Nashville, Aug. 21.-A meeting Of the

amendment was blocked by anti

Nashville last midnight so az to make
impossible q quorum at the session
which was to have opened at 10 q.

Only fifty-ni members, seven less
than a quorum, answered to their
names when Speaker Walker called
the house to order half an hour after
the regular meeting time. The speak
er declared the house in recess for
one hour to give the sergeant
arms time to round up absentecs
Since thirty of the absent members
were reported at Decatur, Ala, how
ever, there seemed little prospect
that the quorum could be had.
The suffragdst members Of the
house planned to hurry the recon-
sideration resolutions beyond resur-
rection today by calling 1t UP and
voting it beMonG recall.
Proceed Regardless.

that the Walker motion for recon

The three branches of government
We're intended to be separate and dis
tinct-certainly nothing could be
more clearly subversive Of that ar
rangement than the carefully thought
out plan Of having the leaders of the
senate dominate a political conven-
ton and make the choice OF the party
for the presidency. The very argu-
ment which Senator Harding ad-
vances in support OF the sena torial
individuality. certainly holds with
equal logic to the preservation ,,f ex-
ecutiye Individuality. Not only will
the people at all times regari any
departure from this principle dam
gerous, but they resent the attempt
now being made to turn the senate
