Idaho and Utah, who beatowed full righto of cltlsenahip, almost witnout solicitation, upon every law-abiding woman within tneir Dorara. . Thla movement, which began In Ore gon in 1171, grew ao rapidly, under, the - guldunc of pioneer men and women and publlo-splrlted law-make, that the leg islative aaeemDiy enaciea, in luiuum of 1871 a married woman's aole trader bill, enabling a wife to hold her own earnings, If neceasary. aa her own prop, arty, by reglaterlng her Intention wild . the county court. Stimulated by this email beginning, the growth of public sentiment In favor or equal property rights for women has placed Oregon women far In advance, aa eeir-earning property-holdurs. of women of any other state In the Union, except the four I ttee wherein they already vote. "T- But, although we are laxptyera, we r - are not yet full-fledged votera. Thla handicap brings the wage earnings or women into ruinoua competition wun wage-earning votera, and Is a disability from wh,lch, we believe you will be glad to relieve ua by your votes next June, In the Interest of both halves of tha people. - Thla movement grew from tha email beginning In 172, above noted, until the year llg, when your renresentatlvee aiibmltted for us, by legislative enact ment, a constitutional amendment at the atata election of that year, which brought ua 11,223 votea.. Our propoaed amendment was again submitted to a vote of one half of the people In the rear 1S00. and the. "yes- vote naa or hat time grown to 26,188. The amend ment waa again submitted (alwaya by men) In 108. and the yea" vote roae to xa,uz. For rauaea that are wholly eliminated from the preaent campaign (and wa hope from all future atate campalgna for equal rights, and. therefore, need not be explained in this letter) the "no" vote of 1008 was for the first time pro portionately increased, but the readi ness with which men have responded with their signatures to the larire Initia tive petitions, through which you have reopened our case, is an assurance to ua of your success In our behalf at the June election of 190S, for which we are patriotically expectant and pro foundly grateful In advance. If - any of you ear you are weary of this agitation, we answer In all serious ness, so are we. So weary are we that we believe you will. In mercy, not com- pel us to repeat this struggle In the year 1910. as we surely must If you fall us thla time.
