nchising the women of the territory.[515] Mrs.
Duniway concludes her account with a brief reference to the work in
neighboring territories:

In addition to all that is being done in Oregon and Washington,
we are actively engaged in pushing the work in Idaho and Montana
territories, where the _New Northwest_ has been thoroughly
circulated in many localities and many spirited public meetings
have been held. The Idaho legislature seriously considered and
came near adopting a woman suffrage bill last winter, and the
women of the territory are confidently awaiting a triumph at the
next biennial session. Remembering Dakota's set-back through the
governor's veto in 1885, they are carefully planning to avoid a
like calamity in their own territory. In Montana the cause has
made less apparent progress, but there is much quiet and
constantly increasing agitation in its favor. Popular feeling is
steadily ripening for the change, and let the rest of the world
wag as it will, there cannot be much longer hindrance to the
complete triumph of liberty in the Pacific Northwest.
