CHURCH OKEHS
FEMALE VOTES
Assistant Secretary Of State
AT Vatican Writes Ap-
proyal Of Suffrage.

The National Catholic Welfare
Council yesterday received the fol-
lowing message to American women
from Archbishop Ceretti, assistant
secretary Of state at the Vatican;
eff new times call women to ex-
ercise their rights as voters, the
church must encourage them to ac-
complish this task with honesty and
perfect diligence according to the
dictates of Christian conscience.
This opinion is shared by many IL
lustrious princes of the church, such
as Cardinals Gibbons and Mercier
Christian mothers need not fear
to put aside some hours of home
duties to accomplish their civic
duties. Young women need not fear
that. in accomplishing their civic
duty in this respect, they need lose
their Christian reserve and modesty.
For when the use OF the vote
Is intended to bring into public life
the bon fetal influence of Christian
principles, which will guarantee the
integrity Of the family. assist edu-
cation and influence all public in
stitutions to respect Christian faith
and liberty, the effects doubtless will
be saiutary and be blessed by God.
Il remember, years ago, when
apostolic delegate to Australia,
where woman's vote WAS long ago
introduced, / saw with satisfaction
that when the citizens called public
meetings together Catholic women
and even nuns went forth freely to
use their rightful liberty and were
received with respect from all.
N"Recently. when elections were
held in Bavaria and other states in
Germany, the bishops asked the
Holy See for permission for cloistered
nuns to leave their monastries 10
vote, and the Holy See granted this
permission without difficulty.
The test to which Catholic
women in the United States have
been called is not a novelty. and
my hearty wish is that they will be
able so to meet the test as to de-
serve well of their country and
their faith"

In Kentucky Il appeared six
weeks ago that Mr.. Harding would
carry the State by from 10000 to
$500. In desperation, speakers
were turned loose in the State by
the hundreds by the Democratic
leaders and the response was almost
Immediate. The tide turned. and no
man can say what the result will
be on next Tuesday. The women say
they are afraid of Harding on the
race issue and will vote against him
for that reason. II they keep their
word, Kentucky, which only once
when It gave Mckinley a part of its
electoral vote. will remain in the
Democratic column, despite the fact
that II has, at present, a Repub-
