WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE Virginia State Library THE RICHMOND PLANET SUFFRAGE FOES WAT Tennessee Speaker Fails to Put Motion to Reconsider. House Members Supporting Rattification Privileged to Call Up Walker Proposal—Confident of Ability to Table or Defeat It. Antis Beaten in Attempt to Adjourn to Monday. Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 20.—Suffragists tonight regarded any attempt on the opposition to force the tower house of Tennessee legislature to reconsider its action in ratifying the two man surrange amendment as hopeless and leaders were claiming that tomorrow would see the last obstacle to certification of the measure to Washington swept away. The only thing that stood in the way of a cleanout victory tonight was the Walker motion to reconsider which was recorded on the house journal last Wednesday, Speaker Seth Walk er opposition leader changed his vote Wednesday from "nay" to "aye," no two roll call to adopt the ratification Wednesday from "nay" to "aye" on mevo reconsideration and have the sole privilege of calling it from the journal during the next two legislative d ys. FINAL ACTION COMES TODAY His time limit expired today, and with his failure to act any member who voted "aye" on ratification now has the privilege of calling it up. This, the suffrage leaders announced they intended to do tomorrow and they planned either to table it or to defeat it by a negative vote. Attorney General Thompson and other parliamentarians hold that Speaker Walkers' failure to act to day settled the question of reconsideration and that the resolution now was ready for engrossing and certification to Washington. Others, however, in clandestine leading suffragists, maintained that the motion stood on the journal as a matter of record to remove all doubt it must be disposed of. Is was with this object in view that the suffragists today by a vote of 49 to 47, defeated a motion of the op position to adjourn until Monday afternoon for the usual week-end recess and forced adjournment only until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Seldom in recent years has either house of the legislature held a session on Saturday. Action on the Walker motion was planned as soon as the order of business would permit. UNCERTAIN OF HIS GROUND. Mr. Walker last night declared he had enough votes pledged to force consideration today and have the House rescind its action in ratifying the amendment. But when an opposition leader moved adjournment until Monday it was taken as an indication that the speaker was not sure of his ground and defeat of the motion by the same majority east for ratification Wednesday before he changed his own vote to "aye" confirmed this supposition. Walker, however, still had a chance to win on the vote planned tomorrow on his motion for reconsideration should be persuaded at least two suffragists to desert their leaders. Since he is recorded as voting "aye" he could himself call the motion from the journal and after its adoption moved that the house reverse itself on ratification. Suffragists, however, did not fear a break in their ranks and were confident they would dispose of the Walker motion as they had planned. Should the opposition be successful, it was regarded certain that Attorney General Thompson's opinion, holding Walker's failure to act today had settled the question of reconsideration, would be made by the suffragists a bursa for vehement protest. COURT ACTION IN PROSPECT A victory for the suffragists tomorrow however does not mean that the question of ratification by Tennessee is out of the woods. Judge Joseph Higgins of Nashville resident of the Tennessee Constitutional League stated today that if the success of the suffragists in the House is assured he is prepared to sue out a writ of injunction restraining Governor Roberts and the secretary of State from certifying the measure to Washington, on the ground that action by this legislature was in the violation of the State constitution. This is regarded in many quarters as presaging lengthy litigation, for the opinion of legal authorities in all parts of the country is sharply divided on the question involved. The Constitution provides that no legislature should pass upon a proposed amendment unless it should have been elected after the proposed measure had been submitted to the states by Congress. This legislature was elected in November 1918. Congress submitted the suffrage amendments month later. Gov. Roberts called the special session to act on the amendment, outlitter receiving opinions of W. L. Frierson, solicitor general of the United States and Attorney General Thompson, that a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States is holding invalid a referendum clause in the Ohio constitution, also served to nullify, the clause of the Tennesse see constitution in question. Many authorities maintain the two cases are not parallel and every effort to have the validity of the Tennessee provision upheld is expected. ICHELBERGER AGAIN QUIZZED The Davidson county grand jury, investigating charges that improper influence had been brought to hear on members of the legislature during their reconsideration of the suffrage amendment in an effort to defeat Michelberger in charge of antifraction headquarters and after a lieutenation adformed until tomorrow. ```markdown ``` JAMES WELDON JOHNSON IS SECRETARY OF N A C P. --- The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces that James Weldon Johnson Field Secretary of the Association since 1916, has been appointed as Acting Secretary pending final petition by the Board of Directors, to succeed John R. Stillady, resigned. Mr. Johnson is one of the best known colored men in the United States. He sides being field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., he is widely known as contributing editor of he New York Age. He is an author of note, having written several volumes, and has contributed to various periodicals such as The Century, The Independent, the Nation and The Crisis. Mr. Johnson has been one of the greatest simple factors in the rapid growth of the Association in membership and in power during the post three years. When he entered upon his work in the winter of 1946 the N. A. A. C. P. had 84 branches with a membership of 842. Today the Association has 342 branches with a membership of approximately 100,000. That remarkable growth has been due to a large measure to the work that Dr. Johnson has done as field scorer in building up the strong chain of branches that the Association now has. When he entered upon his work the Association had only two branches in Southern States. Mr. Johnson realized that the great strength of a movement Like the Advancement Association lay to a large extent in fighting where prejudice was great. He therefore immediately started through the South, organizing branches. On that trip he organized personally fifteen branches, in which included Atlanta one of the strongest in the Association and had to the Eleventh Annual Conference in June, 1920; and from that nucleus he number has grown until today there are 165 branches in Southern states with a membership of 50,000. Mr. Johnson's appointment has been received with great satisfaction and approval because of his personal popularity and his proven ability as an executive. ```markdown ``` DIVORCE GRANTED In the Law and Equity Court of City of Richmond, July 22, 1920, an absolute divorce was granted Edith Edmona Fenner, from her husband John J.

August 21, 1920 Dear Conferee: I want to call your attention, particularly, to the fact that the writer, according to the official count, received 61,041 votes at the primary, August 10, 1920, when a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State of Ohio against two white candidates for nomination for the same office. Also that my vote was larger than given Associate Justice Wanamaker (white) of the Ohio Supreme Court at the same primary, a candidate (also with but two opponents) for the nomination as Republican candidate for U.S. Senator to succeed Senator Warren G. Harding, our candidate for President. Judge Wanamaker was elected to his present position, ever al years ago, with a plurality of more than 100,000 in a "field" of several candidates for the position. Was the vote given me, August 10, 1920 "the largest ever given a member of the race a candidate for an important state office, in this country?" Yours for the Race. HARRY C. SMITH.

Owing to the news-print shortage, we are unable to obtain a sheet of 85x48 newsprint this week and the price of all newspaper has increased from $2.20 and $2.50 per hundred pounds to $15.00 and $15.50 per hundred. We find that we must either discontinue publication or reduce size of the sheet and we are now using 24x36 newsprint as a substitute in order to not discontinue publication. We increased our subscription price 25 per cent and our expenses in news-print have increased over 700 per cent.

The cry, "He kept us out of war" has now been changed to, "He kept us out of Peace" and both declarations apply to President-Woodrow Wilson. Colored folks as a rule believe in splits and some other colored folks believe in making people split who do not wish so to do. Some people, who are well and hearty are never satisfied until they have indulged in some indiscretion to make them painful and indisposed. --- Some females never had mothers to look after them and some of these same individuals will never have any children that they will look after although many of them have children. It is better to live in poor cremum- atanoes and enjoy peace of mind than to live in fine surroundings with worry looking out from every crevice and corner of the room. --- Going away to spend the summer is a fad with some people, just like staying home and doing housework is a habit with some others.

White folks are the sufferers now. --- When ninety per cent of the colored people, regardless of age or condition, religion or politics practice politeness and become models in good manners, the so-called race problem will be seventy-five per cent settled.

The poor houses are not exactly crowded as yet and the lunatic asylums are being enlarged for colored folks, why not enjoy life while you live and go to one place or the other before you die? HON. C.

John Mitchell, Jr., Dear Mitchell.—I am going day and night at work, as you know I be gan the practice of law here in 1917 just after the transfer and have been at it ever since, some months ago I was appointed Acting Assistant District Attorney, then recently I have been appointed Judge, and am now the only Judge in the two Islands of St. Thomas and St. John, and am sometimes kept in the Court house until nine o'clock at night, try ing cases in libel upon vessels, which come in admiralty, and at another time trying a gentleman of African persuasion for shooting eraps, some times three of four hundred thou-s and dollars are at issue, and another time a fine of five dollars and ten days in jail is the result so you see Mitchell that would seem to be going some, but in spite of all this hurly-hurly and hustle I would like all things to be in the West Virginia hills and the valley of Ohio and the blue grass of Kentucky, from now until November, so that I could raise my feeble voice and let loose my stammering tongue upon the ex travagance and mismanagement of the last seven years, but I am so tied up I fear I will not be able to reach there in time. I am praying that all the old boys, and the young, strong and vigorous boys will cry aloud and spare not an til the American people will wake up and take the Government out of the weak hands and from the feeble knees that have almost dropped it in to the slough of international entan glement race hate and antsb-limm incompetence. Your old time friend, C. H. PAYNE. Let us hope that this brilliant orator may be able to come here before the campaign ends. Certainly he will be warmly and enthusiastically welcomed in Richmond and a crowd in the City Auditorium would be glad to greet him. LET BYGONES BE BYGONES. Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, Ohio is a candidate for the Republican nomination of Secretary of State of Ohio. In the issue of his journal, The Cleveland Gazette, over his own signature, he says: As the newspaper men, who followed us, filed past Senator and Mrs. Harding and shook hands with them, last Friday at Marion, we noticed among the number Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus and his associate in business, Ormond A. Porte of Clove land. As they approached the Senator, Editor Harding Tolbert of the Cincinnati Journal who stood with the writer, quietly remarked: "I cannot see where Tyler gets the nerve to shake hands with Senator Harding after writing and publishing those 'lily-white' Texas lies and others, prior to the recent presidential primary." We simply remarked, "agreed!" A monumental nerve is one of the two things Tyler is noted for wherever known. It is hardly necessary to mention the other. Immediately upon our arrival in Marlon, last Friday noon, after reporting at the Marlon Club as instructions called for, the writer went to Senator Harding's personal headquarters, next to his residence to see an old friend (Howard D. Mannington) to whom we found, was on a trip east (to N. Y. City.) As a substitute for our friend, Senator Harding proved most acceptable and THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA we had a very pleasant visit. It would not have surprised us in the least, remembering Editor Tobert's dry remark of last Friday, to have seen Ralph Tyler at Marion, this week. Thursday, but he was not there. Surely he must have overlooked the occasion. Our readers will remember that the individual mentioned invited himself to Marion, several weeks ago, with a gentleman from the south by the name of Booze—a reminder of days that have gone (the name.) Members of the race, who have gone to Marion in recent weeks, all speak in the highest terms of their treatment there by everyone with whom they came in contact. And we cannot close this article without ing a word of praise, as a result of our treatment and that of those of the race here Thursday and last week Friday. We presume that Hon. Harry C. Smith, "knows his business," but it seems to us that inasmuch as he is a candidate for a great office, it would be well "to let by-gones be bygones." Lion Ralph W. Tyler stated specifically that until the distinguished Ohioan stated his position upon the race question, he would withhold his support from the nominee. In the address of acceptance of the presidential nomination, he did state himself plainly upon that question and he proved that in the final conclusion, Harry C. Smith was right and Ralph W. Tyler was wrong. It is not well to let personal feeling enter into either political rivalries or into political discussions. We learned this fact more than twenty years ago and we have not as yet seen any reason to revise that conclusion. Senator Harding and his managers want and need the votes of the white citizens, who formerly opposed him and the colored ones, who looked upon him with distavor. He is a gentleman of high character and we be lieve that he will live up to his prelection pledges. We do not admire Mr. Tyler's course in this matter as Hon. Harry C. Smith has outlined it, but Mr. Tyler is as liable to err as any other member of the human family. We take it that inasmuch as he is a race man, devoted to racial interests that he is willing to bury his personal feelings and support Hon. Harry C. Smith in his political aspirations, but we are free to say that if he is animated by the same likes and dislikes as our distinguished editorial friend possesses, he will rejoice at the opportunity to cast his influence and his vote for the "other fellow." We hope that Tyler will support Smith and that Smith will during the present campaign forget the shortcomings of Tyler. We need Ohio in the Republican column this year. For God's sake let us have peace. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The National Association for the Advancement of Colored people announces the retirement of Mr. John R Shillady Secretary of that great organization. We are puzzled to understand just what this means. From our viewpoint, Mr. Shillady was one of the best secretaries that, that or any other organization ever had. He possessed tireless energy and took risks, which led to his summary punishment in Texas. The Association devotes much space to speaking of the great work of his temporary and probably permanent successor, but says not one word about the distinguished gentleman, who has passed out. What does it mean? Is there discussion in this great organization that has and is doing so much for the colored people of America? All that is said of Mr. James Weldon Johnson is deserved, but it is voiced in a way that tends to bedlam and becloud the record of a gentleman, who seems to have given his time and risked his life in behalf of a cause that he loved so well.

Hartford, Conn., Aug. 18.—To insure Connecticut women a vote for President this fall under the now ratified Nineteenth Amendment, a special session of the Connecticut General Assembly must be called by Governor Holcomb according to Senator Frank B. Brandegee. He agreed with election authorities generally that some special statutes need to be enacted to enable women to vote. William W. Cotter, Registrar of Voters, of this city said that the State law stipulates that the Board of Registration may be in session for making new voters only from October 8 to 15. It would be a physical impossibility to register the thousands of women who have already anounced their intention to enroll. There is no disposition on the part of any political leaders or prominent lawyers to argue that the Federal amendment does not automatically and definitely supersede the State Constitution and any conflicting statutes, but the special session appears imperative to complement present laws and to avoid any possibility that might be made the basis of throwing a national election into the courts. Local election officials throughout Connecticut, which now uses voting machines generally, must act promptly to provide adequate quarters and equipment for handling the greatly augmented vote next November. It is held by Registrar Cotter that women who are already voters in Connecticut for purpose of voting on school and local questions need not be enfranchised over again, the original cath suffrage for the Presidential election. Neither Gov. Holcomb nor his ardently anti-suffrage secretary, John Buckloy, could be located today, although the Governor is a self confined prisoner in Connecticut, which he cannot leave without giving Lieut-Gov. Clifford B. Wilson the opportunity of convening the Legislature. Senator Brandegee, who comes up for reelection in November, with Homer Cummings as his probable Democratic opponent, said to night "I am glad the suffrage amendment is finished and out of the way. It was sure to come. I know nothing about the matters charged by Miss Alice Paul. Offhand and without ex amining the Connecticut election statutes, I cannot say whether or not the necessary election machinery exists, to permit women to vote for President next November, but women having now been engranchised by the action of the Legislatures of 3 three-fourths of the States of the Union, should have the opportunity of casting their ballots at the next election and a special session of the Connecticut General Assembly will undoubtedly be called by the Governor if it appears necessary to enable women to vote.

HOUSE VOTE IS 50 TO 46 Republican Member Leads Way Republican Member Leads Way Victory by Changing Ballot. Nashville, Tenn. Aug. 18—The amendment extending equal suffrage to American women was ratified to day for inclusion in the Federal Constitution, the lower House of the Tennessee Legislature voting 50 to 40 to concur in the Senate resolution adopted Friday 20 to 4. Action of the House made Tennessee see the thirty-sixth State to approve the amendment which lacked tonight only formal certification by Secretary Colby of the State Department to complete its acceptance by the nation. There is still a possibility that the House may rescind its action. At the last moment Speaker Walker, leader of the anti-suprrage forces, changed his vote from no to aye, paving the way for a motion to reconsider. Under House rules he can present such a motion within the next two legislative days. Should today's vote be confirmed or the House fail to take further action before adjournment Friday, millions of women will be free under the amendment to vote in the Presidential election next November. Only successful litigation contesting the legal right of this Legislature to ratify the section could prevent them. Steps for such a test of the provision of the Tennessee Constitution involved at ready have been taken by the Tennessee Constitutional League. Ninety-six of the ninety-nine members of the House were present today and the alignment, until a vote on concurrence was taken, was a tie, each faction polling forty-eight votes on a motion by Mr. Walker to table the resolution. SUFFS EXPECT ACCESSIONS TODAY. On the ballot for concurrence the line up was 49 to 47 until the Speaker changed his vote. This apparently would give the suffragists an advantage of only two votes, but their leaders declared tonight that members in favor of suffrage who were absent to day would arrive probably tomorrow morning. The motion to reconsider may be carried by a majority vote of the members present and since Mr. Walker can act without a moment's notice, the suffragists planned to be on hand in full force during the next two days. Suffrage leaders said they expected no defections among their forces but as a precaution were tightening their lines tonight, while opposition leaders were waging an active cam palign to increase their strength for a final effort. The party line-up on the vote on the resolution to ratify was as follows: Democrats, Aye 35; Nay 34; Absent 1; Republicans, Aye 15; Nay 12; Abesent 2. In the Senate on Friday the line-up was: Democrats Aye 18; Nay 3 Absent—; Republicans, Aye 7; Nay 1; Absent— SUDDEN END TO BATTLE. The end came suddenly. Debate on the motion to concur had been in progress little more than an hour and there was no indication that a vote was imminent when Speaker Walker called Representative Overton to the chair and took the floor to reply to suffragists who had charged that special interests were at work to defeat ratification. The battle has been won and the measure has been defeated," Mr. Walk or said. "I resent the iniquitous marks that special interests are here alone against this measure. I resent this on behalf of the womanhood that is both for and against suffrage. "I move that this measure go where it belongs—to the table." Instantly the chamber was in an uproar. Suffragists clamored for recognition, while a chorus of "second the motion" came from the antis. Mr. Overton however, refused to recognition, while a chorus of "second called. The result was in doubt on an official tallies. An appeal to the clerk developed that his tally als) showed developed that his tally also showed a tie—48 to 48. Pandeminium reigned. Members left their seats and crowded around the Speaker's stand, many demanding another roll call. Mr. Overton who occupied the chair during the remainder of the session ordered a second roll call, which showed a tie of 48 to 48 and the Speaker declared the motion lost for want of a majority. Instantly the anti-suffragists demanded a vote on the original motion to concur in the Senate action. If an other tie resulted, it meant rejection of the amendment. When the Speaker put the motion, hundreds of suffragists regarded the battle as lost. The vote at the cutset was on par tisan lines, but when the name of Re presentative Harry T. Burn, Republican, of Mominn county, was called he voted "Aye." The opposition then virtually con ceded defeat for Mr. Burn had voted with them to the table resolution and his change gave the suffragists the needed majority. The stand of other members was unchanged until the name of Representative B. P. Turner, Democrat of Gibson county was reached, and he passed. Instantly there was a shout of satisfaction from the antis. He had voted against the motion to table and his failure to vote again balanced the opposing forces, but just before the end of the roll call Mr. Turner requested the clerk to record him voting "Aye." Mr. Turner had said repeatedly that he would vote neither for nor against ratification unless it was evident that his vote was needed, but in that event he would vote for the amendment. Suffragists launched an uproarious demonstration before the clerk announced the vote, for there was no question that they had won. Women screamed at the top of their voices, scores placed their arms around the necks of those nearest them and danced so far as it was possible to so in the mas of humanity. Hundreds of suffrage banners were waved wildly, and many removed the yet low flowers they had been wearing, and threw them upward to meet a similar from the galleries. Few tears of joy were shed by the suffragists. Some wipe their eyes, but on the whole they considered it no time for weeping. Their happiness was far beyond that stage. A motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning was offered after the official vote was announced, but in the uprout it was doubted whether any members heard it or whether it was seconded. The Speaker put the question, called for the "Ayes" and "Noos" and announced gravely that the motion had carried unanimously. The announced intention to attack the legality of ratification if the House failed to rescind its action was the subject of conferences tonight between the suffrage leaders and between leaders of the opposition. The clause of the Tennessee Constitution upon which would be based the test in the courts is Article 2, Section 32. It follows: A convention or general assembly of this State shall act upon any amendment of the Constitution of the United States proposed by Congress to the several states, unless such convention or general assembly shall have elected after such amendment is submitted. The present legislature was elected in November, 1918, and the suffrage amendment was not submitted to the State until months afterward. ECHO OF RECONSTRUCTION DAYS The article was adopted in 1870 as a result of the ratification by the Tennessee Legislature of the Fourteenth Amendment during reconstruction days after the civil war. White citizens of Tennessee were not represented in that legislature it is said, and to prevent ratification of amendments by pushing tactics, as occurred in that instance, adoption of the article was one of the first things effected after their civil rights were restored. The Supreme Court of the United States in deciding recently a case originating in Ohio held void a clause in the Constitution of that State relating to referendums on amendments. Based on opinions by W. L. Frierson, Solicitor-General of the United States and State's Attorney-General Thompson, Gov. Roberts called the present Legislature in extraordinary session to act on the suffrage amendment, declaring he had been assured the Supreme Court's ruling the Ohio case served to nullify the article in the Tennessee Constitution t. Suffrage opponents in Tennessee held that the two cases were not parallel, that action by the present legislature would be in violation of the State Constitution and the fight of the opposition from the beginning has centered largely upon this contention. The Tennessee Constitutional League, of which Judge Joseph Higgins of Nashville is president and which has prepared to place the case in the hands of the courts, is an organization of attorneys and includes in its membership both suffrage advocates and opponents, according to a statement by Judge Higgins. The purpose of the organization, Judge Higgins said is nothing more or less than to up hold and protect the Constitution of Tennessee. DR. BLACKWELL ELATED. Venerable Suffragist Toured U. S.

THREE Telephone 283 --- FOUR THE PERISCOPE (Associated Negro Press.) WHAT DO WE WANT? (By Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, Howard Univ.) SOCIAL and industrial unrest is sweeping over our country. It is a symptom of the times not to be ignored. The country is in upheaval. Efforts have been made to set race against race; labor against capital; employee against employer; farmer against tenant; the stronger against the weaker; men of high repute against men of low repute. We colored Americans have been compelled to bear more than our share of injustice and discrimination at a time when it would seem that, if ever before in the history of our country, we have proved our right to fair play, to a square deal. Anti-racial outbreaks have stirred hostilities and done much to destroy former relations of good fellowship between the races. Present conditions, if not halted, may become dangerous and alarming. It is necessary therefore that the real leaders of both races should seek in every way possible to stabilize the present situation. The races are not hopelessly hostile toward each other. The situation is serious but not desperate. A healthy sentiment in favor of fair play is growing up on many sides. What the Negro wants with all his heart, and what America will proudly concede him, I do believe, can be stated very easily. In substitution for lynchings he wants justice in the courts; he wants the privileges of serving on juries; the right to vote; the right to hold office like other citizens. He wants better educational facilities, abolition of the "Jim-Crow" car and of discrimination and segregation in the Government service; the same military training and chance for promotion in the army that white men enjoy* destruction of the peonage system; an equal wage, better housing better sanitary conditions and reforms in those penal institutions where men and women of his race have suffered grievous wrongs. That is the Negro problem, that is America's problem. Does it impose too much upon the greatest democracy in the world? I cannot believe that it does. SUFFS CHECKED TEMPORARILY IN TENNESSEE. Legality of Acts by Legislature Probably Will Be Passed Upon. Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 21—Upon application of citizens of this and Robertson County Judge E. F. Langford of the Chancery Court of Davidson County today temporarily enjoined Gov. Roberts and Secretary of State Ike B. Stevens from certifying to Secretary Colby that the Tennessee Legislature had ratified the woman sutrarage amendment. The proceedings attacked the validity of the call by which the Legislature was convened and the legality of that body's consideration of the amendment. Notice of the injunction was served on the Governor immediately after the order had been granted. The bill under which the injunction was granted cited provisions of the State Constitution, which provides that no General Assembly shall act upon an amendment to the United States Constitution unless such Assembly shall have been elected following the submission of the amendment. The bill also cited the action of the House of Representatives up on the ratification resolution up to the filing of the bill, adding that the motion to reconsider had not up to that time been made. It was alleged that Gov. Roberts has been actively working for the passage of the "illegal and unconstitutional" resolution and that the same attitude was held by Secretary of State Stevens. It was also charged that should the motion to reconsider the resolution fall an effort would be made to telegraph a certificate to the Secretary of State at Washington. The bill also charged information and belief that the "said Secretary of State at Washington had announced his intention of proclaiming the adoption of he said nineteenth amendment even on receipt of telephone or telegraphic message as aforesaid." Such methods the bill termed as being "wholly illegal, and would be, if resorted to an effort to stifle the views of the people of Tennessee and to oust the lawful authority of the courts." PROPERTY RIGHTS INVOLVED The bill insisted that there was no conflict between the State and Federal Constitutions on the subject of amendments. The bill also maintained that the elective franchise was "a property right the value of which would be seriously impaired by the wrongful and illegal act of the gen oral assembly." Speakers A. L. Todd and Seth Walker of the Senate and House were also named as defendants in the proceedings. In the meantime the lower house of the Tennessee Legislature defeated 50 to 0, a motion to reconsider its action in ratifying the woman suffrage amendment and ordered the Senate joint ratification resolution transmitted to the Senate that it might be sent to the engrossing clerk. Many legal authorities here regard the amendment as literally wrapped up in legal entanglements, and they say it is a foregone conclusion that the courts will have to pass on the legality of the ratification. I. K. Riddick, suffrage leader, declaring the Legislature was acting under Federal and not State law in considering the suffrage amendment and that the State constitutional LEAGUE OF NATION Grant E. Hamilton of Judga. corum necessary, moved that the Walker motion for reconsideration of ratification be taken from the journal. The Speaker held the Middick motion out of order. On a appeal to the House the Speaker was overruled by a vote of 49 to 8. LESS THAN QUORUM PRESENT Knocken then moved that the House reconsider its concurrence in the Senate's ratification of the amendment, but the motion was lost 50 to 0. The House adjourned until Monday without taking action on the point of order of Speaker Walker that an injunction granted by the State Chancellor prevented any further action on sufrage by the House. Only fifty-nine members, seven less than a quorum answered to their names when Speaker Walker called the regular meeting time. The Speaker declared the House in recess for 1 hour to give the sergeant at arms time to round up absentees. Since thirty of the absent members were reported at Decatur, Ala., however, there seemed little prospect that a quorum could be had. Speaker Walker directed the sergeant at arms to arrest and bring before the bar of the House all absent members. BLACKSTONE NOTES. Blackstone, Aug. 25—Mrs. C. C.
