WOMEN ARE NOT QUALIFIED

Election Board Rules on Other Disputed Questions. Formal rulings have /been Issued by the state board of election commissioners on a number of points raised in connection with the coming elections. They are: Women may not be delegates to the state conventions. They m(ay not be candidates for county office. They are not electors, and, therefore, are not qualified for the places. When a precinct has been divided and there is no declaration of candidacy by a person within the new precinct the county committee shall appoint a candidate. All township officers appointed to fill vacancies shall serve until the 1922 election, because there are no township elections this year. Names of candidates for president, vice-president and state offices are to be placed on ballots, even if they have no opposition. Where there is only one candidate for nomination in any subdivision of the state, the election commission shall certify the name of such candidate as though nominated. The “next preceding election" provision of the 1913 corrupt practices act is determined to be the 1916 election for all four-year offices, and the 1918 election for all two-year offices.
