"The Female Suffrage Question," Deseret Evening News 1, no. 41 (January 9, 1868): 2
The people of Utah are not afraid of the the consequences of giving the women of the Territory the right to vote. In an ecclesiastical capacity they have, from the first organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had the right. Semi-annually they, with the male members of the Church, vote in General Conference upon all questions which come before the members of the Church for their action. At each Conference the principal authorities of the Church are presented to the people, males and females, for them to vote for or not as they please. In this manner women have for years exercised the right of suffrage in this Territory.
