ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES THAT
FEMALES CAN HOLD GER
TAIN POSITIONS.

jamestown, N. D., Jan. II Owing
to Judge Memmi's recent appointment
Of Mrs. Correll as clerk Of the county.
court, the question has been raised as
to the eligibility Of woman to that
Office. States Attorney Kneeland has
given written opinion on the subject,
holding that woman is eligible to
this office, which opinion is concurred
in by the attorney generals Office.
The question: is an interesting one,
involving the rights of woman to
hold Office in this state, and the opin.
ion of the states attorney reviews va
rious authorities on the subject. The
courts of various states have held that
woman, in the absence of constitu-
tional or statutory provision expressly
authorizing it, cannot hold govern.
mental public Office. States SO holding,
among others, are Massachusetts and
New Hampshire. In Michigan, where
there is no express legal provision on
the subject, woman has been ousted
from the office Of states attorney, but
her right to hold the Office Of deputy
clerk Of court has been upheld, the for
mer being an elective and the latter
an appointive office. In Missouri wo-
man was elected clerk Of court and her
right to hold the Office was upheld by
the supreme court of that state. In
Kansas, although women are not voters,
it seems that they may hold any Office,
provided they obtain votes enough,
even that of governor of the state.
| In North Dakota a woman cannot
hold an elective Office, except school
Office, our statutes requiring that only
those who have right to vote for a
certain office are eligible to hold such
office. The clerk Of the county, how
ever, is not elected but appointed by
the Judge of that court and in the
performance of his duties is subject in
a large measure to the supervision Of
the judge, the judge being liable for
the proper conduct Of the clerk under
his own official bond. Under these cir
cumstances it is the opinion Of Assist
ant Attorney General Zuger and of the
state g attorney that it is in the discre-
tion of the judge to appoint either a
man or woman to the position in
question.
