I think we ought to determine. each for himself. whether female suffrage is an advantage or a disadvantage to a State. Is a State with female suffrage less or more desirable ? I might ask the question whether any member of this body could be induced to go and emigrate to one of the new States. to go to Wyoming. for instance. because of female suffrage. Would he not pass by it at a considerable distance? If. then. it is trueand I believe it to be truetbat the citizenship of a State or Territory is disparaged or diminished by the existence of female suffrage. are we doing our duty. which we are required to perform when we admit a State. by allowing a community with such a feature in its organic law to be a member of the Union?
