 Republicans
By Associated pruss

Nashville. Tenn, August s.-Prompt ratification of the federal woman suf- frage amendment in order that sthe women of the country might share in shaping the destiny of the republic was urged by Governor Roberts today in his message to the Tennessee legislature, which met in extraordinary session to act upon the measure.
 He cited declarations of the republi- can and democratic national and state platforms in favor of woman suffrage and declaring that platforms are ac- cepted as party law and are so regarded as sacred pledges by members Of those parties elected upon such platforms.
 The senate and house both adjourned until tomorrow after an hours session and without the introduction of the ratification resolutions. Leaders said these probably would be offered tomor- row and would be referred to the judi ciary committees. which, if inclined to do SO, would conduct hearings. A vote in either house was not regarded as probable before the end of the week at the earliest.
 Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt. president of the American Woman Suffrage Asso- citation. in a statement today declared that If members pledged to rHfication stood by their pledges the suffragists would win. No member announced as pledged against ratification was counted on by the sufrragists, she said.
 On all sides it was said the course of the republican delegation would play an important, if not vital, part in the issue. Seven of the thirty-three senators are republicans Seventeen votes in the senate are necessary for ratification. Ill the house, however the membership of ninety-nine includes twenty-nine republi- cans Fifty votes will be necessary for ratification hy the house.

By Associated Press

New Orleans. August 9.-State Com mander T. Semmes Walmsley of the Louisiana department of the American Legion announced today that the Leon Soniat post of this city had been ex- pelled from the organization and its charter revoked.

 The resolution of the Soniat post was the most drastic act of internal policy since the legion was formed. It charged the easy and interruptions use of the name of the AmerA an Legion by certain of it's members" and was pronounced anti-compensati tion throughout.
 The Leon Soniat post is composed of members from some of the leading families of the state.
