The Minority Answer


To his Excellency Percival p. Baxter
Governor of Maine.
The undersigned, while arriving at
the same conclusion as the other JUS
tees of the Supreme Judicial Court
do not fully adopt the reasoning on
which the majority opinion is pre-
dicted.
The right to hold public office and
the right to vote for public officers
are distinct matters. The one is not
a corollary of the other. We do not
agree that the right to exercise the
elective franchise implies the right to
hold public office We, therefore, do
not accept the decision that granting
suffrage to woman in effect conferred
upon her the right to hold office.
When our Constitution was adopt
ed, the rule of the common law, as
that rule was recognized in the parent
commonwealth, authorized man only,
(using the word as descriptive of
seX), to hold public office. The Con-
stitution not otherwise providing, it
must be construed as then contem-
plating that, until otherwise provided
for by law, the offices which it men
tons were exclusively to be occupied
by male members of society, And this,
not for the reason of tceir right to
vote, but because from long estab-
lished custom and practice they, and
solely they, had performed such pub
lie duties. Aside from the require
ment of citizenship in this State and
wifi
cations regarding the office of Gov
ernor and that of members of the
Legislature, as well as a declaration
against official incompatibility, a pro-
vision for educational test, and op-
tional referendum, the Constitution
of Maine never has contained restric-
ton, either expressly or by necessary
implication, upon the power of the
Legislature to determine who may
hold office under this State.
The 10th Legislature, by an Act
passed August 81, 1920, on which a
referendum was not invoked, removed
woman's disability in respect to Of
flee holding. The Legislature might
have done so, had it seen fit, before
the adoption of the 10Th Amendment
to the United States Constitution.
That amendment forbids denial of
any state of the franchise to woman
on account of sex: and automatically
invested her with the right of suf-
frage in those states where before she
had not had it.
Adopting, as we do, the views set
forth in the dissenting opinion in CO
Maine 500, which views, as our as
sociates have said received unqual-
flied approval in Wright VS.. NOEL,

Italy would naturally ask the pre-

would ask that in case of cancelA-

any other nation the same treatment
be grnted her. Like the United
States, Italy entered the war without
being forced to do so by any aggres'
sion and while the nations that had
been attacked were in very difficult
straits, Italy got nothing out of the
war except her natural boundars
and such boundaries Ialy conquered

Italy has therefore, a political at.

He expressed confidence in the suc'

resumption of the formerly large and
important trade relations between "

country, which would be a fatcor N

ly held constitutional a woman's
right to hold certain offices for
which she had no power to vote, we
have discovered no case in which
her right to hold Office was denied
where she possessed the right to vote
therefor.
found in the eligibility of woman
as County Superintendent of Schools,
a constitutional office, although she
could not vote for an incumbent OF
that office. Huff V. Cook, "A Iowa,

County Treasurer. Opinion of Jus
tices, 62 Fla. L; State V. Quible, Sc
Neb. AT; and for Clerk of Court,
State " Hostetter, 1877 Mo. 636.
All these cases grant the right to
hold office even without the right to
vote. and that too before the passage
of the Federal Amendment and be-
fore the barrier to woman suffrage
was completely removed.
Since the passage of that Amend
ment, the legal effect of which we
have already explained in our ans
wer to question one, we have no hes
itation in saying that when author
lied by the Legislature, women are
not disqualified from holding any
public office whether elective or ap-
pointive and whether established by
the Constitution or by statute.
Every political distinction based upon
the consideration of sex was elm
mated from the Constitution by the
ratification of the amendment. Males
and females were thenceforth, when
citizens of the United States. priv
ileged to take equal hand in the con-
duct of government. 1t would be a
surprising outcome indeed if while
enjoying the privilege of voting and
of full citizenship they are still to
be deprived of the other and more re-
sponsible privilege of holding office,
o deprivation which could only be
remedied by the adoption of another
constitutional amendment, State or
Federal, expressly granting the right
to hold office
When the ballot was conferred
upon the colored race by the adop-
ton of the fifteenth amendment. it
is common knowledge that 1t was
! followed by the election of persons
of that race to office in various sec
tons throughout the southern states,
and we are unable to find that their
right to hold Office was ever ques-
! toned. 1t was accepted as a corol-
larry of their right to vote. There is
nothing in our State Constitution
expressly giving men the right to
hold office. 1t is silent on that point.
1t has been implied from their hav-
! ing the right to vote. Now that
women as well as men are qualified
| electors, the same implication fol-
lows respecting women.
| We therefore answer the second
and third questions in the negative,
| and hold that the Constitution of
Maine does not prevent the election
of women qualified in every respect
! other than SEX to fill civil offices to
which male citizens might be law
fully appointed or elected.
