PRIMARIES OPEN TO WOMEN IN THIS STATE

Indianapolis, March 26.—Women in Indiana have the right to vote for president in the presidential preference primary May 4, according to Ele Stansbury, attorney general. Mr. Stansbury said that he was not requested for an official opinion on the subject, but that his private opinion is that the women under the Indiana law have the right to vote the same as the men for the presidential electors as well as to express their choice in the selection of the candidate. Women were given the right to vote for presidential electors by the legislature in 1919.. The act makes no reference to the primary, but does set out regulations for .the registration of women and provide* for separate ballot 'boxes at tiie election.
