This is a copy of a telegram from Utah Governor Simon Bamberger to Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Bamberger expressed that the results of women's suffrage in Utah had been beneficial and advocates for its expansion.
It was one of several telegrams from governors that were inserted into the Congressional Record during hearings on the amendment to extend suffrage to women (the 19th Amendment), during which Catt addressed Congress.
