Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speeches of Hon. O. F. Whitney in Support of Woman Suffrage: Delivered in the Constitutional Convention of Utah, March 30th, April 2nd and April 5th, 1895 On Saturday, March 30, 1895, the Convention assembled at Salt Lake City for the purpose of framing a Constitution for the State of Utah, was considering, in Committee of the Whole, the article on Elections and Right of Suffrage, which it was proposed to incorporate in the fundamental law of the State. Section One of the article read as follows: "The rights of citizens of the State of Utah to vote and hold office shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex. Both male and female citizens of this State shall equally enjoy all civil, political and religious rights and privileges." The proposition to confer "equal suffrage" upon the women of Utah - a plank inserted by both the Republican and Democratic parties in the platforms upon which the Delegates to the Constitutional Convention were elected - had been debated for several days, and the merits of the question fully discussed. The principal speeches against it had been made by Hon. B. H. Roberts, of Davis County, and the principal ones in its favor by Hon. S. R. Thurman, of Utah County, Hon. F. S. Richards, of Salt Lake, and Hon. David Evans, of Weber County. On the day mentioned, Mr. Whitney, of Salt Lake, spoke to the question. He and Mr. Kearns, of Summit County, arose almost simultaneously, and the latter was recognized by the chair. Obtaining his leave to make a remark, Mr. Whitney said: "Mr. Chairman, - In the beginning of this discussion I thought I had a great deal to say; but one by one the arrows have been drawn from my quiver and shot away by other archers, until I have but one or two left, and I would like the privilege of shooting these myself.
