Foreword
^T'HE National Woman Suffrage Publishing Co., Inc. in offer- A ing to its public this digest of the laws of the various states re¬ lating to matters of greatest interest to women, wishes to state that its purpose is to give the Suffrage workers and speakers a ready reference book containing a general statement of the statutory law of the various states, relating to the particular subjects covered by the book, in such form that the laws of the various states may be quickly grasped and compared.
This book has been prepared by our editor, Mrs. Annie G. Porritt, with the greatest care and we believe the book to be an accurate statement, in condensed form, of the statutory law of the various states at the present time upon the subjects which it pur¬ ports to cover. The book, however, is not a law treatise, and it has been thought not only impossible, but undesirable, to go into the various questions arising under the different statutes, relating to their interpretation and enforcement. Whenever there is any doubt, the careful student should consult the statutes and the decisions of the courts.
With this warning against relying upon this book except as the statement of the general statutory law, we trust that it may be found of use to a large number of workers who need in their speaking or writing, such general, comparative statements of the laws of the various states as are here contained.
