ON LEGISLATIVE ACT

WASHINGTON. April 22.-Whether
the suffrage amendment will be de-
clared ratified In time to give all wo-
men citizens fun voting rights in the
election of November virtually hinges
on action of the United States supreme

estimate that if the courts action is
what they consider favorable 10000
600 women will be eligible to vote at
the next election. The case is an ap-
peal from the Ohio supreme court to
determine whether the legislature of
that state can ratify the amendment

submitting it to referendum. The
Ohio supreme court held that ratifica-
ton is not complete pntil the peonle
