Wyoming is chiefly an agricultural
and stock-raislne State, with no large
commercial city and comparatively little
manufacturing or mining Public schools
open to both sexes abound and gem
er1 intelligence prevails among both.
IL is not strange therefore that little
aggressive spirit is shown by the female
voter, that there is a community of
thought and purpose between husband
and wife, man and woman Yet 1t is
worthy of notice that there has been
little of the commercial element and no
scandal in its political life. 1t is not un-
reasonable to believe that this IS some
what due TO the feminine element. which,
though relatively small, would be prompt

suffrage has worked no harm to and
probably been a wholesome restraint up

In Utah the relative proportion of the
sexes is much closer than that of Wy
oming The significant feature of its
life is the Mormon church AS woman
IS more religious than her brother. the
dominance Of church control over her is
greater than over him. Indeed, it has
often been said that female suffrage was
brought about by the rulers of the
Mormon church in the belief that there
by its control Of politics In Utah would
be made more secure, Be that as it may,
1t is clear that. when that suffrage is
largely a part OF the machinery of 4

interests of that church seem to its lead

whole thing was treated as quite So

a sort of picnic.
In this connection may be noticed some
of the legislative and popular action out

gon IN 1900 the popular majority against
woman's suffrage was only 2.I37, in 1906,
1918; and in 1908. 2I,8I2. The latest
born OF the States, Oklahoma, refused
to put woman's suffrage in Its constitu

suffrage, and again in 1903 similar action
was taken in eight States. and by no
