Bismarck, N. D., March Mot
wtthstanding the passage by the legis-
lature Of two measures designed to
give the right Of suffrage to women.
1t has become apparent that the
women Of North Dakota are not to
for It.
Opposition to woman's suffrage has
taken q stand at this late day and
petitions are being prepared to sub
NIT tho question to q referendum.
The opposition has prepared a
statement Of the matter which de-
clares that the constitution Of North
Dakota provides that woman cannot
have the right Of suffrage until tho
people at tho polls. II sets forth that
the Legislature passed Senate Bill
13, . concurrent resolution for tho
amendment Of section 121 Of our
present constitution by striking out
the word male" from that section
and thus extending tho suffrage gem
orally to the women the Same a.

60 to the 1919 legislature and IL ap-
proved will then be submitted to the
electors for approval or rejection at

:. Lawyers to whom the question has
been submitted say the statute u alb
solutely void for the reason that the
legislature is forbidden by the consti-
ton, Section 123, from extending the
right Of suffrage without a vote Of the
people. The situation 10 this! soo-
ton LIE OF the state constitution gives
the right Of suffrage to male persons

ton 128 gives the women tho right to

Section 132 is the important and con-
trolling section apparently. It reads
