. "The fact la. Hetty," aald Mr
Bright, in addressing his wife, "it Is
shame that -I should he sitting in
the legislature of Wyoming instead
C fou. My early education can't
Measure up to yours and I know you
axa far more capable than I am.
History falls to record the exact
words In Mrs. Orlght's reply, but It
la known she cleverly admitted
"there were several women in Wy
mine far more capable to represent
their state in legislative matters than
tka husbands who had been elected
t that duty." Her reply apparent
ly made a deep impression on her
knafcand. who closed the conversa
tion with the emphatic remark:
"Now. Detty, I know you are right
ami I'm going to aee what can be
lane. We will see If politics In Wy
aing can't be played so that women
mar have the vote the same as men.
Such. In brief. waa the start of
float suffrage back in the Territory
C Wyoming in 1889. Mr. Bright
Lsok up his task In the most approv
4 political fashion. First, he went
ta the democrats In. both houses and
assured them that 11 was a certainty
Governor Campbell, a republican,
would veto any Mich action by the
Aamocrats. "but that the democrats
might Just as well gefcthe credit and
honor of introducing an issue certain
to be recognised later.
Mr. Bright lost no time In hurry'
lac to the republican leaders and
succeeded In getting them deeply In
terested. , He stressed the democrat
ic opposition- he ha4 met and threw
the highlight upon the advantage it
would be to the republican party to
have the credit for furthering this
liberal measure which the democrats
, would Inevitably defeat.
So convinced were the politicians
on each aide that their confreres on
the other side were going to vote in
the negative that republicans and
democrats lined up In a strong af
firmation of the measure-much to
the astonishment and consternation
Of most of fern. However, those
who had giveii only a Up nervlce to
the suffrage , bill contented them
selves with the thought that the re
publican governor, Campbell, who
had not favored the bill, wbuld cer
tainly veto H.
Now It so happened that Governor
Campbell was a man with a sense of
Justice that could be affected by the
consideration that he gave to the
Mil. The more he Btudied the situ
ation, the more he became convinced
Of the Justice of the measure. Pres
oatly his signature waa affixed and
woman suffrage became law n Wy
salng.
And so it happens that hundreds
-if members of the National Ameri
can Woman Suffrage Association are
planning to meet In Jubilee conven
tion In Si. Louis, Marcn z to zv,
not only tf commemorate the flffy
years of suffrage campaigning and
triumph on the part or the associa
tion,' but to also pay tribute to Wy
oming, the first commonwealth in the
world's history to bestow unlimited
suffrage on women. ''
Iater. ChlefMustiee Howe and As
sociate Justice Kinsman, the men
who had the territory's larger Inter
ests at heart, begged the women to
lend their counsel in Jury service
and primary that every courtesy and
protection should be extended to all
women who would raljy to the need
of the hour. And the women served
on the Juries and have continued to
serve on Wyoming Juries from hit
day to this.
Wyoming has given unqualified
endorsement to woman suffrage
throughout the fifty years of its ex
perience with Jt. There was an abor
tive effort to repeal it by the .Incom
ing legislature of 1871, but already
the reform had Intrenched itself in
popular sentiment and no repealing
of It was possible. When Statehood
swung In the balance on the Issue, In
1890, Wyoming men sent word to
Washington that they would stay out
a hundred years rather than come In
without their women. They figured
that It ought not to take more than a
hundred years for the rest -of the
country to catch up. It was a good
liberal margin. It's fifty years since
Wyoming was won and in exactly
half of Jhe states of the Union the
women over twenty-one have been
empowered to vote for the next pres
ident.

HE ' IDEAL TRACTOR
THE IDEAL PLOW :
Henry Ford spent years and thousands of dollars perfecting the Fordson tractor
he refused the'sale of many tractors before he finally developed a tractor that met the
requirements, but today you are offered in the FORDSON TRACTOR more real value
than in any other tractor ever marketed: It has been tested and tested again until its de
pendability durability, low operating costs adaptability to farm work and wonderful
values are proven beyond all question. So confident was the Oliver plow works of the
success of the FORDSON that it expended $100,000 in the perfection of a light, yet
durable, plqw that would fill the need of the need of the FORDSON TRACTOR equip
ment. They succeeded so well . MrFord ordered 100,000 plows of the Oliver design.
All other equipment is especially designed and approved by the Ford factory,
The demand for FORDSONS will far exceed the supply better order now.
