Governor Holcomb A Prisoner. >
New York WORLDLY

To stand between 20,000000 women
If America and the ballot for which
hey have been striving has entailed
more than one sacrifice on the part of
Governor Holcomb It has virtually
made him a prisoner within the confines
of the state since the day, several
months ago, that the federal amend
ment was transmitted to the state for
ratification.
1t was one of the ambitions of the
Governor s life to attend the Chicago
convention as one of Connecticut s
"fbig four But he couldn t. He
wanted to participate in a centennial
celebration in Vermont. But he did
not dare. There was a conference on
coal shortage in Massachusetts in which
he craved to take part. Wisdom, how
ever dictated that he remain at home.
Why2
Well. Connecticut has young and
rather impressionable lieutenant gov
ernor. He is Clifford B. Wilson, mayor
of Bridgeport. He thinks the suffrage
amendment should be ratified by Con-
necticut at the earliest possible mo-
ment. More than that, he has publicly
stated that if Gov Holcomb steps out
of the state for one minute and he as
sumes the reins of government he VIII
convene the general assembly forth
with
''Immedate ratification of suffrage
by Connecticut ism t a. question of
whether an emergency exists which
would justify the calling of an extra
ordinary session, y is the gist of state
ments repeatedly made by Wilson. 1t
is a matter of simple justice. Women
should be given the ballot in time to
vote at the approaching presidential
election,
