than such as may be found in the
law pertaining to registration. In
Portland, for instance. it is said that
will be impossible for the women to
vote and it is thought a special ses-
sion Of the Legislature may be called
to pass an emergency measure which
will SO far as possible correct this.
The limitations of time and
capacity may render it impossible for
all the women to get registered, but
if there be any opposition to making
every effort for providing ways and
means such opposition has not mani
tested itself. Indeed all of whom in
CURRY was made expressed the
opinion that woman suffrage is now
a fact, assuming no constitutional!
question will arise in Tennessee, Or
will be when it shall have been an
nounced by the national Secretary Of
State, and that the authorities are
legally and morally obligated to COM
ply with the requirements, difficult
though they be, what with election
coming in twenty-five days including
Sundays and holidays.
of course You know I am de-
lighted" said Frank G. harrington,
who is considered assured Of cleo
ton to the State Senate this fall. Il
never had to be converted to woman
suffrage, as I've always believed in
it. Nothing should be overlooked to
provide way for the women to vote
at the coming election"
Judge b. F. Maher, whom Repub-
licans expect to duplicate his excel
lent work in the last House, said:
THE extension of universal suffrage
to women is. Of course, one of the
great outstanding events in the de-
velopment of free government.
THE providing Of every facility
and aid to the full and free exercise
thereof Is now the prime duty.
IF there is any question of legal
obstacle or practical inconvenience
standing in the way, or preventing,
any eligible woman wishing to regis
ter for the impending election the
situation warrants and demands the
calling Of special session of the
Legislature Immediately. and the i'm
mediate passage of All emergency
measure to the end that all may reg
lister who desire in ample season to
cast their. first ballot September Is
next"
Blaine Niles was found rejoicing
over the bulletin from Tennessee.
We don't want to delay a moment
in getting ready for women to vote
September 49, and all necessary steps
should be taken at once. BY the way,
Augusta is going to celebrate the
event at Island Park, next Satur-
day"
