Wyoming Senator Clark Praises Women's Suffrage and Irrigation
Special Correspondence from Wasumetox recounts Clarence D. Clark, Wyoming's new senator, elected on a free silver and government aided irrigation platform. He extols Wyoming's wealth, irrigation potential, and early adoption of woman suffrage, noting quiet polls and limited family strife since enfranchisement. The piece also paints vivid Pioneer-era Wyoming towns and the state’s vast mineral wealth.
