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.
Yours truly,
T. P. Cothran,
State Chairman,
Democratic Executive Committee.!
