"Fron my large experience as a Bishop of the Cath

as do the men-to say the least. l also lind that women
are not active politicians nor oficeseekers. Assto the
Catholic women in my diocese, do not find that the
right of suffrage has drawn their either out Of their homes
or out of the church. 43 ,&,
During the forty-four years that woman suffrage has
been in effect in Wyoming, every governor has testified to-
its good effects, including the territorial governors who
were appointed by the president and not dependent upon
votes. In 1893, 1899 and 1901, the House Of Representa-
tiyes adopted resolutions declaring that woman suffrage
had been an unmixed advantage to the state. 4

Hon. David j.. Brewer, Chief Justice United
States. Supreme Court: Female suffrage will
come. Woman's broader education, her increasing
familiarity with business and public affairs, will
lead to it and it will not debase the home or les
sen; it's power and influence On the other hand
it will introduce a. refining and uplifting power
into our political life
Hon. Robert M; LaFolette, United States Senator
from Wisconsin: II have always believed in wo-
man suffrage to the same extent as. man suffrage,
for the reason that the interests of men and women
are not superior nor antagonistics one to the other,
but are mutual and inseparable. Cosuffrage, like
c0-educati0il, will react, not to the special advan-
tage Of either men or women, but#will result in a
more enlightened. better balanced citizenship and
