Show fje OTtoman $ote THE Republicans of Salt Lake county have demonstrated that the nomination of a worthy woman to All one of the Important executive ex-ecutive offices meets with the approval ap-proval of a majority of the voters, gives equal suffrage merited recognition, recogni-tion, strengthens the ticket and gains for the party a great many votes of women who would otherwise remain at home on election day. During tho past four years Salt Lake county has recognized the right and proven the worth of a woman in public office, and tho precedent established with such satisfactory results may well be emulated emu-lated by the Republicans of the state in the convention to be held on September Sep-tember 5th. On two occasions Margaret Zane Witcher led the ticket as a candidate for county clerk of Salt Lake county, being the only candidate to carry Salt Lake City, and the administration of the office under Mrs. Witcher's able and judicious supervision speaks volumes vol-umes for the wisdom pf the local Republicans Re-publicans in their choice of a candidate, candi-date, and the result at the polls proves conclusively that the recognition recogni-tion of a worthy woman by the party meets with the approval and support of the woman voter, giving her an incentive in-centive to exorcise her franchise. Tho women of the state of Utah, if given recognition on the state ticket at this time, will rally to the support of tho party just as earnestly and effectively ef-fectively as they did in Salt Lake county. The great states of the nation na-tion are rapidly falling into line and awakening to the fact that women are capable and worthy of recognition In the administration of public affairs, and Utah, pioneer in equal suffrage, has now an opportunity of nominating and electing a worthy daughter to the office of state treasurer, one tried and true, in whom every citizen can repose re-pose tho utmost confidence. Margaret Zane Witcher will be a candidate for nomination to tho office of state treasurer at the Republican state convention, and the delegates to that convention, sensing the responsibilities responsi-bilities Imposed upon them, and having hav-ing the interests of party sucecss and the safeguarding of the public funds in mind, will no doubt acquit themselves them-selves creditably and honorably by nominating on the state tlckot a worthy representative of their wives jr 4 and daughters and women of Utah; Margaret Zano Witcher for state treasurer. |
