ferred to, whether the effect OF
the amendment, if adopted. will
be to entitle women to register
under existing provisions of Act
1875 of 1916, known as the general
registration law.
The proposed article of amend.
ment referred to provides, pri-
marily, and in substance that the
several states are thereby prohib-
tied from denying women, because
they are women, the privilege of
voting on equal terms with men.
The main questions which will
be involved in the event of it's
adoption, az to its operation and
effect considered in itself and with
respect to inconsistent provisions
of local suffrage requirements,
constitutional and statutory, are.
in point of law, the same as those
which arose on the adoption of
the fifteenth article Of amendment
prohibiting discrimination on ac-
countof race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude, aud these ques-
tions have been too clearly and
well settled BY repeated decisions
of the Supreme Court of the Uni.
ted States to require decision.
Cites Opinions
In the case of Neal VS.. Della

Court Of the United States said:
The presumption should be in.
dulged. in the first instance. that

duty, an amendment of the feder-
al constitution, from the time Of
its adoDtion, As binding on all its

Amendment.

Women. of Louisiana will have
the right to register Immediately
upon the ratification of the suf-
fra9e amendment, and no other
law is needed on the subject, ac-
cording to the official opinion ex.
pressed Thursday morning by As
sistant Attorney General L. E.
Hall. in q letter to Registrar W.
w. Heard.
In the event the article of
amendment should be adopted, "
wrote Assistant Attorney-Gen
Hall, it will become your duty
at once and without further en-
abling legislation, to register all
applying women who possess
otherwise the qualifications pres
cribed by the constitution and
laws Of the state.

while it is true. as was said
by this court in United States VS..
Geese, 80 u. S. 124. that this ar.
ticle gives no affirmative right tn
the colored man to vote and is
designated primarily to prevent
discrimination against him wben-
ever the right to vote may be
granted to others. it is easy to see
that under some circumstances it
may operate as the immediate
source of right to vote. In all
cases where the former slave-hold-
ing states have not removed from
their constitution the word S
white man. as qualification for
voting, this provision did, in eff
feet, confer on him the right to
Vote, because being paramount to
the state law. and part of the
state law. it annulled the discrim-
mating word WHITE and thus
left him in the enjoyment of the
same right as white persons. In
all such cases this fifteenth article

DO YOU KNOW WHAT
IS The MATTER?
When You Feel Out of Sorts and
See Things with a Dull Eye.
LOOK TO YOUR BLOOD
Pale Compilations Languid Feelings,
Lowered Vitality, Need More Red
Blood. Take to-Mangan'

So many people spend week after
week feeling down and out. They
never stop to think that something
really is the matter. They satisfy
themselves by saying, ooh, I'm not
sick. I'll be all right tomorrow"
And tomorrow comes again and
again. Still they feel depressed and
languid, scarcely able to get around.
If you don't feel like yourself, you
are not yourself. If you are weak
and pale, your blood needs strength
ening. You should know about Pep
to-Mangan, that famous blood tonic.
Physicians recommend it and pre-
scribe it because it contains just the
ingredients needed to make red
blood. 1t renews your energy, puts
you where you ought to be. Begin
with it to-day. Get the tablets If
they will be more convenient to take
than the liquid. Both have the same
medicinal properties. Butbe sure you
get the genuine Pepto- Mangan. Ask
for Guides" and be sure that the
full name, Guides Pepto-Mangan,"
is on the package. Advertisement.

position of the Senatorial candidate
was on the league"
Declaring that he had asked audi

was a reply attempted, the Governor
continued:
To-day, in response to my ques-

Gov. Cox reiterated that as soon as
"humanly possible" after March 4,
