Tennessee Solons Are
Free to Pass Suffrage
Amendment Is Rulind

Washington, June 24.-Assistant At
torney General Frierson has advised
Governor Roberts of Tennessee, that
the legislature of that state could rati-
fy the suffrage amendment without
submitting the issue to the people.
Mr. Friersons opinion was based
largely on the decision of the United
States supreme court in the Ohio ref
erendum case. In that case the court
held that ratification of amendments
could be had only by state legislatures
or conventions and that provisions .,
state constitutions that ratification be
referred to vote of the people con-
flicted with the federal constitution.
Mr.. Frierson ruled that the supreme
court decision made invalid that Sec
tion of the Tennessee constitution
which provides that any action on a
federal amendment must be taken by
legislature, the members of whici.
have been elected after the amend
ment was submitted to the state.
Miss Alice Paul. chairman of the
woman's party, said today that Gov
ernor Roberts decision to call spe-
cial session of the Tennessee legisla-
ture to act on the suffrage amendment
"means certain victory" A recent can
vass of both Tennessee houses, she said
indicated a safe majority in favor of
"This, of course, will be triumph
for the democratic party" Miss Pau
declared, "and already has had the ef-
feet of pushing republican efforts to
