to sustain the ruling and Walker called
Representative Joe ode, suffragist, to
the chair.
Odle ordered a roll-call ON Riddick's
motion for reconsideration. Walker
made point of order that there was no
quroum, but was ignored and the suffra-
gists defeated the motion to reconsider
by vote of 90 to o.
Riddick then moved that the house
transmit to the senate in the usual
manner the senate joint resolution rati-
flying the amendment. Again Walker
made point of no quorum and also ehal-

Big Legislative Tangle.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 23.-Al-
though Tennessee's ratification of the
federal woman suffrage amendment
stands on the legislative record of the
lower house of the legislature as finally
confirmed, snarl of legal and legislative
technicalities remains to be disposed OF
before the action can be certified.
Suffrage supporters, who had ridden
roughshod in the house during the day
over every obstacle thrown in their way,
claimed full legislative triumph. They
declared that only a temporary Sinjune-
ton secured by the ants prevented i'm
mediate certifcation to Secretary Colby
at Washington. On the other hand,
Speaker Walker, leader of the opposi
ton, and scores of his heutenants said
the suffragists had ruined their cause and
that even should the courts eventually
hold ratification legal, the litigation
would so delay final decision that the
amendment would not figure in the No
yember election unless some other state
ratified it.
When the house met Saturday morning
all the suffragists and sprinkling of the
opposition members were in their seats.
The roll-call showed 80 members present,
or seven short of a quorum. Speaker
Walker declared a recess and ordered
the sergeant at arms to arrest absen-
tees. That official reported that none of
the missing members appeared to be in
the city.
T. X. Riddick, suffrage floor leader,
declaring that action on the suffrage
amendment was not a state but federal
matter and that the state laws as re-
CARDS a quorum of the house did not APP
ply, moved that the Walker motion for
reconsideration be called from the jour
nal and acted upon. Speaker Walker
ruled the motion out of order for lack
of quorum and added that the iniune
ton just served upon him also stood in
the way. On an appeal the house failed
