PALMER URGES
WoMEN's VOTES
Attorney General Declares
: Prompt Action by States
vitality Important.

y Prompt extension of suffrage to the
women of this country as a means
of stabilizing. through conservative
influence. the prevalent agitation and
unrest, was advocated by A.. Mitchell
Palmer. Attorney General, in a state
ment issued yesterday by the Ma
tional Woman's Party. The statement
follows:
The prompt extension of suffrage
to the women of this country, ! be-
Heve, is matter of vital importance
to the immediate and future welfare
of the nation.
1T is not only matter Of justice
to women that they have a voice
in the problems Of readjustment and
reconstruction, whose settlement will
determine the whole future OF Amer-
lea. but I am persuaded, because of
my close observation of the unrest
and agitation for change throughout
the country. that the nation needs
the stabilizing and conservative in
fiuencN of the woman voter.
Il urge every man who has a vote
in deciding the fate of the amend
ment to set all prejudice aside and
consider this question from a broad
national point OF view
The legislatures of New Jersey!
Kentucky and Rhode Island, all OF
which convene next month in regular
session. are looked to by suffragists
for prompt action on the suffrage
amendment.
Two special sessions of legislatures
are scheduled for January-Oregon on
January L. and New Mexico on the
18th There is no doubt that the
amendment will be ratified in both
cases" the statement from the Ma
tional Woman's Party says.
These two special sessions will
bring the number of States which
have acted affirmatively on the
amendment to twentY-four. The three
States meeting in regular session.
which are counted on to ratify, will
bring the number to twenty-seven.
leaving at least nine special sessions
still necessary
