WOMEN CLAIM CON-
STITUTIONAL RIGHT.

Several women IN Boston de-
manded to be registered as voters,
basing their claim on the Federal
Constitution which says speclfical
ly: mo state shall make or
enforce any law which shall
abrldge the privileges or immuni
ties of citizens of the United
States" The women who desired
registration were formerly citizens
and voters in California and Colo
RADIO. Lawyers who have studied
the provisions of the U. s. Constr
tuition express an opinion that
there is a possibility for women
who were encbanchised in one
state to vote in non suffrage
state, if they have complied with
the qualifications, because the
Federal Constitution says: Gull
faith and credit shall be given in
each state to the public acts, rec
ords and judicial proceedings of
every other state" and "The citi
zens of each state shall be emit
tied to all the privileges and i'm
munities of citizens iD the several
states" 1t will be interesting to
watch the decision Of the courts
relative to what constitutes clti
zenship and abridgment of priv
ileges and lmmuni.ies".
