Apropos of the visit of Senator w. f.
Borah of Idaho, to Kansas next June,
Mrs Ethelyn Leslie Huston, who is
spending this week in Topeka, tells 4
story of the senator's connection with
the suffrage fight in Idaho. At that
time Senator Borah was practicing law
in Boise mot many years after. he had
left his home in Lyons, Kan.) and was
then considered one of the most bril-
liant attorneys and convincing speak
ers of the state. Personally he was
strongly opposed to the cause of ballots
for women, and while the suffraSettes
knew his opinions, they employed him
to conduct the fight for them before
the supreme court Of Idaho. On the
other hand. Prosecuting Attorney Par
sons of Boise was placed at the head of
the anti-suffrage party, while he per
sonally strongly favored the equal
rights cause. The fight was carried ON
long and vigorously, and the senator
won the battle against his own convic-
tions. The court handed down the de-
cision that made Idaho an equal SUI
frage state, and soon afterwards Chief
Justice Huston received a letter of
gratitude from Susan B. Anthony, and
Mrs. Huston also received letter from
her, only a few days before the news Of
her death reached them.
