INELIGIBILITY OF J1ISS RANKIN
To Iho jSdito'r of the Rvcntng Ledger:
Sir I do not wish to turn tho rejoicing
of tlio feminists Into bitter woe. but I wish
10 remind them that It will tulto morn than
tho Votes of the Montana electors to Heat
MIxh ltttuklli In tho national Ilbiiso of Hep
rescntntlvcs. -
Miss Itatikln Is n woman. ACeorillng to
thd Bceonrt paragratilt of tho iiefcond Section
of tho first 111 tlolo of tho Constltutlnn,
"No person Shall ho .d IUprcsenhltlve tvhd
Bliall not hrtvo attained thn ago of twenty
llvo years, rttid heen seven years a citizen
of tho I'ulted States, ntid who shall not,
when clebted. ho nn Inhabitant of that
State lit which he shall ho chosen."
TUB significant word in this paragraph
Is the personal pronoun "he" In thb last
clause, if iny menlbry serves me, tho lata
Kimrtii H. Anthony tried to vote beveriil
times In tile State of New York, oh tlio
ground that 1.I10 was a clllzcti. but tho
courts hbid that the use of thd word "ho" In
the Irtws and the Constitution when refer
ence was mdda tb voters meant that only
men could votii. Tho only way to give tlio
ffUitchls'e to wnlhelt is tn ntnclul the mascu
line pronoun from tho State laws and con
stitutions. It is preposterous tn assume that tha
voters of Jlohtitna, by electing a woman to
Congress, can Hiuh niiirnd tlio mSKcnilno
tirohoUh from the l-'eileral Constitution. It
day be argued that the IIoiibo Is the juilga
