Deseret Evening News declares itself "a decided advocate of the rights of women."
"Female Suffrage in Utah," Deseret Evening News 3, no. 65 (February 8, 1870): 2
We are a decided advocate of the rights of women as well as of men, and believe that the two are so intimately related that they cannot be enjoyed, to the fullest extent compatible with happiness and well-being, by either sex while the other labors under disability, however limited.
Apostle George Q. Cannon was the editor of the Deseret Evening News at the time of this publication.
