"To strengthen the governments in their desir? to iisarci by plvfns uncqulvtcal expression of the' women of the world." is the purpose of the demonstration.

According to the complete but unolhcial nturns from the o,:Sl precincts In this state, 211,1)17 votes were east for amendment No. 1. which proved to be the most popular pnposal in the special election on constitutional amendments. This number Is slightly less than 17 pr cent of the tjtal vote for governor at the election last fall. The unofficial figures show that the electors ratified the citizenship amendment by a majority of oS.iMl, and rejoeted tb' other twelve prposed changes in the constitution by majorities ranging frun l'J,2oS on the registration ppjposal to 1215,817 on the general tax amendment.

Legal Opinion to Dc Asked. The. exact effect of the adoption of amendment No. 1 and th rejection f No. 2, n the registration law, prob ably will not be determine! until som; otlicial legal opihion is demanded on the question. (leorge O. Ilutsell, Indianapolis city clerk, announced that he vjuhl call Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel, for an opinion on the subject. Mr. Ilutsell said he had consulted several attorneys and th'lr opinions Hffore!, but most of them believed the registration law would not be Invalidated by tlie adoption of amendment No. 1. Mr. Ilutsell proceeded with plans for the first registration day regardless of any possible enVet the adoption ot amendment No. 1 might have on the registration Iaw It has been pointed out by U. is. Lesh, attorney general of Indiana, that another section of the constitution gives the general assembly authority t enact registration laws, and for that reason the elimination of referene to r'gistration in article 2, .action 2 of the constitution, by tlie adoption of amendment No. 1, will in no way aflect the registration laws. This view, however, is not an official opinion. Section 14, article 2 of the constitution, referring to registration, says: And shall also provide for the registration of all persons entitled to Tote." This seethm was not a!terel by tlu adoption of amendment No. 1. May Weaken Law. Article 2, .section 2 of the present constitution, which was amend'd by the aloptlon of amendment No. 1, establlshes who shall be pcriultteil to vote and ends with the . following words: "If he shall be tiuly registered according to law." In the adoption of amendment No. 1, enfranchising women and prhibltIng aliens from voting until naturalizel, this condition, "if he shall be duly registered according to law," Is omitted. The question has been raled whether the elimination of this clause from the constitution will operate to weaken or invalidate the registration law, notwithstanding the reference to registration made in another section, by making it unlawful to deny a citizen the ballot even though lie has not register'd. If he has complhil with tin? other qualifications necesary to exercise the right of franchise. In an address at Kokomo before the Lions club C. C. .Shirley, an attorney of that city and known a.s an authority on the state constitution, said that lUj eh'ethm was only a skirmish in the real battle to come. Personal Element Lacking. "If the '!ction had bevii for the purpose of picking a county sheriff," tu said, "or something of a more personal nature, ail the people of indiana woubl have gone to the polls. As it was, tin proposition of making changes to our instrument of government attracted comparatively little attention. The bnllot of those who lil go to the polls, however, shows that they were keenly aware of the dangerous amendments hidden among the thirteen voteU on."
