ROBERTS.
AND ALT TAYLOR
. ENTER Stuff FIGHT
GubernatoriaI Candidates Will
Appear Before Joint Com
mittees and Urge Favorable
Report on Resolution.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. IL. (Spl)
Gov. Roberts and ALI Taylor, opposing
candidates of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties for governor in the
November election, will appear before
the joint committees of the senate and
house to urge favorable report, when
they have a hearing on the resolution
providing ratification of the federal SUI
frage amendment.
Ernest Haston, senator leader of the
suffrage forces; 7. X. Riddick, house
leader, and Miss Charl Williams rep
resenting the women, win select num-
Der of speakers, to appeal for their
cause but so far the only selection an
nounced are the two candidates for
governor and Gen. Charles T. Gates. 1t
Is understood that Gen. Gates will be
the only representative of the so-called
Cates-Lea faction, as 1t is thought ad-
visable to confine the advocates for
the most part to friends of Gov, Rob-
crts, in the Democratic party. and
friends Of Taylor in the Republican
party.
The selection of Gen. Gates is in
tended to salve the fresh made wounds
of the element deposed from leadership,
but which went so far before being
recalled as to almost precpitate the
resolution into the chasm of oblivion!
The campaign for ratification under
the direction of Miss Williams, extend
ing over a little more than two days,
kas been abundantly justified by re.
suits. For the first time since the
campaign opened members of the legis-
lature friendly to ratification made
progress. But this was made under
difficulties. The first day Miss Will
liams spent five and one-half hours
listening to complaints from women
who came bearing tales about one an
other.
Miss Williams was new at the bust
ness and thought when they got their
fractional grievance off their chests they
would subside, but strange to relate,
the more they talked the more they
had to say, and difficulties seemed to
multiply instead of being wiped out.
