all I had to charge against at least two of the Democratic members from Yavapai county, I might be able to go back home and forgive and forget and be a Democrat still; but my uneasiness is caused by the recollection of the great number of letters I sent to the members of our suffrage organ ization in our county, and numerous others I sent to personal friends ask ing them to support A. A. Moore and Albert Jones. My appeal was based on a written statement which I have from MT. Moore saying that he would gladly support equal suffrage, and MT. Jones promised to me per sonally that he would support equal suffrage in the Constitution, or fail ing in that, to support any eompro- mise measure we asked for.
 The COalter bill, asking for full suffrage in the Constitution, was introduced first, but a canvass of the situation soon revealed the fact that many of our friends were un- willing. to risk such a measure and so the Connolly bill was introduced as a compromise, and our friends notified that we wished them to support that bill instead of the Coalter bill.
 The first intimation that we mad of MT. Jones' perfidy was when we were informed that he had refused to sign a majority report of the committee, thus sending the bill back with a minority report, when his signature would have given us a majority report. When the bill came to a vote both MT. Jones and MT. Moore voted "No.' And from MT. Jones, who had announced him. self to the women of our county as the champion of equal suffrage, ae- cepting their assistance, and for whom we were kept pretty busy "ex- blaming" all through the campaign.
 How do you account for it, MT. EditOr7 Some say he is under the influence of the gentleman from our county whom the newspapers charae terize as "the man wno talks more and says less than any two men in the convention" It may be that he has been hypnotized. for MT. Gun niff is said to possess hypnotic pow CTS. It is said that he has even hypnotized himself into the belief that he can be elected Senator from Northern Arizona. I wish he would hypnotize me into the belief that I can explain things satisfactorily to the women in Yavapai county.
 MT. Editor, I love old Yavapai very dearly, but right now the Salt River valley looks good to me, and think m stay here quite a while, for through my head there rings a ceaseless song, and the burden of ifs refrain is-
 "I used to be afraid to go home in the dark,
 But now I'm afraid to 90 at all."
 Very truly,
 FRANCES W. MUNDS. Territorial Chairman Equal Suffrage
 Association.
