women? This is not an untried exper
iment Foor states have given the

alter 80 years of women's voting, pol

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
