Rumor Persistent That Supreme

HITS SCHOOL RIGHTS, TOO
Decision Is Expected at the End of the
Present Term About June 18
in Springfield.
The Chicago Tribune of today says:
"There was an entirely fresh rumor out
yesterday among politicians as to mbat
the Illinois supreme court will deter
mine as to the constitutionality of the
woman suffrage act-
"Somebody rot the Idea that the Jus
lice will knock out not only the latest
ct, conferring the right to vote for.
II statutory offices upon women, but
iWill go 'behind the returns" and re
verse' earlier decisions which upheld
the right of women to rote for school
nfflcers and for trustee of the univer
sity of Illinois, a privilege possessed
since the early nineties.
Would Wipe Out All Votes.
. "The effect of pucVi a. decision would
be to wipe out all vestige of woman
suffrage In Illinois and compel a con
'Ututlonal amendment before wojien
. could hare any qualifications as elect
"ors or as election officials.
.'The June term of the supreme
court Is now In session at Springfield
Close observers believe the court's de
cision on the suffrige question will
be banded down at the close of the
term, or about June 18 or 19.
"The source of the "hunch outlined
was not disclosed. It received consid
erable credence la Bome quarters. In
other quarters the rumor was discred
ited. Several experienced politicians
held the belief that the opinion, when
made, wil! uphold the constitutionality
of the 1913 act, especially so far as the
right to vote for statutory officers is
concerned, and probably as to the rlgh
to vote on public policy and other
questions, such as the local option Is
sue.
"The theory behind the 'knockout'
expectation Is that the court by a ma
jority vote expects to hold the 1913
act unconstitutional and that this Is
impossible so long as the older decis
ions which permitted women to vote
for school trustees, members of boards
of education, and university trustees
remain in force. The idea Is that the
constitution of 1870, as a whole, con
templated only full man suffrage, and
that If the 1913 act must go, everything
else must go with it.

John E. Owens was entering an order
broadening, if anything, the rights of
women in Chicago and Cicero under
the 1913 statute.
"Judge Owens made a formal order
that woman voters have the right un
der the primary act to sign petitions
for candidates for state central commit,
teemen, and forward committeemen in
the Cook county territory within the
jurisdiction of the Chicago board of
election commissioners.
"Judge Owens ruled these commit
teemen are party functionaries and
created to carry out the will of the
party voters, end that women are
members' of the political party with
which thev are affiliated.
"Judge Owens directed that the
board of election commissioners take
the necessary steps to have his order
enforced, and that women be recog
nized officially as possessed of equal
qualification with men in all party
matters.
"Under the Owens order, as con
strued by interested women, women
ill have the right to be e'.ected as
state, senatorial, or ward committee
men at the September primaries."
After six years as deputy prosecut-
ng attorney in Seattle, Wash., Miss
Reah M. Whitehead has resigned to
enter the race for a Judgeship.
Her. John Wallace Cooper, pastor of
the Unitarian church of Davenport,
has tendered his resignation to the
trustees of the church. No action has
been taken or will be teken xr the
church until the annual meeting on
June 12.
Mr. Cooper was on Monday nomina
ted at the primaries as candidate for
congress on the progressive ticket.
When asked if bis entering politics
had anything to do with bis resigna
tion, he replied, "partly." He further
said, "I will enter the campaign in
earnest and expect to put up a strong
fight. I will also remain in Davenport
and enter business. At the present
time I have several propositions under
consideration. I will go ahead with
all the civic movements in which I am
interested."

Pennsylvania some two years ago.
Mr. Cooper has, aside from his minis
