My dear sir;-
Well, now that the election is over and that
it was as much of a surprise to you as to any of us laymen,
I hope you can and will give your attention to a matter
about which I am writing. Please use our influence to have
the [begin handwritten underline] Territorial Committee strike out either the word sex [end handwritten underline]
in the clause of the Statehood Bill which classes women with
criminals and lunatics, or the whole paragraph. Some people
say if the word sex is stricken out it will foce the Ter
-ritories to consider the question of woman suffrage. Of
course I should not mourn if this were done, but I am not
asking the Territorial Committee to do anything so radical.
Territories have been admitted in the past without any such
clause, and, although it is true that we are politically
classed just this way, somehow it looks a little worse when
we see it in black and white. It is wonderful how stirred
up the conservative women, the club women, woman of missio-
ary societies and all that are over this action. I know
that if you reply to me that you will give this matter your
attention, you will do so. I am therefore not sending any
words in pressing you or in presenting any arguments to you.
Nobody knows better than you do that women of the great
southwest deserve something better than this classification.
Most truly yours,
[handwritten signature]
Harriet Taylor Upton
