National Prohibition
Is Issue In Vermont

MONTPELIER. Vt. Sept. 8.-The
question OF national prohibition will
be rejected in the three-cornered con
test for the Republican nomination fo-
Governor at the state primaries mex,
Tuesday. The nomination is considered
equivalent to an election.
The next Governor will not have the
power of veto if the Legislature ratifes
the proposed amendment to the Con
stltution, and, according to the figures
OF the Vermont Anti-Saloon League, a
majority Of the Republican candidates
for the thirty seats in the State SEN
ate, which is expected to be. as usual,
soild!y republican, are in favor of pro-
nlbltion. Nevertheless. each of the
Gubernatorial candidates has declared
himself on the issue, which has been
gwen prominence throughout the caro-
paign.
Of the three candidates. Judge
Charles II. Darling. Of Burlington
VINO was Assistant Secretary of State
IN the Roosevelt administration and
later United Sites Collector of Gus

tenant Governor Frank E. Howe, Of
Bennington, have announced them
selves IN favor of ratification of the
prohlbltlon amendment Percival ".
Clement, of Rutland. is the president

and has maintained that the question
OF prohibition might be better left for

Hugo Is Preparing
Ballots for Men
I'm u. s. Uniform
Republicans Will Make Ef-
fort TO Get in Soldier

Many Obstacles inWay
State Law Will Disenfranchise
Many Enlisted Voters,
1t Is Believed

Francis M. Hugo, Secretary Of State,
Is preparing ballots for New York SOL
dlers and sailors away from homo, on
both sides of the sea. He will trv to
reach every New York soldier with a
ballot
George A. Glynn, chairman Of the Re-
publican State Committee, with an eye
to the prosperity Of the Republican or
ganlzation, will see to 1T between now
and the first week of November that a
Republican ballot is placed in the
hands of every Republican soldier and
sailor.
The task of getting the ballots to
New York soldiers and sailors and then
getting them back to the Secretary Of
States office is likely to be four times
as hard as it was a year ago, when
only about $4,000 New York men were
IN uniform, and most of them were in
the United States. Now there are
$4,000 in the service
War Moves May Prevent Voting
1t is not at all certain that the ef-
forts Of the Republican organization
will meet with the cooperation of the
officers of the armies on the other side.
With the American troops on the march
toward the German frontier, as they
are likely to be from now until snow
flies, the. probability is that the army
officers in many instances will find it
impracticable to allow ballots to be cir
culated or collected, for obvious rea-
sons. The intention of the Republican
managers IS to go as far as they can
and do the best they can under the
circumstances.
Abraham S. Gilbert, who for many
years has been the legal adviser OF the
Republican managers in handling COM
pick election law matters, when asked
yesterday to outline the law bearing
upon the voting of New York soldiers
and sailors away from home, said:
THE provisions for voting by SOL
diers and sailors are found in Article
Is of the election law, and is in con-
formity with Section of Article Of
the constitution. which provides that:
Soldiers Rights Under Law
In time of war no eector in the act
ual military service of the state. or of
'HS iiilNu AoldleS, VI III tile dIluy Or
navy thereof, shall be deprived of his
vote by reason of his absence from
such election district.
The election law as amended in
1917, and as again amended this year,
provides generally that list of absent
voters be prepared by the Secretary Of
State under card index system. 1t is
the duty Of the Seer stsry OF state to
prepare official ballots in the general
form used on Election Day. excGat = at
provision is now made for straight
party voting.
"At any place where there are more
than ten New York State voters c.ec-
ton polls may be established at the
quarters of the captain or other COM
manding officer. The election may be
held on the day of the general election,
or on any secular day within twenty
days next prior thereto, such prior day
to be fixed by the commanding officer
and proclamation to be made. The cleo
tion cannot be held later than the day
of She general election; the polls to be
open not less than three hours, and no
polls to be kept open later than sunset.

Female Editor Says

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 1.-THE At

edited and printed by women. has three
definite aims in life, according to the
first editorial printed under the new
regime.
"Win the War" is slogan number
one "Promote New Government" is

paper will further "the special inter

"The Evening Union will steer a

to say. "Our whole policy is con-
tanned in that first injunction, win
the War for we wish to inject into
the process all the energy we possess,
and from it we hope to extract the
maximum of good for our own country
and for the world"
"Do you intend to make it a news
paper of general interest, or devote it
to large extent to the interests of
women ?" its editor in chief, Mrs. Mary
North Chenoweth, was asked to-day

"The Evening Union," unlike all other

They do not regard their venture in

supremely confident that they know

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-A plea that
all American women take part in the
great struggle that is being waged to
secure them political freedom was sent
by Alice Paul to-day to members of the
National Woman's party through out
the country.
" If enough women protest, and pro-
test with sufficient vigor. the Federal
suffrage amendment will be passed" +"
Miss Paul declares.
Those who cannot take part in the
suffrage protest demonstration in front
of the White House on September 16
and others to follow it are urged to
contribute financially to the fall cleo
tion campaign in the West, when vot-
ing women will be urged to protest
cratic party's continued blocking of the
amendment enfranch Using women.
The letter in which Miss Paul calls
for protest in one form or another
against disfranchisement and aid in
the fight for democra for women, in
part, follows:
THE suffrage amendment is still
blocked in tho Senate. The Adminis-
tration and the Senate show no signs
of acting on it,
"This Congress will soon end. IF the
Senate does not pass suffrage before
Congress closes all that has been
gained by Its passage in the House will
be lost We shall have to begin work
on the 435 men of the new House Of
Representatives and the ninety six men
of the new Senate
against this Senate delay women
must continue to protest. If enough
women protest, and protest with sutfi-
clent Vlgor. the amendment will pass.
I'm Washington on NJ Monday, Septem-
Der lG another protest meeting will be
held st Lafayette Statue.
1--WE earnestly hope that you will
JOIN IN this demonstration yourself and
bring others. You undoubtedly realize
the Importance of our having numbers.
The protests of many women viii bring
quickly what the protests Of few will
take long to accomplish
DO not force other women to bear
the burden of this fight for you. Your
failure to help will make more difficult
and less effective the protests Of those
who have been actively carrying on the
fight in Washington, and upon whom
the burden will continue to fall un-
less you and the other millions Of
women who desire this reform but have
not helped Will take their share in the
battle.
"f you cannot take part in the dem
onstration on September 16 send us
your name, if possible, for one of the
later ones. We shall continue these
protests week by week as long as the
