WOMEN MAY
NOT GET TO VOTE
INJPRIMARIES
Only Passage of Federal
. . Amendment Can Give
Right, Says Official.
Indiana' women may not vote In the
primary elections this year unless the
federal suffrage amendment Is ratified by
thirty-six states before the date of the
primary, according to an opinion of W.
W. Bpencer, a member of the state board
of election commissioners, submitted to
the Indiana Woman’s Franchise league.
According to Mr. Spencer, the existing
state law will permit women to vote
for on one but presidential electors and
ghus excludes them from the promaries.
His opinion follows:
“The legislature of Indiana, at Its 101!)
session, gave women the right to vote
at the presidential election for i residen
tial electors.
“The following are the requirements
they must possess before being entitled
to vote:
“They must be citizens of the United
.States of America and must have resided
in the state of Indiana for six months,
in the township for sixty days and in
p the ward or precinct for thirty days,
and have been duly registered.
“Women are entitled to vote at the
same place In each precinct >is the men
and are to be tprovlded with sepurate
ballots, and these ballots must be de
posited in separate ballot boxes. The
votes of women for presidential electors
are convassed and returns made up with
the votes of the men.
“There are two days for registering
voters. The first is known as the Sep
tember session and is the flfty%nintli
eay before the election. The second is
known as the October session and Is the
twenty-ninth day before the election.
The male and female voters register ut
the same place and in the same manner
bit the registrations of the women citi
zens are received separately.
“Women have no right to vote at the
primary election.
“If women are given the right to vote
the same as men by the ratification of
the United States constitutional amend
ment, then women can vote at the pri
mary election without having registered
by taking the oath that is required of
first voters and persons whose names
are not on the registration books.
“If the legislature meets there should
be some change in the law, but not rb
solutely necessary.”

“BELOVED CHEATER,”
OHIO’S OFFERING.
Lew Cody, whom we would all like
to see more often, comes to the Ohio
next week in his latest film, “The Be
loved Cheater."
The story is of a girl who thought that
kissing was vulgar and she made her
anxious fiance promise never to kiss her.
The man consulted his best friend, and
he said, “Just take her in your arms,
whisper sweet things in hex ear, and
she’ll kiss you. They all do.”
But the novice was afraid and the girl
was kissed. When the lights were turned
on there stood the man she was engaged
