ought no harm and has done great good in many ways; that it has largely aid ed in banishing crime, pauperism. and vice from this state, and that without any violent or oppressive legislation; that it has secured peace ful and orderly elections, good gov ernment, and a remarkable degree of civilization and public order; and we point with pride to tne iacts mai after nearly twenty-five years of woman suffrage not one county in Wyoming has a poor house, that our jails are almost empty, and crime, except that committed by strangers in the state, ii almost unknown; Rui nr. a result of experience, we urge every civilized community on earth'to enfranchise Its women without delay. "Resolved that an authenticated copy of these resolutions be forwarded by the governor of the state to the legislature of every state and territory In this country and to ev-ty legislative body in the world; and that we request the press throughout the civilized world to call the attention of their readers to these resolution" BOYLE CASE SET JUNE 13.
