The legislature met promptly a
high twelve Tuesday, Jan. 9th. The
members were sworn in by Secre-
tary Of State, Power, and proceed
ed with the work OF organizing.
Hon. NJ s. Connor was reelected
Speaker by acclamation, as all hi $
opponents had Withdrawn from the
race. After am interesting contest,
Mr.. Lester Il. Husbands was elected
Seargeant-at-arms. U. S. Roberts
and D. M. Robbins, two old Con-
federate soldiers, were elected door
keepers, and Miss Henrietta Mitch
eli was chosen Post Mistress.
The budgets submitted by the
heads Of the various Department
and State Institutions call for an
increase of more than nine million
dollars over the appropriations Of
the biennial period 19IS-19, or al
most double.
The amounts asked for total near
lily 2l,0o0,000 dollars, while the es
timated revenues of the State from
all sources is only s13, ,S39, 400. The
only way to give al the institutions
and departments all they call for is
to increaee the State levy consider
ably, and issue bonds. In my
Judgment, we shall have to give
practically all of them a great deal
less than they ask for.
We have passed one measure SO
far. Senate Bill No. l to pay the

went through without debate, and
there was only one vote against it !

"SUFFS" HOPE FOR LEGAL
| DECISION BEFORE NOVEMBER

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug. 23-
Both factions in the Tennessee suf-
frage fight prepared today for le-
gal battle over the legislatures rat
ification OF the suffrage amendment.
Suffrage workers and their opponents
thought the next step in the contro-
versy would be the hearing on a tenn
porary writ of injunction issued Sat
urday restraining state officials from
certifying to the vote to be sent to
Washington. The Tennessee con-
stitutional league which brought the
suit on the ground that the legisla-
ture under the state constitution had
no right to ratify the suffrage amend
ment, has announced it will carry the
fight if necessary to the United
States Supreme Court. Officials OF
the league predicted that the injunc-
ton would prevent women voting fol
at least Is months. Suffrage leaders
expressed the belief that the courts
would uphold the ratification by the
Tennessee legislature in time fol
women to vote in November

HOUSE EXPLAIN ~.

DECATUR, Ala, Aug. 23-Men-
bcrs of the Tennessee House of Rep
resentatives here today issued for
NAL statement addressed to the
people of Tennessee setting forth
their reasons for breaking quorum
in the House by leaving the State.
1t bears the signature of 81 mem
bers, of whom 27 are Democrats and
10 Republicans.
Enumerating "reasons for our ac-
tions in breaking a quorum in order
to prevent the passage of the resolu-
tion ratifying the suffrage amend
ment to the constitution, the mes
sage says:
1--WE are convinced that the meth
ods which were adopted to secure the
passage of the resolution were i'm
proper and not justified. We believe
that the majority of the people OF
Tennessee do not favor the ratifica-
ton of said amendment We felt to
have ratified said amendment would
have been to surrender the sovereign
rights of the state, on the question
Of suffrage, which is one of the most
important and sacred rights conferr-
ed and the only defense the people
of Tennessee have to protect ther'
selves and the only way we could
serve was to take the course that we
have taken. We fully understand
that our action could only be justi-
fed by the tremendous issues involv-
ed"

causing the machine to strike teIe-

the fact that MI. Calderwood received

MI. Calderwood and MI. Holland
had been called to East Concord in
the evening to prepare for burial the

the way over, MI. Calderwood, who
was driving the car, complained Of
trouble with the steering apparatus,
but seemed unable to locate the
trouble. On the return trip, the
trouble became more serious until the

material nomination and SAID that
$1,000 was enough for any candidate
to spend during the primaries.
The candidate also laid great stress
on campaign expenses, claiming that
he was under an avalanche OF money

claimed credit for being the father

that if he we're governor he would

He also laid claim to credit fol
his position on woman suffrage, long

that the industrial development o1
Vermont on any extensive lines was
an impossibility and characterized
such attempt as flying in the face

that Vermont had been unfortunate
in her choice of the two latest GOV

that the state would not suffer which
