Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, September Gov
Richie has asked the attorney gen
eral Of Maryland to construe the
declaration Of intent act OF 1902 in its
application to woman voters. In a
letter to Attorney General Armstrong,
Gov. Ritchie prefaces his request by
a statement Of his own view that the
law In question does not apply to the
registration of women. He concludes
by asking whether the attorney gen
eral concurs in this opinion.
The governor points out the neces.
sity of ruling as the first registra-
ton day in Baltimore is September
II, while the special session of the
legislature will not convene till one
day before this date.
The republicans have officially de-
clared for the repeal Of the declara.
sion.
The governors letter to the attorney
general says:
II have been considering the cues.
ton whether sections %, 3, 2sA Of
the election laws, embodying the am.
dayit OF removal act and the declara.
ton OF intention act, will apply to the
registration of women this fail.
The extra session of the Legislature
Will be called to meet on Monday
September 20, and Tuesday, September
Il, is the first registration day fol
Baltimore city. Therefore, even
: though the extra session passes legis.
lation clarifying the question, it will
nevertheless, be necessary to have Al
passed upon, because no legislation
could be enacted prior to the Septem-
Der 81 registration.
My. own view is that the law IN
question does not apply to the regis
tratfon OF women this fall. / thinl
that the word persons as used in tn,
acts applies to persons entitled b,
law to register and vote and that tn,
acts were not intended to apply. and
therefore, should not be construed a.
applying. to acts OF voters enfran
could not have complied with thei
provisions before enfranchisement
particularly when to construe tn,
acts as applicable to the women thi
fall would be to deny many Of then
the right Of suffrage granted by tn,
nineteenth amendment to the Consti
tuition of the United States.
Il will be very much obliged II yor
will let me know whether you ti1inl
this construction Of the law correc
or not, because I want the question
settled by your department and you
opinion followed. / will be very muc]
obliged also If you will advise tn,
board Of election supervisors of Bal
timore city, as well as myself, wha
Your opinion may be, in order that tn,
board may comply with it at the reg
istration on September 21."

Got Santa Claus on Phone.

One youngster in indianapolis Is
convinced that there really is Santa
Claus. A telephone operator was
startled one day to hear small voice
say in answer to Number, please?"
"Hello, want Santa Claus!'
Telephone girls are quick-witted,
and the girl who got the request
switched the owner of the small
voice to her home, where sister, as
one of the clerks for Santa Claus &
Co., gravely took down an order for
divers and sundry presents, with the
admonition that owing to the large
number of little boys and girls in the
world, perhaps 1t would not be pos
sible to fill the order "as is." But 1t
is safe to say that some of the order
was filled by Santa.
