Fair Sex Not Eligible for

Oklahoma City. Okla. Feb. 20 R'-Women political leaders in Oklahoma are praying for a legal miracle the only thing apparently that can make them elegible as can- dtdAtss for major state offices at the election h November.
 One little word in tho state con- stitution--male--estons them from holding eight Of the most important offices; Governor, lieutenant gov ernor. attorney general. state treas usrer secretary of state. state audi tor. superintendent of instruction and state examiner and inspector.
 Two futile attempts have been made 10 remove the word from the constitution. The first. & referendum vote on an amendment. was believed for nearly two years to he success ful. The second, a popular petition asking for re-submission of the amendment 10 the voters, failed for lack Of signatures
 Women champions of the amend- ment have retained an attorney who is now brietinG the case in m at tempt 10 learn its status and If pos sihls to establish Its validity through judicial channels
 The amendment was adopted by a substantial majority when 1t was submitted at special election call ed by former Governor J. C. Walton in October, 1923. Tn August, 1925, Miss Una Lee Roberts. assistant secretary Of state, made the dis covcry that the constitution had not been changed. She hastily conferred with male state officials who in- formed her that the adoption had not been legal. Legislative resolu' tons submitting proposed constitu' tonal amendments 10 the people must be adopted by at least a two' thirds majority Of both houses. The women's amendment failed by few votes to receive this majority.
 Tho women did not take th' amendment into the courts becaus' the supreme court had declared void another amendment involving the same questions.
 They did, however attempt t bring it to q rcferndum vote agail by the circulation of petitions. Tn number of signatures required wa nearly so,00o and the effort failed
 Unless the proposed amendmen can be voted on in the August pri maries women candidates will b barred from running for major oi flces In the general election.
