The question is being asked nearly < every day why the legislature gave women the right to vote on county of ficers and not on state officers nor county judges. The reason is that the j legislature did not have the power to I grant them the right. The office of i county jndge was created by the con I stitution of the state, and the legis I lature has not the power to change it. | Certain offices were created by the constitution and nothing but a direct t vote of the people can change them. I Under the new law the women will j have the right to vote for anv office I created by the legislature.
