WOMEN ARE INTERESTED.
Those in Winona County Would Like
to Vote at Prim aries.

Winona, Aug. l2.-It is possible that
court decision as to whether women
will be permitted to vote in Winona
county at the primary election for nomi-
nation of county superintendent OF
schools may be obtained here. Mrs.
LOOMS of Lewiston has filed for the re-
publican nomination for county superin-
tendent and the question of whether
women are entitled to vote becomes of
Importance.
The opinion of Attorney General
Young that women were not entitled to
vote would probably have been accepted
here but for the decision of the county
auditor and county attorney in Rock
county to allow them to vote at the pri-
mary election in that county. County
Auditor Joseph Wincewski has now re-
ferred the question to County Attor-
ney Richard A. Randall for an opinion,
and will be governed by it.
1t is said that if Mr.. Randall holds
with the attorney general that women
are not entitled to vote, Mrs. LOOMS
may try to mandamus the county au-
ditor to issue woman's ticket and in
this way a judicial decision of the ques-
ton will be obtained.

out the following statement:
Having announced my candidacy for

matters of public moment, | declare that

commemorative law making body | will
put forth every effort to secure the
will best subserve the public interest,
to reduce the expense of operating the
states governmental machinery, to OPP
pose the creation of new boards and
commissions which are unnecessary and
a burden upon the taXpaying portion of
the people, to lend an aid in the secur-
ing of just railroad legislation -legisla-
ton that will give shippers and business
men generally equitable rates and pre-
vent determinations. Also the tax laws
should be so drafted as to compel the
rich man to pay a just proportion OF
the taxes. Laws which have bearing
on labor will receive my most careful
consideration, and on the other hand my
attitude toward capital will be such as
to encourage the investment of wealth
in all legitimate enterprises.

so he sliced hold of the tongue and chung
