WOMAN MIGHT BE GOVERNOR
Chandler Says New Hampshire
Law Does Not Exclude Sex.
by Telegraph to The Tribune. 7

Concord, n. H, Aug William E.
Chandler, former United States Sena-
tor. in an interview to-day declares that
Mrs MariIla NJ Kicker is entitled 10
have her name on the official ballot as
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor at the coming prina-
ries Mr. Chandler says.
Strong argument will be necessary
to convince me that the Attorney Gen
eraI or Secretary of State can perform
that act of prescription. Such action on
their part might be tolerated If the con-
stitution said that the Governor Of New
Hampshire must be q male biped- But
it does not say that It only says the
Governor shall be of the age of thirty
years and shall have lived in the state
for seven years. To be sure, it uses the
word he" but that word embraces
she" so apparently She can be d
Governor.
Naturally, the way TO find out
whether a woman can really be a Gov
ernor IS for the voters to select a wom-
an at the primaries, and then elect her
at the polls Until these two things are
done the question does not arise IN
sufficiently formal manner to justify any
decision anywhere against a woman
candidate for Gove-ror. After they are
done the question may properly go be
fore the Supreme Court in such form
that II can be formally and finally and
authoritativeIv decided. ! doubt how
ever whether il can be so decided at any
other time or in any other way.
ITO be sure. there have been previous
decisions about women, but there has
been no decision that she could not be
Governor. 7 am told that our Supreme
Court has said that q. woman cannot be
a notary public: that decision is not SUI
fcientIy important to exclude a woman
d7I,- elected from assuming the office of
Governor.
ION the whole. I take it for good
law and sound common sense that the
time 10 determine authoTitatively
whether woman may be a Governor IS
either after one has been duly chosen by
tbe voters or at a constitutional con-
,en+ian or meeting Of Legislature
which shall choose to take up the SUP
5ac+ The decision may be long time
,,og+noned. but I protest against having
- decided off-hand by Mr. Eastman OF

[Br Telegraph TO The T-thune. !

DAs Moines Iowa, Aug. 1.-President Taft
Will not be ignored in the platform of the
Iowa Republican Convention, which will be
held on Wednesday. His administration
will be indorsed, to quote roughly, ''iu IS
far as it has carried out the pledges in the
national platform Of 1908
This was determined on at a meeting Of
leaders tonight. Among those present were
Joseph Lane. of Davenport. who held the
deciding vote i'll the resolutions commit
tee. He declined tonight TO serve on the
resolutions committee, thereby clearing the
political atmosphere materially.
George O. Curtis. of Clinton. will rep
resent the ID District on the platform com
nittee This IS said to mean that the ma
ioritv report of the resolutions committee
will fully represent the views of the in
surgent Senator'S, Cummins and DoIliver-
The convention will have progressive ma
iority it is said. of 80 votes.
Senator Cummins circulated freely among
his friends in the hotels tonight Among
these it was stated that every act of the
insurgent delegation would be Endorsed and
that efforts for harmony would not go to
the length Of lndorsing President Taft CT
matters in which he and the Iowa Pro-
gressive representatives have been at vart-
aICe.
Senator Deliver is considered tonight the
probable permanent chairman of the con-
vention. The Progressives believe his Sc
lection should De made TO demonstrate
their Endorsement of the two Senators who
stood against the administration bills at
the last session of Congress. Senator Cum
MINIS is the temporary chairman.
In the programme issued by the chairman
of the state central committee to-day it IL
apparent that the insurgents expect to have
everything their way, as they announce the
election Of the new state central com
mittee by the convention. Hitherto the
Congress districts have named its mem
berE.
