TENNESSEE AN IT'S CALL
ON COLBY TO RETRACT
Will Visit Secretary Today and
Will Cite Precedents for
Action Asked.

Washington. Sept. 20.-A delegation of
Tennessee anti-suffragists, headed by
Speaker of the House Walker, arrived in
Washington last night, and, according
to announcement by the National Asso-
ciation opposed to Woman Suffrage, will
call on Secretary Colby today to request
that the final action of the Tennessee
House in voting not to concur in ratili-
cation of the Federal suffrage amendment
be recognized and announced by the
State Department.
The anti-suffragists declared last night
that precedent for the request is found
in the action of Secretary of State Sew
ard in conditionally proclaiming the
Fourteenth Amendment and Secretary
of State Fish in proclalming the Fifteenth
Amendment In both cases, although there
were enough ratifying States otherwise,
the State Department announced with
drawals. Such an announcement IN the
case of Tennessee's ratification of the
suffrage amendment is requested by the
Tennessee delegation.
Delegations of anti-suffragists from
other States are expected by the Associa-
tion Opposed to Woman Suffrage to join
with the Tennessee delegation in calling
on Secretary Colby. A large delegation, it
was said will come from Maryland
where the Legislature meets in specia
session today.
