DOES HER WASHING THOUGH HUSBAND'S $7,500 - A - YEAR MAN
Indiana Women Now Can
Vote Only for President Just what Is the Indiana woman's
voting status at present is still a question in the minds of some citizens according to inquiries. A brief state
ment of the situation follows:
Indiana women are at the present
time empowered to vote for pre si
dential electors only. Ten more
states must ratify the national suf
frage amendment before the primar
ies next May, if women are to be enfranchised to vote for everything on
the ticket.
That this will happen is very doubt-
il. . Tho ratification by Indiana's legislature of the 17 amendments did not
increase the voting power of Indiana women in the least, but was merely the achievement of one additional state in the two-thirds necessary to ratify the national amendment. Two years ago a law was passed in Indiana giving women power to vote fpr all officers except those named in the constitution. This law was afterwards declared constitutional, how ever, and Is now null and void.
