Presidential Suffrage Report.
Mr.. Henry Blackwell, chairman of the
committee on presidential suffrage, made a
report of the work done by his committee.
In opening he quoted the following from
the Constitutions:
Presidential Suffrage Report.
Each state snail appoint, in such manner
as the legislature thereof may direct, a
number of electors equaI to the whole num-
Der Of 9 majors and rsp eseatati, es to wnicn
the state may be emitted in the Congress-
Gu s. Constitution, Art 2, Sec. l. p. -
Mr.. Blackwell then went on to say
''During the past year your committee has
again called the attention of our state So
cieties to the important fact that every
state legislature may at any session, by
simple change in its election law, enable
Its women citizens to vote for the presl-
Dental electors on the same terms as Its
male citizens, on any qualifications OF
education or property which it may see fit
to prescribe.
of appointment vested IN the legislature was
formerly exercised by members OF the state
legislature in person, and continued 20 De
SO exercised by the legislature of south
Carolina until after the breaking out of the
civil war in 1851 In New Jersey until 1904
the state legislature in person appointed
the presidential electors. With the growth
of democracy 1t has become usual to dele
gate this power to all male citizens, but
this Is subject at any time to change, mod
ification or recall. Therefore a majority or
any state legislature can at any time con-
fer upon its female citizens an equal right
with it's male citizens to take part in the
appointment of presidential electors.
Legislatures Right Supreme.
The constitutional right of the state leg
islatures to prescribe the terms and methti
of appointment of the presidential electors
has recently been decided by the United
States Supreme Court in the Michigan case,
to be exclusive and supreme" In view
of the comparative ease with which this
highest form of suffrage may be attained,
your committee recommends that general
effort be mad in this direction by all state
societies where it is not thought best at
present to ask for the submission of con-
situtional amendment to the voters In
many of our Old ar states where ironclad re-
strictions forbid any form of municipal or
school suffrage by women, where habits
have become fixed and class distinctions
prevail, here is open door. Once let the
women of any state take their equal part IN
this great national election and their COM
plete equality is recognized and assured
Without change of state or federal conSti-
tuition without ratification by the individ-
ual voters, a simple majority of both houses
of the legislature can confer upon women
citizens this magnificent privilege, which
future concessions of all minor rights.
