MRS. TAYLOR: The same as the men, $4 a day. The pay of our
legislators is small. A prosperous business man has to make a
great sacrifice to go to the Legislature, and we can not always
get the best men to serve. This is an additional reason for
making women eligible. There are more first-class women than
first-class men who have the leisure.

MISS SHAW: We are accused of wishing to belittle men, but in
Colorado they think a man's time is worth only as much as a
woman's.

MRS. CLARA B. COLBY: The Hon. Mrs. Holley has just introduced in
the Colorado House, and carried through it against strong
opposition, a bill raising the age of protection for girls to
eighteen years.

MRS. DUNIWAY: I was in the Colorado House and saw it done. The
women members are highly respected. I have never seen women so
honored since those of Washington were disfranchised. The leading
men are as proud of the enfranchisement of their women as Georgia
men will be when the time comes. The Colorado women have
organized a Good Government League to promote education,
sanitation and general prosperity.

MRS. TAYLOR: A bookseller in Denver told me that since women were
given the suffrage he had sold more books on political economy
than he had sold since Colorado was admitted into the Union.

MISS ANTHONY: The bill raising the age of protection for girls
shows that suffrage does not make a woman forget her children,
and the bookseller's remark shows that she will study the science
of government.

MRS. MARY BENTLEY THOMAS: One of our most conservative Maryland
women, who married in Colorado ten years ago, writes to me: "I
enjoyed every moment of the campaign, especially the primary
meetings." A Virginia woman who also married a Colorado man
writes back: "Come West, where women are appreciated, and where
they are proud and happy citizens." She adds: "If you will come
I will show you the sweetest girl baby you ever saw."

MRS. HENRY: Let it be recorded that the first bill introduced by
a woman member in any State Legislature was a bill for the
protection of girls.

On motion of Mrs. Colby, it was voted to send a telegram of
congratulation to the Hon. Mrs. Holley.
