Advisability Of Calling Special Ses-

date for Attorney General De-
clares Such Action will be Nee
essary to Avoid Confusion and
Prevent a Contest.

Tallahassee. Aug. 20.-Rivers H.
IBuford, of Mariana, Democratic
sominee for encouragement, is Of
the opinion that 1t is absolutely nec-
essary that special session Of the
legislature hould be Immediately call,
ed to enact proper laws on the sub
ject of valid statute defining the
qualification of voters, in view Of the
equal suffrage amendment to the Fed,
eral constitution.
In letter to John E. Matthews Of
Jacksonville, Mr.. Buford has stated
his views as follows:
II have read with considerable in
terest your statement in the MetrOp-
oils Of yesterday, relative to the ex-
listing law Of Florida, defining quail
fed voters. It is not my desire to en-
ter into any controversy, but con-
slider 1t very important that the cleo
tion in November should be legally
conducted because the result Of the
national election may depend upon
Florida. It Is my opinion that section
No. ITO of the general statutes Of
Florida is in conflict with the Federal
constitution, as now amended. ana
that . special session Of the legisla~
ture hould be called at once to enact
proper laws defining the qualinca-
ton of voters. II we eliminate the
word male from this section (which
only the legislature has authority to
do) we yet have to comply with thu
statute, which did not contemplate
such a condition as the ratification
Of the Susan B. Anthony amendment
brings about. Every woman more
than 81 years of age, who registers
will certainly be required under Sec
tion No. ITO, to pay poll tax for two
years past, unless she Is over 55 years
Of age, has lost a limb in battle, has
procured a certificate from the su-
pervisor Of registration to that effect,
as this section did not contemplate
the enfranchisement Of women and
made no provision for them to regis
ter and vote, without the payment Of
two years poll tax, as required Of
men. In other words, the Susan B.
Anthony amendment reads: The
right Of citizens of the United States
to vote shall not be denied or abridg-
cd by the United States or by any
state on account Of sex, and section
No. ITO OF the general statutes OF
Florida Is In direct conflict with this
provision, and Is therefore invalid.
and when so held by the courts, IL
leaves us with no valid statutes de
fining qualification Of voters In Flor
lila, and as the result of the national
election may depend entirely upon
the legal vote of Florida 1t is my
opinion and judgment that II becomes
absolutely necessary that special
session of the legislature should be
Immediately called to enact proper
laws on this subject. have written
