Woman fcUlIVuge, outside of Wyoming
seems to be the especial bantling of the
! prohibitionists. They believe, or affect
J to, that they can ride into power and
abolish all the saloons by the help of the
I female vote. They are great believers in
j statistical arguments, and anent this de
lusion we give them the following historical
and statistical facts: Woman suffrage
has been allowed in Wyoming
about 20 years; the female voters are
nearly equal in number to the male voters;
the women, we are sorrv to say,
generally vote; in proportion to population
then are a greater number of saloons
and more whisky used as a beverage
in Wyoming than in Kentucky; and
while the prices of all the necearie.s of
life are about twice greater in Wyoming
than in Kentucky, yet the price of a sa
loon license is about 1 Iew.
We are profoundly convicted both by
the reason of the thing and from all information
we can gather that woman
suffrage will end in evil and evil only.
