Their Lawyer Says He Need Not
 Oppose Amendment. IS AT LIBERTY TO ACT
In Lawyers Mind Governor is Under No Obligation to Oppose Amend ment to United States COnstitu- ton.

Hartford, March 16.-To obtain an opinion on the position of Governor Marcus Holcomb in the matter of a special session of the General Assem- bly which in a statement issued last night the governor definitely declines to call, the Wmoan Suffrage associa- tion of Connecticut today submitted that statement to Francis W. Cole. an attorney of this city.
 Lawyer Coles Opinion.
 MT. Cole replies to the association in part as follows:
 Our state constitution may be legally amended or changed either by amending. it in the manner pre- scribed therein, or by amending the United States constitution in the manner prescribed in that costitu- tion and thus by paramount law changing the Connecticut constitu- ton in so far as it conflicts with the paramount law Legally, constitu- tionally and so far as the governors oath of office is concerned. I do not think there is any reason for choice between the two methods of amend ment. The governors oath requires him to support the sconstit ution of the United States as we'll as the con- stitution of the state of Connecticut and as 1 see it does not morally or legally obl:gate him to oppose amend, ment to the United States constitu tion. He is at liberty to permit the, change in our constitution by either method mentioned above.
 ''The governor has referred to the amendment to our state constitution in 1876, erasing the word white from the first line of Article VIII of the constitution. This amendment was superfiuous.P The fifteenth amendment to the United States constitution had already obliterated in legal effect the word white from this article of the Connecticut con stitution. It is reasonablA to sup pose that the 18th amendment to the United States constitution was con- stitutional and that therefore the Connecticut constitution was legally and effectively, changed thereby.
 A Parallel Case.
 The present situation as to the woman suffrage amendment will present an almost exact parallel. If adopted tt oblitera.es constituthon- ally the word male from those pro- visions of the Connecticut consttu- tion declaring the qualifications of voters"
