|goYefp0E WIN srge ratification Of :
Eight, according TO anti -snff r4gists,
who reported a slight ajority in; the
house opposed to ratification and al
majority of the senate in favor Of the
amendment. Senator A. M. Scales
will lead the fight for ratification in
the senate while Representative w.
N. Everett will head the pro-suffrage
forces in the house.
Democratic leaders in the legisla-
ture, it was said today, plan to hold
a conference the latter part of the
week to decide on a course of action
in reference to the suffrage question
Reports were current early today
that an. naturalization resolution
would be introduced into the lower
house this morning but this failed to
materiaize and that body adjourned
until tomorrow after brief sessi- on.
Unconfrmed rumors that an attempt
would be made to postpone action by
the house until the. regular session in
January 1921 also were current.
In conformity with the plan of con-
dacting the campaign under the lead
ership ofTennesseeans, Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the AM
erican Woman Suffrage Association
and Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton of
Ohio vice chairman Of the Republican
Executive committee are remaining in
their headquarters and acting as con-
sulting specialists rather than general
practitioners" as -one suffragist ex-
pressed it.
Discussion of the joint resolution
in the senate and house tomorrow be-
fore referring it to committee is ex-
pected in a measure to develop the
strength of the opposing forces. Many
canvassers however, agree that one
poll is as near correct as another and
that only vote will settle the ques-
tion.
Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 1O.-A joint
resolution providing for ratification
of the Federal Woman Suffrage
amendment was introduced today in
