A dispatch from Indianapolis to The Times will be of Interest and a source cf disappointment as well to the women. Now that the state board of election commissioners have finally decided that women cannot vote at the primary May 4. for presidential candidates, it develops that women will not be ai'ile to vote for presidential eiecl-c-rs at the November election unless action is taken by the legislature. Although the commission did not base its opinion on the fict that no machinery was provided for women at the primary, they, nevertheless made the point that unless changes are made in the election? laws things would not ro smoothly- at the polls. Within the next few weeks the com. mlssinn will officially determine" J lxt what changes will be necessary and their proposals will be laid before the lc si slat u re in special session.
