Contrary to Reports Sent Out by Phoenix Lawyer, Local Legal Men State the Constitutional Amendment Gives Them Right
John Wilson Ross Believes G. o. p. Would Rob Bull Moose of Candidate by Sacrificing Own
 Woman To Report Circulated

Women may legally hll or hold dn5 state office, according to the state ments of several of the local lawyers. In direct opposition to the state ments of many of the Salt River val ley lawyers and of several of the Pres colt legal nights. this statement comes at this time from the local attorneys as a distinct announcement to the many women in the state who are contemplating running for office
 When questioned yesterday regard. ing the matter. Attorney John Wilson Ross, a prominent member of the Bull Moose party stated that he believed the stories were concocted by me e. O. p party in an attempt to disquali. fy the women Bull Moos candidates for state superintendent of public ms titution sacrificing the women candi- dates on the Republican ticket.
 "It is ridiculous for any one to Issue such Q statement" said Attorney Ross. "the amendment to the consti- tuition voted for by the people of the state on Nov 9th 1912 is as clear a. any one wants it This is an extract from the amendment:
 "Art. VII. Sec 9 -Women's Suffer. age Ameudment-Th rights of cid- zens of the United States 10 Co vote and hold office shall not be denied O. arbrdged by the state or any sub di- vision or municipality thereof on ac. count of sex. and the right 10 register, to vote and to hold any omce uneei any law in effect or which may here. after be effected. is hereby extended to. and conferred upon males and fe. males alike"
 The question or whether women had the right of franchise without the right to hold office was first brought uD by the members of the women's club, after a dispatch from Phoenix stating that it was the opinion of prominent Phoenix lawyers that they were barred by certain clauses of the State Constitution, was published in the Review
 It aroused considerable interest and criticism. but the opinion of Mir Ros, throws a new light on the question

LONDON. Aug. Communication with the army in the field virtually has come to an end. while commanders in Belgium and along the Franco-Ger- man frontier are preparing for a trial of strength which promises to de velop the greatest battle in history
 It is known the Germans are attemp. ing 10 swing their right wing around towards Brussels and Antwerp. but with what success nobody outside the field of operations knows.
 The same applies 10 attacks on Liege forts, one of which. for Pont- isse, is essential to the German sue cess as 1t is the nearest bridge over the Mouse which invaders are using to bring troops into Belgium
 Silence envelops the operations in other parts of the little country which is playing such a big part in the war
 On the Alstian frontier the French claim another victory in the capture of Saales pass, in the Vosges mount. aims. Here French officials reports say the Germans again lost heavily by their tactics and close formation. to which from an accounts, they are adhering.
 Two other small countries. Seryia and Montenegro are playing import ant roles for if accounts are to be believed they are not only offering stern resistance to Austria, but have actually invaded Herzegovine, wnere they are certain to be assisted by friendly population. This will divert some of the Austrian forces from the French and Russian borders.
 Russians are appearing in greater strength in Eastern Prussia and Austrian Galicia and are busy destroy ing railways and otherwise hamper ing the movements of the Germans and Austrians
 Germany and Austria are maintain ing strict silence regarding the move ment of their troops SO there is really only one side of the picture given Aeroplanes are being used everywhere 10 ascertain the positions of opposing forces.

MARRIAGE AND CASH

She may be right, but the chances
are that the little winged God is not
worrying over the attempt to weight
his arrows with a few ounces of gold.
1t may be foolish to rush into the
responsibilities of matrimony minus
cash, but the world has grown on
such foolishness.

money when the most glorious girl of
the ages smiles and gently intimates a
desire for flowers or candy or picnics

When the generosity of soul is

Later it is true that 5000 might
come in handy. Later life may be-
come more real-but the glory of real
love is that it doesn't stop to count
it's pennies; it doesn't stop to con-
slider consequences; it never pauses
to glance at bank accounts; but lifts
those whom it visits to such realms
