MISSISSIPPI URGES
REGISTRATION Of
ALL ITS WOMEN.
Attorney General Frank Robertson
Gives Law Prohibiting Them
From Voting In General
Election in November.
WOMEN ARE ELIGIBLE TO REG
ISTER AND SHOULD DO SO.
Not Only Privilege But Duty for
the White Women fthe State
to Register in Order to Pro-
tect Best Interests.

Though they cannot vote in the
regular election in November, At
torney General Frank Robertson is
urging women to register in order to
qualify themselves for voting in case
of any future regulation or special
election. Mr.. Robertson authorized
the following statement for the status
of women:
women are now eligible to regis
ter, and should register at once If
they desire to qualify themselves for
voting in any future regular or spe-
cial election. They must be register
ed four months in advance of such
election in order to vote. Women who
register now are also qualified for
appointments as notaries public.
Women cannot legally vote in the
regular election next November. To
permit them to do so would annul that
election and almost certainly result
in throwing out Mississippi's electoral
vote. Moreover, the voting of wo-
men in the November election could
accomplish no good, as the election
certainly will go Democratic without
their vote.'
Attorney General Robertson urges
the Importance of women registering
at once The white women of the
State must recognize that it is not
only privilege, but duty to regis
ter and qualify themselves in order to
protect the interests and ideals for
which men have made so many sacri-
fees to obtain and hold.
