Will the better element womeu oome to tbe trout as politic! workers and fill our offioes, or will tbe worse? Which is tbe better element of women? The quiet and unassuming queeus of our homes, our mothers. sisters, wives and sweethearts, or will politics be controlled by the club women? This is not an untried exper iment Foor states have given the ballot to women unconditionally, and alter 80 years of women's voting, pol itics bas not arrived at tbe moral stan dard of our own state, in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, or Utah. But you say "There are not as many women as men in Wyoming." Yes, but in Utah womeu are. so plentiful that seven or eight of them olub together and keep one. husband between them, and with this numerous company they have not closed the saloons, or closed the brothels, or gambling dens, or purified rolitios. Indeed, there are not foor states in our Union where politics la so oorrunt as in the foot; states where women vote.
