Title continues: "an appeal for freedom, justice and equal rights. The ladies of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints protest against the tyranny and indecency of federal officials in Utah, and against their own disfranchisement without cause. Full account of proceedings at the great mass meeting held in the Theatre, Salt Lake City, Utah, Saturday, March 6, 1886." This is a record of the protest held when it was apparent that the Edmunds-Tucker Act of 1887 would withdraw the right of suffrage from Utah women. Printed in Salt Lake City by the Deseret News. Flake, C.J. Mormon bib., 5533. Ex libris of the Buffalo and Erie Historical Society.
