Associated Press.) Jackson, aft. r
a year's trial of petticoat govei nu
has fftund it good. Halt a century
ago jury of women to be
impaneled-in the United State:- w:<-

later Wyoming insisted, and won it

uiVon wismut one single change in

women equal suffrage right with
men. Since then the feminist move

And so, when the votes were count
ed-,at Jackson Tuesday night, May
10, 'they showed the following n
suits:
For mayor: Mrs. Grace Miller, 57;

For council men: Mrs. Genevieve
Van Vlueck, 67; G. R. Blaine. 19;
Mrs. Faustina Haight, 66; Aimer

of 526 by the latest census, nestling
beneath the beetling peaks of the
Giant Tetons in the heart, of the fam

Rose Crabtree had been elected to
the town council over her husband.
Evidently the women of Jackson had
decided to spoil the town’s glamor
ous reputation as the rendezvous for
bad, bold, two-gun desperadoes..
The exact issue in the campaign a
year ago is a matter for argument
but whatever it was the women won
decisively. This year is was the same
thing over, a three to one landslide.
During their year's tenure, the
five women of the town’s administra

morally and physically and in addi

municipal improvements. They
