WOMEN- - . , The question of' whether women can legally register and vote, at" the coming election in November is still unsettled and from information of a reliable character we glean that the Utah Commission are unwilling or not sufficiently confident to decide it. It seems incredible - that such an important matter should be left to registrars to decide, and it involvestoo-muc- h interest t to in the new state aside without iri- be-se- Lawyers and judges have vestigation. had the matter under- advisement, but no positive solution of the question has been reached. The Utah Commission are busy for the several counties, and we notice that at a meeting held by 4he Commission on Friday June 12th, Commis-- s sioner Tatlock introduce:, a resolution on this subject, proposing to submit the question to the Attorney General, which certainly does seem the safest thing to. do under the circumstances. The resolution is' as follows: . - appoint-ing-registra- -- rt rs Uiulr-- r and by virtue- of the F foregoing provi ion -- f ihe enabling art, and the proposed - Cui:.mu:ioa-ai- ze hso vumun-wttar&-c- m e t r-- r 1 1 N veinb-- A 1) 1895? ieC to Af the Nov m ier election to T Tir. be held iiii5v5 as an av sta'e.t, can wome posses.sinp nr q 11 t mis set tn. qustuur No. r ' V e f r h e a e uffi s p r. v i d d for. in t te pnipi) eii c nntii i n?

Y It seems too bad to lay the matter over; . there certainly ought to be some positive authority for, or against the proposition. To vote or not to vpte seems to be the vital question for women at the present time.' The suffrage has been conferred upon the women of the territory by the delegates duly elected to the Constitutional Conven-tiowhile assembled, and it does seem as though the right of suffrage ought to 1 be exercised by', them in having a voice and a vote as to the officers who shall govern and control affairs in the new state.'
