URGE GOVERNOR TO CALL
LEGISLATURE IN SESSION
Continued from Paff« On*
resolution was adopted calling on the
Governor to submit the matter should
ratification take place.
In the event Governor Hobby should call
a special session for the purpose every
member of the Legislature from Bexar
County will vote to open up the August -S
primary to women.
K. H. Lange and W. A Black say they
wroold vot»- for an opportunity to WOOtMl
to pay poll taxes before August J* The
other members of the House and Senator
Harry Hertxherg have merely announced
that they favor providing that the women
mn vote, without detailing the procedure
W. A. Black says it is now his opinion he
would not favor giving women th«* vote
without oaying the same tax as others, but
that in view of the fact that the> now have
suffrage he would favor giving therti a spe-
cial opportunity to qualify lor the primary.
Charles M. Dickson "f this city, who
made h clone study of the entire poll tax
question in connection with the proceed
lugs by which the right of soldiers to vote
without poll tax was established, said yes-
terday following the Tennessee action:
"It is a matter of common knowledge
that very few women in Texas have paid
Iheir poll tnies due to the fact that they
have only had the right to vote in primary
elections, and even this limited right of
suffrage was not definitely established un
til the Supreme Court ot Texas rendered its
decision in the ease ot «\>y vs Schneider
Tax Coll., U18 S W. 4?.». This decision
was not made until January US, 1ITJO, only
three days before the closing of the poll
tax rolls, and did not become final until
alter February 1, when the motion for a
rehearing was overruled.
"In view of these facts and now that the
Woman b Suffrage Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the I'nited States has been
adopted, it would be an unpardonable out-
rage to deny the women of Texas the right
to vote In the run-off primary to be held
August UN.
"The Nineteenth Amendment to the Fed-
eral Constitution reads as follows:
•• 'The right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the I nlted States or by uuy
State on account of sex.'
The women of the State couM never un-
derstand how they »;d» lawfully be de
prived of the right to vote in the election
to be held on August when the Nine
teeuth Amendment to the Federal Consti-
tution says that her right to vote shall not
be denied or abridged b> the I'nited States
or by any state on account of sex.
"1, for one. believe that all women of
Texas possesing the qualifications uf elec-
tors under tjie Constitution will vote in
the election to be held August -s. eveU
though it is necessary to hold a special
session of the Legislature before that time.
The State Ucuio. ratic convention held at
Dallas a short while ago adopted a resolu-
tion requesting the Governor of the State,
in the event of a final ratification of the
, Woman's Suffrage Amendment, to submit
to the Legislature the matter of prescrib-
ing regulations for women voting in the
primary and in the November general elec-
tion. No doubt everyone will consider it
advisable to have a special session of the
Legislature before the November election.
Therefore no good argument can be otfered
why it should not be held immediately and
1 provision made for women to vote in the
election of August 28, as well as in the
November general election.
"There is no legal obstacle to prevent
i this, as the Constitution of, Texas does not
I levy a poll tax on women If they are re-
quired to pay a poll tax the Legislature
may permit the women to pay poll taxes
at any time it deems proper. The Legisla-
ture can eliminate altogether the necessity
of women paying poll tax or it could
provide that the poll tax rolls be opened
and women be permitted to pay their
poll taxes immediately.
"Another reason why it i> advisable to
convene a special session of the Legisla-
ture immediately is that it is not at all
certain but what the law, since the adop
tion of the Federal Woman's Suffrage
Amendment, gives to women the right t>
participate in the primary to be held on
the -Sth. even though they have not paid
a poll tax, and unless the Legislature acts
the matter will, in all probability, betaken
into the courts and in some counties the
women will be permitted to vote without
paying poll taxes, while in other counties
thev might be denied the right."
Two passable courses giving the women
. a vote on August 2* are open to the Texas
| Legislature, if Governor Hobby should call
a special session to act in the matter. Th**
i Legislature could substitute for the poll
' tax payment l>y women a provision that
they may vote upon registration within a
specified period before the primary, or it
could reopen the poll lax payment time
for women on and let those who pay be-
fore August -S vote as well as 'those who
paid before February 1.

As to the November general election If
Tennessee's ratification is made complete,
the anomalous condition will 4*xiat, that
while all women of age may vote, ouly men
who paid poll taxes uiay do so.
The situation arites because the Texas
Constitution provides that any voter who
is subject to pay a poll tax under the
laws of the State shall have paid sue!)
tax before he offers to vote. A poll tay
has been levied on all male* oyer "J1 and
under GO but none has ben levied agaiust
women. The poll tax women pay la not
one levied against women but merely one
paid under the Statute which provides that
they may vote by paying it The differ-
ence was t learlv established in the a«'t for
a year ago under ir. they were given the
vote on registration without payment.
Still another possibility is offered by
the situation. The Legislature might de-
cide that women having the right to vote
in November without poll taxes. men
should have tb» same privilege. The point
ims been miaou thai the male pall tai i-s
a constitutional matter and could not be
varied' by the Legislature. Inspection of
the article, however, shows that the con-
stitutional revision is merely against a
person offering to vote who has not paid
a poll tax that 1s due If the Legislature
should relinquish the poll tax, uoue would
be due uud men could vote.
Locally the ratifi' ation opens up elec-
tions to women. While women may serve
on tlie school hoard, heretofore they have
had no right to vote for hoard members.

Suffragists clamored lor recognition while
a chorus of "second the motion" came
from the autin. Mr. Uve^tou. however, re-
fused to recognize anyone aud ordered the

The stand of the members was un-
changed as the clerk ran down the list
until the name of Representative B. 1 .

reached. Mr. Turner passed, and instant-
ly there was a shout of satisfaction from
the autls. He- had voted agaiust the mo-
tion to table and his failure to vote ou
ratification balanced the loss incurred
through Mr. Burn s vote for the amend
ment. The pleasure experienced by the
autis was short, however, for Mr. turner
sembly. The feeling that more than half
a centi:ry of contest had brought the wom-
en of America to th« greatest achievement
of their history was expressed in all state-
ments made by the suffrage leaders of the
city and plans were begun with the first
me sage of victory for an appropriate
celebration last night. With the news,
which came Tate in the afternoon, that a
resolution to reconsider action on the suff-
rage aim ml ment had been passed in the
Tennesse House of Representatives, mak-
ing doubtful the earlier vote, it was de- :«««*•■ ,,u,, po

While the Louisiana legislature was
considering the question, appeals f«r
planks favorable to suffrage were made lo
both the Republican and Democratic con-
ventions aud the Republican convention
was picketed by representatives of the
Woman'* l'arty. Suffrage planks were in-
serted in both platforms.
After the Republican convention ad-
journed. the women turned their attention
to Vermont, making an effort to have
Governor Clement call a social session of
the Legislature. All appeal was made to
Senator Harding to use his Influence with
the Governor, but the Scpator declined,
faying he could not interfere with the
executive.

Shortly afterward I'residenU Wilson ap-
pealed to Governor Bickett of North t ar-»
lina and Governor Roberts of Tennessee
to call special sessions of their State Leg-
islatures, ynd ihay consented, ^Governor
Roberts acting after Solicitor General
Frierson had ruled that the Supreme Court
decision ou the Ohio referendum ease get
at naught a provision in the Tennessee
Constitution that u Legislature could not

members were elected after the amendment
was submitted.
While this was going on Governor Cle-
ment came to Washington to confer with
Senator Harding and hopes ran high In
suffrage quarters that after all, a special
session of the Vermont Legislature would
be called, Cpon his return to his home,
however, Governor Clement announced
that he would not call a special session
and proponents of the amendment turned
their attention to Tennessee and North
Carolina us the last hope for ratification
in time for the women to vote in Novem-
ber.
The Tennessee Legislature met August
and the North Carolina Assembly con-
vened on the following day. The 1 enure-
see Senate acted within less than a week,
or on the day al'tivr Governor Bickett sub-
mitted the amendment to the North Caro-
lina Assembly.
Before either of the Legislatures of the
two Southern States could act, Charles S.
Fairchlld, New York, president of the
American Constitutional League, brought
proceedings in the District of Columbia
supreme Court asking that Bsinbrldge
Colby, Secretary of State, be enjoined from
issuing a proclamation declaring the
amendment ratified.
The baaiN of the suit was the allegation
that ratification by West Virginia was ac-
complished by fraud and that any action
by Tennessee would be void, on the ground
that the Legislature lacked authority un
der the Constitution to act.
Justice Bailey dismissed the proceed-
ings on the ground that the court was
without authority to enquire into the
State Legislatures ratifying thu amend-
ment.
Further efforts of opponents, through
court action to prevent the amendment be-
coming effective are expected.

met, suffrage and null-suffrage forces

fights. President Wilson, Governor Cox

HOBBY WILL WAIT RESULTS.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AFST1N. Tex., Aug. 18.—Governor Hob-
by was asked today if he would call a
special session of the Legislature to give
the women the vote without a poll tax
receipt in the run-off primary of the Dem-
ocratic party on August 2H.
Governor Hobby declined to answer the
question, saying that It was a matter not
to be considered until final action was
taken by the Tennessee House, there being
yet a motion to reconsider pending liefore
that body. The Governor did not say he
would call a special session or that he
would not convene the Legislature in ex-
traordinary session.
"I will await official news of the Ten
nessee Legislature's action on the motion
to reconsider the vote by which suffrage
amendment was ratified," said Governor
Ilobby.
There was considerable speculation in th -
Texas Capital as to whether or not there
i^ to It a special session, and in some
quarters opinion was expressed that .i
special session was likely. There was also
din utiswd the question whether the Gov
• rt.or would, in the event a special session
was called, submit the subject of repeal
of all poll tax provisions so me", as well
as women, can vote without poll tax re-
ceipts In the November general election.
It was pointed out by a State official
that this question was not one for legisla-
tive enactment, because lr was a const!
tutional Provision. It would have to be
submitted to n vote of the people In the
form of an amendment to the Constitution.
Governor llobbv was highly elated over
the news of ratification by the Tenn°sse"
I>gislature. "I am deeply gratified b,
cj use Tennessee has followed the e\jitnple
of Texas and latifinl the Nineteenth
Amendment." said the Governor. "It Is an
epoch in tin- world's progress end meni.s
th it the women of the Nation are, for the
1»rst time, in full possession of the rt«!il
they have earned, and the privilege tin \
will exercise for tho betterment of each
and every State aud the Nation us a

From Habit or Proof ?
IS IT YOUR CUSTOM to buy the same make
of car year after year without investigation ? Do
you think that's treating yourself right? Wouldn't
you be better satisfied with your car if, after
investigating other good makes, you were re-
assured that you had actually chosen the finest,
the most advanced ?
We do not want anybody to buy a Winton Six
from habit. We do want every Winton Six
buyer to buy because he is convinced that he is
securing a car that takes off its hat to no other
make anywhere under any condition.
That's a big statement. We make it becaiwe we
are ready to prove it to your satisfaction, at your
convenience. Simply telephone.
