Reverses Action

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. with a
quorum present for the first time
since August 20, the Tennessee house
of representatives yesterday voted to
expunge from its journals all refer
ence to the equal suffrage amendment,
and by vote Of AZ to "a decided not
to concur in the senate resolution rat
flying the amendment.
The anti-sutfragists were in full con-
troll, and rode rough shod over all ef-
forts to halt their proceedings. Rep
resentative Riddick, the floor leader Of
the ratificationists, made the point Of
order that the resolution was not now
before the house, having been trans
ferred to the federal department Of
state by the certihcation OF the gov
ernor. This point was promptly over
ruled by Speaker Walker.
The action Of the house Is not
taken seriously here, as it is the con-
tention of suffrage advocates that the
whole matter passed out Of the hands
Of tn legislature when the result Of
the voting was certified to Secretary
Colby.

fine ride here last week. The daugh-

with the home And 1t was some Sec
ing! We went all over the 3,40e
acres AT one point we went on Q
straight-away drive between the cord
fields on either side for a space OF
cne and three -fourths miles. Some

Twas possible large sums might be
raised in industrial centers without
the knowledge Of the national commit
tee !. He said no one knew what
amounts would be expended by coun

willing to work for the Republican
committee provided he could get as
oig salary as the Democrats had

though they would give $4,000 rath-
