Proverbs: 23 Ch. 14 Verse.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA EXECUTIVE MANSION

Since its adoption in October, 1911, equal suffrage in California has been put to the most thorough and severe test. Every conceivable sort of election has been held in the past three years, and women have been called upon to exercise their new privilege and perform their added duty not alone in the usual fashion, but in various primaries, including one for presidential preference, in local option elections, and they have been compelled to pass on laws and governmental policies presented to the electorate by the initiative and referendum.

The women have met the test and equal suffrage in California has fully justified itself. In nineteen eleven, by a very narrow margin the amendment carried.

Were it to be again submitted, the vote in its favor would be overwhelming.

HIRAM JOHNSTON, Governor.
