Grand Forks daily herald. (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1914-1916, 1914-11-02
O

Hon. Hiram w. Johnson, Governor
California-There is every reason
to regard equal suffrage as having
justified itself in Colorado. The wo-
men have proved themselves a great
force for good government. Their
understanding Of politics is surpris-
ingly keen. On every occasion when
chtse. they have proved themselves in
telligent voters. In several particular
instances the women have waged
battles in this state in behalf Of de-
cency and good government that
challenge the highest regard for them
voting citizens. j.
William w. Morrow, judge OF the
Ninth judicial District Of the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals (Cali-
fOrnta)-I find that many women
who did not desire to vote upon q. all
questions, now that they have been
a high sense, Of duty. and that their
exercise of the right is having q bene-
acial influence upon political affairs.
I am, therefore. g. warm
convert to equal, suffrage and I sin
cerely hope that the influence. -of
women at the polls will continue and
it will be increased in power and
efficiency.
