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.

Reprints the replies to four questions Mary Bentley Thomas asked the Governors of the first four states to grant women the right to vote: Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and Colorado. <br /><br />The questions were: <br /><br /><ul><li>Are your women as devoted to house and home interest as formerly, and are they as good wives and mothers as before they voted?</li>
<li>Is marriage less common or divorce more so than ten years ago?</li>
<li>Do your best men object to women at the polls or in the office, and do the latter seek office to any great extent?</li>
<li>Has there been any direct benefit or injury to your state from the woman element in politics, and if so, what are they?</li>
</ul>
Around 1903-1904, Susan B. Anthony wrote the governors of these states a letter asking for their thoughts on the results of woman suffrage in the individual states. Mary Bentley Thomas read the results of that inquiry during the National American Convention of 1904. <br /><br />It is possible that this document is related to that event. Thomas served as president of the Maryland Woman Suffrage Association from 1894 to 1904 and contributed the Maryland state chapter to volume four of the History of Woman Suffrage.
