2.25x6”. Blue on dark beige fabric. The Utah Constitutional Convention had both Democratic and Republican delegates. Convention opened March 4, 1895 in Salt Lake City, 9 months before Utah became a state. Convention had 120 delegates. Among the issues discussed was votes for women. Utah had legalized women’s suffrage with territorial legislation in 1870. When Congress passed the Edmunds-Tucker Act of 1887, however, voting rights for women were abolished along with plural marriages. Women took action to reclaim the franchise. In 1889 they founded the Women’s Suffrage Association of Utah. Despite Mormon opposition to women’s suffrage at the constitutional convention, it passed by more than a two-thirds majority. In the Nov. 5, 1895 election, some 80% of Utah voters (still all male) approved the new constitution and two months later (Jan. 4, 1896) Utah became the 45th state of the United States. There is a light .5x1” pencil mark at the bottom in the shape of a coffin with a tiny face in the coffin window. Its significance is unknown. An interesting piece of history in VF condition.
