A lengthy report was read from Mrs.
Lucy r. Taliaferro. vice president OF
the league for the State OF Wyoming.
In which hse referred to the efforts of
the Congressional Union for woman
suffrage to defeat the Democratic
candidates in the twelve equal suffrage
States.
81 do not think that in itself the
declaration OF Mr.. Hughes In favor OF
an amendment to the Federal Consi-
tuition would have any effect whatso-
ever on the voters of the West" says
the report. Democratic women espe-
cially and all thoughtful suffragists OF
all parties will see that the question ID
