STATE OF ARIZONA EXECUTIVE MANSION
Since equal suffrage became effective in Arizona in December, 1912, the many critics of the innovation have been quite effectually silenced by the advantageous manner in which enfranchis.e.m.e.nt of women has operated. Not only have the women of this state evinced an intelligent and active interest in governmental issues, but in several instances important offices have been conferred upon that element of the electorate which recently acquired the elective franchise. Kindly a.s.sure your co-workers in Pennsylvania of my best wishes for their success.
