THE STATE OF WYOMING EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT CHEYENNE.
Dec. 22, 1914.
Editress Suffrage Cook Book:
After observing the operation of the women suffrage laws and full political rights in the state and territory of Wyoming for many years, I have no hesitation in saying that everything claimed by the advocates of such laws have been made good in the state. I am unqualifiedly and without reservation in favor of woman suffrage and equal political rights for women for all the states of the American union.
Very truly yours, JOSEPH M. CAREY.
Governor.
