CV7FRAGE BRINGS UP ELECTION QUESTION IN THIS STATE ___ T. P. Cothran Raises Striking Point in Letter To Governor | Cooper ' I Whether or not a. valid election is , * f to be held in South-Carolina in November in the event the woman suffrage amendment to the Federal' I Constitution is ratified is the ques-1 - i-j.*?I tion raised in an interesting ?nei * from T. P. Cothran, chairman of the State democratic executive committee, to Governor Robert A. Cooper, made public today. Chairman Cothran suggests the possibility of holding an invalid election?^nd if such an election should result, South Carolina's electoral vote Vould not be counted in the election of president and other federal omcers. 1U1". tuuuau ?> icirei in v>o follows: July 9, 1920. Hon. R. A. Cooper, Columbia, S. C. Dear Governor: Permit me to suggest for your consideration the political situation which would arise upon the ratifi1 cation of the 19th amendment to the Constitution of /the United Sates relating to woman suffrage, in order that you may be prepared to act should it arise. It seems highly, probable that Vermont, North Carolina or Ten-j 1 Abbeville Coca-C< I Phone 195-B I nessee may ratify the amendment I before the general election in No- J vember is held. If this should occur j the proclamation of its ratification would be immediately made and the amendment will take effect. We will then have a system of elec- | tion laws in conflict with the Con- j stitution of the United States and neither our constitution nor our statutes can stand i'l such conflict, j The proposed amendment reads thus: ' "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United Sates or by any state on account of sex." ' The conflict between our laws and the Federal Constitution , of course, may exist as readily wnere | our laws are passed in conflict ^ with | existing provisions of the Federal ( Constitution as where our laws are | valid when enacted but become in conflict with a federal amendment subsequently ratified. The question arose in my mind whether or not, under these circumstances, yre could hold a valid elec-j tion under laWs in conflict with the j federal amendment. If this could1 1 not be done and political conse-j quences, as you readily perceive, j would be disastrous. The election ! for United States senator, for con-1 gressmen and for presidential electors would be annulled and is'it possible that we would have a Republican president. The only remedy, therefore, would be the calling of j an extra session of the general as-j sembly to conform our election laws to the new order of things. My fears have been very much composed by the case of Neal vs. i Delaware, 103 U. S. 370, where it is J held that the adoption of the 15th I amendment rendered inoperative the provision in the then existing constitution: of Delaware which limited the Vight of suffrage to white men. Following this principle, everything in our constitution and registry and election laws, limiting | the right of suffrage to males would instantly become inoperative. But under our laws no one can vote I without registration. This will apply to women, under the new order of things, as well as to men. The time for registration is limited to the first 15 days in August and the 6tH, 7th and 8th days of September. If instructions to the supervisors of registration should be issued directing them to permit women to re- j gister during those periods, en-: titling them to vote in the general j election in November, it is my opinion that we will have done all' - - . . i that was possible and that the, elec-1 tion would be valid. j I suggest that you give this letter o the press, that the matter may re- j ceive full consideration and that we; all may have the benefit of opinions of best informed men.
