Suffrage leaders are preparing mcmori-
al in honor of Mrs. X. l.. Burn, mother OF
the young legislator. They say she by n
stroke of her pen set the women of the
Nation free. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
president of tho National Woman Suf-

follows:
"You arc blessed with bravo and
honest son, Whatever the enemies of
justice and deccncy may do now to show
their vengeance upon him, he is bound
to have great future. You will be proud
II him."
Representative Banks Turner of Glib

Gov. Roberts yesterday morning, half
hour before the roll call. Gov. Roberts call
ed him IN conference and urged him to
change his mind and support the propo-
sition. He explained to him that it meant
a great deal for the Democratic Party.
Turner promised to vote for ratification
and did. Had it not been for the change

VOTE ON SUFFRAGE
/ MAY Be REVERSED
Speaker Walker Of House Insists
He Has Enough Pledged to
Overturn Action.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 2O.-At mass,
meeting of anti-suffragists, last night
Speaker. Walker of the house, leader OF
the fight against ratification, asserted
the house would today reconsider its
action, and stated he had enough votes
pledged for that purpose.
Suffrage leaders, however, believe that
their fight is over and that the action OF
the House Wednesday will stand.
As a final protest, the ants had a mass
meeting last night, at which many speak
ers declared they were going to keep up
the contest ito save the south from the
Susan b. Anthony Amendment and Fed
eral Suffrage Force bnls.'9
The next move in the House is up
to the anti-ratificationists, and they
had nothing to offer yesterday. Speaker
Walker did not call up his resolution
10 reconsider the vote on the resolution
to ratify. He has to act today. Five or
SIX of the men who voted against ratitica-
ton are now ready to oppose the motion
of the speaker. They assert that the
vote on ratification was fairly taken and
counted and certifcation should follow
The only mention made of the suf-
frage amendment in the General As
sembly yesterday was in a speech of
Harry Burn, the twenty-five year old
he denied he had been offered q bribe
for his deciding vote. MIR. Burn said
there was no truth in the allegation that
he had received anything for changing
from the anti to the suffrage side yester-
dav He said his mother had appealed to
him to support suffrage, and he had taken
her advice.
As an aftermath of the bitter fight
Judge J. ID. b. Debow of Nashville yester-
day instructed the Davidson County
Grand Jury to investigate the reports that
there had been violations of the law against
corrupt or improper lobbying.
Representative Burn, who switched
from the ants to suffrage, was named In
afiidavits published in newspapers as
having yielded TO undue influence.
The affidavits purportlng to have
been made by c. G. Wallace, of Lewis
burg Tenn, and Ennis +. Murray, of
Nashville, general agent for the Federal
Land Bank of Louisville, Ky, were pub,
lished in the Nashville Tennessean and
the Nashville Banner. Wallace and
Murray allege they heard persons, in
Guiding Representative Joe Hanover, of
Shelby County, and c. j.. Daughtry, |
Secretary to Gov. Roberts, insist to Burn |
that he change his vote.
According to M,lrray's affidavit, Burn
was told that thev would give him any |
thing in the world he wanted and that it |
would make him the biggest man in Ten
nessee and l understood Hanover to say
would be worth $4,000 to him.
Later Representative Hanover de-
olared the charge was mo more than
a clumsy effort to embarrass friends
and supporters of the rights Of our wo-
men" He said he had only urged Burn
to vote for ratification and that Mr.
Daughtry also did no more than this Mr.
said he heard the conversation
and that Hanover did not at any time
intimate to Mr.. Burn that he would be
paid any amount of money or that he
would be given any other consideration
for his vote"
