Jena, La. -. Mrs. Clara B. Perrin,
who is a graduate of the law depart
ment Of Tulane University and who
was recently admitted to practice De-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States, Is strongly in favor OF woman
suffrage. She is one of Loulslanas
few women lawyers actively engaged
in the practice of law and says she
hopes the women of the state who are
preparing to make a fight before the
Legislature when 1t meets in May Will
be successful in obtaining ratification
of the federal amendment. She says;
81 have never taken any prominent
part in the fight for woman Suffrage
and do not intend doing 80 at this
time. have thought all along that
women should be given the right or
franchise and l thin that the reasons
for doing so are greater than at any
time in the past,
~ have noticed that thos who op'
pose woman suffrage always try to
Justify themselves by pointing OUT
some great national reason or SONS
great calamity that will befall the
country If it passes, Just now note
that one faction wants the ballot pa'
wants the state to grant it. This re-
minds fe the child that wants a drlnh

Constitution Of the United States an'
I hope to see my native Louisiana TN

for the so-called states rights question:
I have heard no lawyer of any conse
ouence argue that the question o
states rights is involved. OF course
there are people who, seeking a pre-
text to justify themselves in their OF
position, clamor about states right'
These people are against US and VIM
We hope to see the amendment raune
by Louisiana, we know that IN cas-
