WORRY IN TEXAS
Women May Vote In Primar-

On Extra Work.

IRy Associated Press 10 The Banncrl /
AUSTIN, Tex. April 2i-What the (
women will do is the question That Is
perplexing Texas politicians The an.
,wcr will be given July 81.
The recent special session of the
legislature passed Il bill giving Texas
women the right 10 vote in primaries
and nominating conventions. This
act will become a law June 20 and the
women then need only to register TO
be eligible to vote in the primaries
July q. The law requires them to
register IL days before the primaries.
After 1918 the women must pay the
poll S1.75-in addition to regis
tering, before they can vote. On ac-
count OF the poll tax some contend
that the total vote cast this year by
the women will be heavier than in
coming years.
Data Is not available to show just
how many women are Of voting age.
! However, since the male voting
strength of the state Is 10000 it is
| believed that of the women equals
this amount and possibly exceeds it.
| Based on that assumption, politicians
express belief that the women will
! poll from 10000 to 0000 votes in
the July primaries.
In estimating the female vote, how.
ever. it Is pointed out that the aver
age Texas election calls ont only about
80 per cent OF the potential male vote.
Many express belief that the women
will not cast more votes than the men
