of the recent constitution. for fur
Their amendments, only two thirds
of the elected members and two
thirds of the electors will be requir-
ed.
In New Hampshire an amend
ment can be submitted only by a con-
stitutional convention which can be
called not oftener than once in seven
years and then by an excessively Diff
fcult process. The amendment re
quires for passage two-thirds of the
votes of all electors voting.
Indiana requires for the approval
of an amendment a majority OF the
votes of all qualified electors OF the
state. Rarely does a majority oil the
qualified voters of a state register
much less vote.
ELEVEN states require, for the ap-
prevail of an amendment, a majority
of all votes cast at an election, not
simple majority of the votes cast
for or against the particular amend
ment. These are Alabama, Arkansas
Illinois, Minnesota, Mississippi. Ne
braska, North Carolina. Oklahoma
Tennessee and Texas.
..Since amendments arouse less
popular interest than candidates,
amendments usually fail in these
states. Everyone who votes for a
candidate, but not for or against a
pending amendment, is, in fact,
counted against it.
Seven states fix a term OF years
after an amendment has failed OF
adoption before it en- be resubmitted.
Illinois. four years; Kentucky. five
years; New Jersey. five years; Penn
slvania. five years; Tennessee, six
years; New Hampshire, seven years
Vermont, ten years.

Of amendments to be submitted at an
election: Illinois Il one; Kentucky
TO two; Arkansas to three; while
Indiana declares that while an
mendmeuf agreed upon by one leg
islature awaits action OF the next,
of the electors, no additional
amendment may be proposed.
In thirteen states two successive
legislatures must first vote favorably
on the amendment. A two-thirds
vote of both houses is required in
several instances. In most states
the legislature meets every two years

WITH LOCAL FIGHTS

Miss Anne Martin, state president
OF the Nevada Woman's Civic
| League, In discussion of the non-par-
tisan policy of the National Woman's
| party at a meeting of the Reno
league, declared that the party is OPP
posing the Democratic candidate for
president and the Democratic candi-
dates for congress from this state
not because they r Democrats but
because their party has actively
fought the national suffrage amend
ment. Miss Martin emphasized the
fact that the Woman's party is con-
cerned only with national elections
and the members of the party are
left absolutely free to vote in state
snd local matters as they please.
Miss Mabel Vernon. the national
secretary of the Woman's party. also
spoke pointing out that the present
need for the success OF the Susan b.
Anthony amendment is the demon
stration of organized voting strength
and In Alabama the sessions are once
i'm four wears.
Because of such conditions, wo-
man suffrage in these states Is post
poned an indefinite number of years
and certainly will not come by state
action in the present generation"
