Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 8.-Mrs. Mary
C. McClendon, a pioneer suffragist
in Georgia, telegraphed a protest to-
night to Secretary Of State Colby,
because she, in common with other
Georgia women was denied the priv
ilege of voting in today's statewide
Democratic primary.
Women were not permitted today
under ruling of the subcommittee
of the state Democratic executive
committee. 1t was he! that the law
requires registration six months be-
fore an election to make person
eligible to vote in primary to nonai-
nate candidates for that election.
Mrs. MeLendon, after hearing at
the polling booth in the ward in which
she resides here, telegraphed Secre-s
tary Colby as follows:
81 have demanded ballot at proper
voting place in this city today and
have been refused the right to vote
on account of sex. Am qualified to
vote under the 18th amendment.
Please give instructions.
Women in other sections Of the
state also appeared at the polls and
demanded the privilege Of voting, but
were refused, according to reports
here.
