We Americans always respond with

No Special Session
In Belgium.

Bolse.-Ihe action taken by the
University of :Idaho co-eds in pass
ing resolutions endorsing a special
session of the legislature to ratify
the suffrage amendment, has at
tracted the interest of sthe tparty
leaders here. The college girls
hold that Idaho's vote may be crit
ical one before the campaign is over
to get the legislatures of the var
ious states to ratify. They are en-
listing the support of the women's
clubs in various parts of the state
as we'll as the alumnae.
It is not likely that the special
session of the Idaho legislature will
be called. however, unless the col
lege girls and other women of the
state are able to convince Governor
Davis that it is necessary and win
him to their side. The governor
is not inclined at this time to sum-
mon the soions. OF course, IN the
event it became imperative to have
Idaho's vote to assure safety of the
amendment. he would order the
special session. The amendment
does not seem in any particular
danger. In fact the necessary two
thirds vote will be secured without
any trouble, the governor and
others believe. Other states which
were planning special sessions have
abandoned the idea at this time.
There is no question but that the
Idaho legislature would ratify the
amendment by practically unani-
nous vote. That seems to be con-
ceded. There is not the slightest
prospect of a fight over ratification
and as long as the two-thirds vote
] is assured the governor sees nothing
to worry about. Idaho can ratify
in regular order when the legisla
ture convenes year from now, il
is held.-Boise Correspondent to the
