“ Every governor of Wyoming since 1869 declares equal suffrage has been a benefit to the state. Women have voted in Wyoming for 30 years, and the present governor, Wm. A. Richards, says: "In my judgment the influence of women upon elections is good. In order to secure their vote at the polls it is necessary to nominate good men." ”

“ The Woman's Club movement in the newly-enfranchised states is considered a potent factor in creating the hearty indorsement of equal suffrage by politicians, press, pulpit and people. The leading club women of Denver, Cheyenne and Boise are all leading suffragists, although most of them were not widely known as such till a short time before the vote was taken, when, with true patriotic purpose they united in a social organization for the equal suffrage campaign, as will be done in Oregon, later on. ”

“ The movement for the enfranchisement of women, which has attained such extensive proportions as to command the attention of the entire nation, sprang spontaneously into public notice in the Pacific Northwest, about thirty years ago. ”
