A MEMORIAL TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES, PETITIONING THE GOVERNMENT TO PASS THE FEDERAL SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT

To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled:

Your memorialists, the Governor and Legislature of the State of Utah, respectfully represent that,

Whereas, the Federal Amendment to grant the right of suffrage to women equally with men has been before the Congress of the United States for the past forty years; and

Whereas, the women of the non-suffrage States feel that the time is come when the Congress should give favorable consideration to this measure of justice to onehalf the citizens of these United States.

Now therefore the Governor and the Legislature of the State of Utah respectfully petition that the said suffrage amendment receive favorable consideration before the 64th session of Congress adjourns.

J.W. Frank President of the Senate.

J. T. Tolton Speaker of the House.
