Senate Joint Memorial No. 1. By Senator Hayward.

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 more than 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 one-half 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 immediate and favorable consideration before
the sixty-sixth session of Congress adjourns.
