tions on motion of Miss Alice
Stone Blackwell:

WHEREAS, At this morning's Congressional hearing letters were
read by the anti-suffragists from two men and one woman in
Colorado, asserting equal suffrage in that State to be a failure;
therefore,

_Resolved_, That we call attention to a published statement
declaring that the results are wholesome and that none of the
predicted evils have followed. This statement is signed by the
Governor and three ex-Governors of Colorado, the Chief Justice,
all the Judges of the State Supreme Court, the Denver District
Court and the Court of Appeals; all the Colorado Senators and
Representatives in Congress; President Slocum of Colorado
College, the president of the State University, the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Attorney-General, the
mayor of Denver, prominent clergymen of different denominations,
and the presidents of thirteen of the principal women's
associations of Denver. The social science department of the
Denver Woman's Club has just voted unanimously to the same
effect, and the Colorado Legislature lately passed a similar
resolution by a vote of 45 to 3 in the House and 30 to 1 in the
Senate. On the other hand, during the six years that equal
suffrage has prevailed in Colorado the opponents have not yet
found six respectable men who assert over their own names and
addresses that it has had any bad results.

WHEREAS, At the Congressional hearing it was asserted that equal
suffrage had led to no improvements in the laws of Colorado;
therefore,

_Resolved_, That we call attention to the fact that Colorado owes
to equal suffrage the laws raising the age of protection for
girls to eighteen years; establishing a State Home for Dependent
Children and a State Industrial School for Girls; making fathers
and mothers joint guardians of their children; removing the
emblems from the Australian ballot; prohibiting child labor; also
city ordinances in Denver providing drinking fountains in the
streets; forbidding expectoration in public places, and requiring
the use of smoke-consuming chimneys on all public and business
buildings.
