The Soldier Vote.

~ EFORE the volunteers under the

governors OF some of the states were
asked to summon special sessions of
the legislature in order hat provision

vote, at next autumn's elections, of

As far as the Standard learns, the

or another Of the constitution Of the
United States. 1t will be noticed that
he does not presume. through con-
gressionai enactment. to arrange It so
that the volunteers, without action In
the legislatures Of their own states.
can vote for state Officers. He would
hardly undertake that: bu he assumes
that congress can make an election law
for h election of a federal officer.
One of the first sections OF the fed
eral constitution says that the people
Of the several states shall chose their
members OF congress-. and that the
qualification for the voter at such cleo
tion shall be h same as It IL for elect
ors of the most numerous branch
that is to say. the lower house-in each
states legislature. But the federal con-
stitution does not say what this quail
hcation for voting for q member Of the
state legislature shall be; each state
settles that for itself. So that all the
arranging for a vote for congressman
is exclusively within the power OF the
state.
The Fourteenth amendment provides
that IL q state denies or abridges the
right to vote OF any male citizen who
has reached his majority, except for
participation In rebellion or other
crime. Its basis of representation shall
be reduced. This is equivalent to a
declaration that the states have the ex-
elusive right to prescribe the qualin-
cations Of electors and hat congress
cannot do 30 under n circumstances.
All 1t a do Is to provide for abridg-
which denies the right to vote for any
other aus than those mentioned.
The Sixteenth amendment declares
that 1.-The right of citizens Of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
previous condition Of servitude." The
use OF the words by the United
States implies that the United States
may prescribe the qualifications Of
electors. Blu IL has never been seri-
ously disputed that this Is true with
respect only to the territories and the
District of Columbia. 1t cannot be
held to imply hat congress can pre-
scribe the qualifications of electors in
any state.
During the war the states-all of
them. as the Standard remembers
provided through legislative action for
the polling Of the soldier vote. II the
event proves hat there Is need of action
Of the sort, as one OF the results of the
present war. doubtless timely action
will be taken in most Of the states. al
though that would force extraordinary
sessions in many states. IL next No
vember's election is to be considered.

In the Crimean war England was just

And England's slowness did not stop
there-it was two months after the bonn

cisive battle of the war was fought;
and IL was no war at all, so insignificant

were fought In the late summer Of 1870;
II was demonstrated then that France
