WOMEN MAY HAVE TO
DEPEND ON CONGRESS
Believed Right to Vote in Town Meet
ing Would Not Qualify Them to
Vote for President.

Women who look forward to the posi-
bility of being able to vote IN the coming
election lin case the lSth
amendment to the federal constitution IS
ratified in timel have been making in
auiries as to what they must do under
the Vermont law to be qualified for the
privilege. Act No. % of the laws of 1919
provides that women p years of age
NAV vote in town meeting provided they
have taken the freeman's oath and have
filed list, including poll tax, at the an
nual assessment preceding, but there is
doubt whether this provision would give
women the right to vote IN presidential
election.
One local authority who has investi-
gated the matter expresses the opinion
that the federal amendment would not
enable Vermont women to vote unless
congress passed law defining the quail
fications of women voters. This Is some
what along the line of an opinion rem
dered Saturday by the attorney general
of Massachusetts, who ruled that women
of that state could not vote until the
state constitution had been amended OF
an enabling act passed by congress in
the event of ratification.
As to their qualifications for voting in
town meeting Vermont women should
bear in mind that the list which they are
required to file Ton or before April POI
must include poll tax assessed on a val.
uation of $500 Those who wish to meet
these requirements should appear before
the listers of the town in which they
reside previous to the date above men.

Nicholas Murray Butler Not Expected

NEW YORK, April Representative

that the Republican national convention
will develop clean-cut issue between con.
servatism, as represented by the old
fashioned rank and file of the Republic
can party, and radicalism as suggested
by the vote for Hiram w. johnson in
Michigan. He declared:
Based on interviews ! have had recent

to the Chicago convention, believe they
will vote unanimously when the real test
comes for the candidate best fitted by
his ability and character to win the elee-
ton. As to who that man win be the
first two or three ballots in the conven-
ton will indicate.
Il believe General Woods strength, as
it already has been demonstrated and as
it further will be demonstrated throug-
out the country in the next 10 days, war

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to beware of a

Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold
The longer cold hangs on, the
greater the danger, especially from the
germ diseases, as cold prepares the
system for the reception and develop

your cold, the less the danger of con-
