Result Of Work Done Second
Day Of Campaign
More Than One Hundred Citizens
Get Behind the Project to
Get a New Hotel

Hockenbury System of Harrisburg,
Pa The fact that the workers who
were present were thoroughly con-
vinced of the Importance of this
movement, and of the desirability of
owning stock in the new hotel, was
best evidenced by the fact that they
together with the members of the
executive committee personally sub
scribed for $4,000 worth of stock in
the new hotel. r. G. Kern made an
announcement of unusual interest,
stating that he had just received a
communication from the State High
way Commission to the effect that
they would be ready at their next
meeting to receive bids for the i'm
provement of that portion of the Mid
land Trail leading from the Clark
county line to Mt. Sterling. Mr.. Kern
furher stated that this indicated that
this much desired improvement
would be made at comparatively
early date. This announcement was
received with applause. Among other
things this means that Mt. Sterling
is sure to be called upon in the near
future to entertain very largely in
creased numbers of automobile tour
lists.
The new hotel will enable Mt. Ster-
ling to discharge this responsibility
to her guests in creditable way.
it will mean business for
the hotel and dividends for the stock
holders.

Right of Woman
to Vote Does Not
Depend on Husband

Hon. William II. Fisher Of Augusta,
deputy attorney general, in an
opinion rendered Thursday says that
TO hold that a married women could
not acquire a voting residence sep
arate from her husband would re-
suit III a great inconvenience and
might in some cases deprive wom-
an Of a right which is now accorded
her by the constitution.
LAS / understand the situation the
woman in question is of voting age,
u citizen of the United States, a
resident of Maine and has lived for
at least three months in the town
in which she wishes TO vote, clam
ing that as her residence" says Dep
uty Attorney General Fisher in his
opinion.
Under such circumstances she is
a legal voter in such town, unless
the fact that she has husband
living out of the State, from whom
she has for years lived apart, de-
privcs her Of the right to vote in
Maine.
This is the question as l under
stand it and l am firmly of the
opinion that Notwithstanding the
husband out Of the State, she has
a right to vote in Maine.
Il find nothing in the law which
makes the voting residence OF a wife
depend upon that of her husband and
know of no reason why a wife liv-
ing apart from her husband should
be deprived of right to vote where
she has an established residence. So
far as the right Of voting is con-
cerned. husband and wife are sep
arate and distinct individuals. each
with the right to vote as he or she
sees fit and also, l believe where he
or she has legal residence.
"To hold that a married woman
could not acquire a voting residence
separate from her husband would
result in a great inconvenience and
might in some cases deprive a WON
an Of a right which is now accorded
her by the constitution.
Very Truly Yours,
(Sigued) WILLIAM H. FISHER
Deputy Attorney General"
