The following is a statement of the Woman Suffrage movement, corrected to January 1, 1893. Thirty-two States and Territories - a majority of the Union - have given women some form of suffrage.

Wyoming

Women have voted on the same terms with men since 1870. The convention in 1889, to form a State Constitution, unanimously inserted a provision securing them suffrage. This Constitution was ratified by the voters at a special election by about three-fourths majority. Congress admitted the State July 10, 1890.

Washington

Women voted in the Territory for five years, till excluded by a decision of the Territorial Supreme Court, which court was not elected by the people nor responsible to them. In adopting a State Constitution, the question of allowing women to vote was submitted separately to vote of the men. It was not carried. Many women claim that they were illegally excluded, and are seeking to regain suffrage.

Kansas

Women have suffrage in all municipal elections. About 60,000 voted last year.

Utah

Women voted in this Territory until excluded by the Edmunds law. They have organized in large numbers to demand the repeal of this law. The State Constitution of 1884 gave suffrage to women.

School suffrage exists, on various terms, in Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin. Women can vote for trustees of the State University in Illinois, and for county superintendents in Minnesota.

Montana

The State Constitution guarantees women the power to vote on local taxation.

New York

Women can vote at waterworks elections, and on questions of local improvements; also for Assembly District School Commissioners in the rural districts once in three years.

Pennsylvania

Women vote on local improvements, by signing or refusing to sign petitions.

New Jersey

Women can vote at elections for sewers and other improvements.

Southern States

Tennessee on incorporation of cities and annexation thereto. Mississippi on fence questions under the stock law. Arkansas and Missouri by signing or refusing petitions on liquor license. Kentucky, widows whose children attend school vote. Texas women in many counties vote by signing or refusing to sign petitions for school officers.
