NO AGE LIMIT.

Editor of the Register:
! do not believe you willingly would
mislead the women voters. In recent
issue you state that women between
"2l and 70" years under proper condi-
tons may vote. The Moore bill gives
no age limit whatever beyond q. Some
one has mixed another bill with the
Moore bill, it is quite evident, and not
at all surprising. Trusting you will
correct this mistake, am,

Two thousand meters Is equivalent to
