SOIVIE COUNT ES WILL BALLOT ON I. Will Save Members From Being- Lobbied to Death. UNION WILL DO IT Charges Against A. & E. Student Dismissed. Witnesses Were Produced Who Testi fied That Wood Was on Class, and It Was Derided to Drop the Matter. (By Max D. Abernethy.) Raleigh, May 15. As a means of jearning whether the action of tho State Democratic convention in April, which carried a resolution urging the ratification by the sneral assembly of the Susan B. Anthony federal suffrage amendment, rightly expressed the wishes of the majority of the voters of North Carolina it is now being sug gested by some that ballot boxes be provided 'at the June primary where ballots for or against the suffrage amendment may be deposited. ' There is no general move being made at this time for carrying out the plan but it is being frequently discussed, and the plan as suggested . will be followed in Union county. Rep- resentative Redwme, of Union, who voted against suffrage two years ago at. the regular session of the legis lature and who has stated that he was of the opinion that he represented the wishes of lus constituents, sponsored the idea of taking a ballot on suf frage June 5, ad he will be governed by the result of the ballot. , "It is strange to me that the action of the Democratic executive commit tee of Union county in providing means for finding how the voters stand on the federal suffrage amend ment has not been followed by all counties In the state," declared a well known citizen here today. "It geems to me that every member of the gen- . eral assembly would fall In line on that proposition," he continued, "and save being lobbied to death and cause the sidetracking of other matters of vital Irnportance lit the special session in July. For unless the members of the legislature get definite -instruc- tions from their constituents at the primary they will be bullyragged and be-deviled to death at that session by one side or the other, or by both. , "On the other hand Just let the vot. ers indicate in each county how their representatives shall vote on the pro-' position and no time will be lost, no lobbying necessary, the result will be known by June 8 or 9 and the people will have been given their only oppor- tunity of being heaid in the matter. Otftainly those counties that were cast solidly for woman suffrage at the state convention would not fear the result, and those otherwise should be glad of giving : their people a chance to a popular rebuke or ap proval." " This citizen pointed out that a num ber of counties were voted solidly for suffrage at the State convention "when everybody knows they were outrageously misrepresented." As evi- . dence he mentioned the counties of Edgecombe, Guilford, Surm Rocking ham, Caswell, Alamance, Montgomery, and Union which were cast solid for th ratification of the federal amend ment when in reality it is known that . the vote did not represent the wishes . of the voters in the counties named. At least one county's delegation at the convention was voted solidly against suffrage while one or more , delegates from that county tried to represent to the speaker that the vote was not as they would have it, but were prevented from tioing so because 1 AliMEN of the confusion on all sides. The vote from the county in question was r.ever changed and was recorded as solidly against suffrage. , " The plan as outlined may be fol lowed should the voters elect but the result will be only for the informs-. tion of those interested In suffrage, that is. it will not be a legalized pri mary ballot. As a means of finding out whether the majority of the vot- , ' ers are in favor of or are opposed to ' suffrage by federal amendment the plan would be worth while. To Remain in College. ' Sidney -Wood, of Asheboro, a stu dent at the State College of Agricul ture and Engineering, who was charg ed with having made a misstatement as to being on class of March 30 and who was at first asked to quit the col lege, will be allowed to remain, the charee having been dismissed by. the . faculty. . - i- When' the matter was brought to the attention of the discipIinecom mittee Wood was asked to -resign. This brought a storm of protest from his fellow students and it was rumor- ' ed that 'Ultimatum" had been sent to the faculty making it plain that unless he was reinstated a . general strike would follow. This was denied by a member of the senior class, how ever. After young Wood's case was reopened witnesses were produced who testified that he was not absent from cfass as charared by the mem ber of the faculty, and it was decided . to drop the charge.
