Nashville, Aug. 31.-The Tennessee
House of Representatives with a quo
rum presence at the first time since
August 20, arranged from it's journal
this afternoon all record of ratifica-
ton of the suffrage amendment and
voted, AZ to 81 with 20 not voting, to
nOn-concurrance the action of the
Senate in ratifying it.
Shortly after the House convened it
became evident that the anti-ratifica
tionists, a majority of whom have been
in Alabama on filibuster for more
than a week, were in the majority
through failure of several of the suf.
frage members to arrive in time. With
lock-likc program, the antis proceeded
to put through their plan of attempt
ing to undo what was done on August
/, when ratification was accomplished
Carried by Ito 81.

the suffrage ratification resolution.
After this was accomplished, 47 to
81, with sixteen not voting, motion
was made and carried that a certified
copy of the resolution, the original of
which is in the hands of the Senate, be
spread upon the journal.
Representative Riddick, floor leader
of the ratificationists made the point
of order that the resolution was out
of the hands of the House and now a
part of the federhl Constitution
through proclamation of Secretary of
State Colby. He was overrulcd by
Speaker Walker.
The House by viva voce vote then
adopted a motion to reconsider it's pre-
vious action until the resolution. Mo-
ton was then made and carried to
non-concur in the action of the Senate
in ratifying the ratification resolution.
May BE Illegal.
In the course. of the discussion of
the legality of the action of the House
in reconsidermg, Representative Rid
dick read a letter from Safes Attor-
ney Thompson in which the latter ex-
pressed the opinion that reconsidera-
tion Of the resolution was impossible
since the House had already ratified il
and Governor Cox had certified to Sec,

retary Colby this action by both House
and Senate.
Governor Roberts declined to make
any statement tonight as to the effect
of the Houses action, saying that the
matter was purely legal one and in
the hands of Attorney General Thomp-
son.
Action Of the House is not taken Sc
riously here, as the general opinion
prevails that legality or illegality CT
ratification will be decided upon the
record sent to Washington by Cover
nor Roberts.
Anti-ratifcationists would not state
tonight whether they expect to make
an effort to have the Senate, which
voted to ratify, 25 to q, to reverse it's
action.

The Potato.

In its native country, on the noun
tains of Chile and Peru, writes Jean
Henri Fabre, in Field, Forest and
Farm, the potato in its wild state is
poor diminutive tuber about as large
as hazelnut. Man takes the worth
less wild stock into his garden, plants
it in rich soil, tends it, waters it; and
behold, from year to year the potato
thrives more and more, gaining in size
and In nutritive properties. and finally
becomes a farinaceous tuber as large
