THE BAY STATE.
Ex-Governor Talbot Replies to Cover
nor Butler.

BosroN, Nov. 8.
Ex-Gov Talbot for the State board of
health replies to Gov. Butler, that the board
fails to understand what action he desires
them to take in regard to Mrs. Clara T.
Leonard of that board. In view of the open
and public possession of the office by Mrs.
Leonard before the passage of the public
statutes and in view of the official recognition
of her membership by the executive and leg
islative branches of the government it will
not be claimed the legislature, in enacting
these statutes, acted in ignorance of who
we're then member of the board. and it seems
fair to assume the legislature intended Mrs.
Leonard to serve out her term of office. He
cites the laws of the State as serving to
show that the legislature did not intend to
except women from the membership OF the
board and any other construction would be
repugenant to the extent of the original act.
The board declines not to recognize Mrs.
Leonard as a member, but its legal adjudca-
ton is requitte. The only safe resort Is the
supreme judicial court which is alone able to
decide the question.
