Suffrage Leaders Admit They

Session of Legislature Con-

BY GEORGE MORRIS.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. s.--If the
eyes OF the nation are upon the iegls-
iature Of Tennessee, the eyes Of the
legislature are none the less upon the
ladies. The eyes Of the nation are
upon the legislature, assembled In ex-
traordlnary session, because upon It's
action on the Nineteenth amendment

creed or previous condition Of serSatude.
shall be admitted to equal rights OF
suffrage. The eyes Of the legislators
are upon the women because they are
fearful In wrath, and because some OF
them really are fair TO look upon.
A poll of the members Of the house
and senate assembled for the opening
session reveals the startling fact that
only four Of 1872 are married and their
wives are with them,
The legislators are having the time
of their gay young lives. So far they
have refused to accept the situation
seriously They like to be lobbied with
and everything There are types Of
feminine lobbyists with argument, looks
and STYLE to suit the most fastidious
solon from the rural districts of the
commonwealth.
For that reason and others there
will be no hurry to get down to the
real and absorbing business of legislat
ing. One of the things in the way is
that the returns from the 13 special
elections held Thursday were not can
vassed until Monday The returns mus
be certified to the secretary of state
and he viii issue credentials to the
newly elected members. No member
can qualify for the exclusive and alto
gether desirable office of legislator
without the certificate of election. In
all probability it will be Wednesday
