cranes, and they claim their lives are

All OF the republicans who declared
that the law was constitutional come
up for election in June. 1915. Jus
tee Farmer will also be a candidate
Tor reelection on the same date.
The majority of the court in its de-
cision holds that it had already passed
upon the constitutionality of laws
granting votes for women. The prin-
cipal point at issue, the decision de-
clares. was passed upon in the old
case OF Plummer VS.. Yost. involving
validity OF the old state law granting
women the right TO vote for certain
school Offices.
The majority contends that by sus-
tanning the principle that women could
vote In any election. a precedent was
by the supreme court
which should be followed In the case
passed upon.
Both Justices Cooke and Farmer
wrote dissenting opinions. In them
they contended that the granting Of
votes to women is in violation of the
state constitution.
