or of I thought and pure Ideas Ideal combined with nn n earnestness to carr carry out the things they cried for tor It would havo hae been een a 11 ho howling ling success Hut when It In women trails of character habits and that should have Urn lain dor mint till true the end ur of nil all time Ume It hits an outer circle ot of the target It I is the unread women who kill suffrage for tor the reason that they have no party fealty they simply shrug their shoulders and Inquire what is III there III It II In a country where the tho people are thoroughly up to 10 date In Int t education and learning suffrage might be III a greet creat thing Hut DUI we are In It and andIn In It to stay lay To talk ot of repealing suffrage laws is isto to my notion A repeal would ha hate p to come before a

who would stay with the to repeal l that thal It II would be impossible to accomplish the delred results It if there could be a penalty placed upon every woman In the State over years ears of oC age Rge who did not vote at al ele election lIon time as th they generally pleaded for tor the franchise and ancI then fillet failed to sustain It at every elec b by their votes otes then It would be a success The leaders or of the suffrage movement In this State Stat went to a con conn nUon to nominAte a ticket that suit suited uit ed them Then ThIll th they went outside of oC Colorado to 10 suffrage Instead of oC at home and leading their companion women to the fight I eibak from a thoroughly political standpoint As for m myself elf I alt registered In III 1191 and I have hRc never ml d a primary or an election since that tine time 11 My mother years of age Is IB the same Mme It women were all that way Va they could he be organised 1 In battle array and amI advantages would be
