CONTEST ELECTION BECAUSE
THE WOMEN VOTED

Dayton's city election is to be con-
tested because women were allowed
to vote. The provision of the city
charter granted by the legislature
some years since gave women the
right to vote. The contest is based
on the grounds that the qualification
of voters are determined by the con-
stitution. and the legislature has no
power to add to. or take from that
document ANYTHING Whatsoever.

her dreams were now of time when he could earn

reason she had left him. she still retained proprietary
air and a conscious smile about the trade.
After awhile she stopped smiling about black
smiths; for he died. died all alone, and would not
have died they said if he had had nursing. She got
gloomier than ever, went about muttering blaming
him, blaming everybody. Once in awhile, when she
