Show ! WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN UTAH. ' ' I Mrs. Clemence S. Lozier, Chairman of j the New York State Committee of the I Woman Suffrage party, is paying her j respects to Senator Edmunds because of ; the latter's proposal to disfranchise the M women of Utah, Mormon and Gentile alike, until such time as the plural mar-l mar-l riage question shall have been satisfac torily disposed of. Mrs. Lozier thinks "i that none but a horridly selfish and very mean man would be guilty of making i ' such a proposition, and when Mr. Ed- s munds dropped her a line to remark, that "if you and your associates understood ' the state of things in Utah, I am sure you would support instead of oppose the pro- vision to relieve the women of Utah from the degradation of voting as their Mormon masters require," the lady's dander was aroused to such a pitch at the Senator's "impertinence" that she dropped all ar- Igument in the premises and commenced to scream and fight, and this is the vigorous vigor-ous manner in which she proceeded to dress down the horrid Vermont 'man with her little broomstick: "Your, action 6hows that your constituents will do very wisely to remove 3-ou from the Senatorial Sen-atorial seat wherein you have shown yourself aristocratic, tyrannical and reactionary. re-actionary. Your course in this matter ! has destiwed your prospects for the i Presidency. Your party's leaders will know that you cannot carry New York, ; and that, though disfranchised, the wo- ; manhood of America would manage to turn other States against you." I Senator Edmunds must have been j . somewhat astonished at this evidence of 1. a storm in the tea-pot circle of Woman J V Suffragists, but as the matter now stands ! it looks as though this attempt to shoo ihiin away from interference in Utah-affairs Utah-affairs comes a little too late to do any ! good. |
