STUFF BALLOT
BEING WATCHED
County Auditor r. A. Gardner vitality
interested Because of the law
Provisions That Must Be
Followed Out

There is one mere man. in Lee
county who is much interested in the
effort of the states of Tennessee and
North Carolina to pass the resolution
which will give universal suffrage to
American women. He is Robert A.
Gardner, county auditor at Fort Madi-
son.
Mr.. Gardner has several reasons for
being interested. AS the law stands
now the women of Keokuk and Lee
county will vote only for presidential
and vice presidential electors. If
the suffrage amendment is passed,
however, before election time, or be-
fore the time for the publication of
the ballot, the women will vote on
all officers, national, state and county.
And then, according to the Fort
Madison Democrat there is another
rub, and here is the Democrats ex-
position of this:
Although Bob" is personally anx-
ious that the suffrage amendment
passes, the fact that it's passage will
mean that every woman must
disclose that carefully guarded secret
her age, before she can vote, is a mat
ter that is giving Bob no little trou-
BILE. This all momentous question,
has been battling Bob" for some time
and although he has sought the advice
of o. r. Johnston, clerk of the court,
Casey" Hamilton, the county attor-
ney and other court house officials,

Tried for Draft Evasion He
Only Serves 2 Out Of IS

CHICAGO. July S0--Widespread pro-
tests were heard here today from men
who fought in France against the re-
lease from Leavonworth penitentiary
OF Brent Dow Allison. the De Luxe
obtector. whose case in 1918 attracted
nationwide attention. Allison has
served about two years OF his sentence
which originally was from p years to
life imprisonment.
When arrested. Allison was en- route

clerkship in an American consulate In
Switzerland He was tried for draft
evasion and given from % years 10
life. His sentence was later cut TO
is years and still later to five years.

lison." declared Col. Milton J Fore
man. who commanded the 149th field
artillery. TT puts a premium on
Slackerism.
Brig. Gen. Abel Davis was vigorous
in his criticism OF Allison's pardon.
while the blood of Americans was
being spilled in order that America
might never experience the yoke or
Germanism. Brent Dow Allison was
preaching a doctrine which ultimately
would have affected their morale The
law should take its course regardless
Of politics.
