IOWA SUFFRAGE
IS postponed
ACTION DELAYED BECAUSE OF
CLERICAL ERROR.
LEGISLATURE UNABLE TO ACT
Secretary Allen Admits Error Although
He Is Ardent Advocate of Suffrage
Congress May Relieve the
Situation.

Des Moines, Nov. 9.-Woman SUI
fragp in Iowa will be postponed two
more years because of the forgetful-
ness of a clerk in the office OF the sec
'etary of state, w. S. Allen. The dis
covery was made yesterday that no
dec of the amendment to- the state
constitution was not published three
months prior to the recent general
election, as is made mandatory by the
constitution itself.
AS a result of the omission the next
legislature cannot take final action TO
submit the amendment to a vote OF
the people, but can only take initial
action, as was taken by the legislature
of 1917 and let the succeeding session
decide on submission of the amend
nient to popular vote.
Allen Admits Error.
Admitting the existence, of the err
ror, which he said was simply one of
omission by clerk in his office to
wn0m the matter OF publication of
notice was entrusted, Secretary OF
State Allen pointed to his past record
Of aiding the suffrage move TO head OIL
any imputation that the block in the,
path of suffrage was due to his desire.
Secretary Allen himself is an ard
ent believer in woman suffrage and
there is no thought in any quarter of
imputing to him any intent to inter
fere with the program which seemed
10 be heading for an early and sue
cessful elimination.
Congress May Act.
Mrs. Walter S. Brown, chairman of
the alliance of suffrage clubs in Des
Moines, when notified of the mistake
last night, said:
THE delay caused in state suffrage
is rot as serious at this time as it
might have been because we are all
speeding action soon on the federal
mirage amendment"
