Women's Anti-Suffrage Association of the Third Judicial District of the State of New York (Albany, N.Y.)
Letter to the editor of the Argus, written by Mrs. W. Winslow Crannell, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Women's Anti-Suffrage Association of the Third Judicial District of the State of New York. Crannell is responding to an article in which the author makes the asserts that the fact that a greater number of the women registered to vote in Utah in 1895 than the number of men who actually voted refutes the idea that women would not vote if given the opportunity.
Crannell argues that Utah cannot be compared to Eastern states because of the different values that exist, particularly in the Mormon religion. She also provides statistics from states including Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Chicago, that support the notion that women do not vote.
The letter was reprinted by the Women's Anti-Suffrage Association of the Third Judicial District of the State of New York.
