(From the Kemmer Republican) Fifty years ago woman’s suffrage’ came into the world! Its advent occasioned no sensa- tion, In fact, it was weeks after it | was introduced before it became | known farther than a hundred miles from the place of its creation, Its advent was not attended by a blare of trumpets, nor was it con- veyed by flowery oratory. It was not created in palatial chambers, nor were there mighty champions to bring | about ‘its being. But it had its birth among sons of chivalry. Big hearts and big minds | sought to confer upon womanhoo {the right of political franchise, and it was done—amidst lowly surround-' ings. It was in 1869 that the constitu- tional convention was called at South Pass, then capital of the territory now known as the state of Wyoming. Miners, cow-punchers and Indian fighters assembled in the big log house to frame the constitution, den, father of Clarence and Howard; may| Holden, now prominent ranchers of Lincoln county. At that time a wo- man in the territory was almost an unknown quantity, and were objects of reverence. It is related that dur- ing this convention, when ‘the word | | woman was ‘used the members would | rise and uncover their heads in re- | spect to their mothers, sisters and | possibly sweethearts from whom | they had been separated so long. | The convention was noted for the introduction of many freak measures ‘so be included One swarthy member, whose name is not known, drew a section conferring the right to vote upon women of the new territory. The next day the member thought he had been too rad- ical and asked to withdraw it, Rising to their feet, to a man his associates cried, ‘‘No! No! No!” Thus woman’s snffrage came into the world, and at the eve of its 50th anniversary, promises to become na- tion wide. Wyoming is proud of be- \'ng the original woman’s suffrage | commonwealth of the world. South Pass at that time was the largest center of population in Wyo- ming. It was near the old Oregon trail, and gold was discovered there in the 50’s by trappers and soldiers. The town was built within a gulch in | the Wind River range, and at once time boasted of a population of 5000. The first two winters of its existence | the population was slmost. wine oat ; by Indians.
