SUFFRAGE AIMS
Enemies Go To Court For Injunc-
ton Against Proclamation

TO STOP ENFORCEMENT
Suit is Filed In District Of Columbia
To Prevent State Department From
Enforcing Amendment In Case
OF Ratific alton.

Washington - Proceedings asking
that cambridge Colby, secretary OF
state, be enjoined from issuing any
proclamation declaring the suffrage
ratified, have been instituted in the
District of Columbia supreme court
by Charles s. Fairchild of New York,
president of the American constitu-
tional league. Mr.. Fairchild also seeks
to prevent Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer from enforcing the
amendment.
The basis Of the proceedings is the
claim that the ratification of the
amendment by the West Virginia legis-
lature was illegal, because accomplish
ed by fraud, and that the proposed rati-
fication by the Tennessee legislature
also would be illegal on the ground
hat the legislature lacks authority I'M
der the states constitution to act on
the measure.
Only 35 states have ratified the
amendment, and as ratification by one
other is necessary, the attack on the
amendment through the courts at this
time came as a surprise in suffrage
circles here. An attack on the legality
OF the action of the Tennessee legisla-
ture had been expected, but not until
the legislature actually had acted.
North Carolina Solons Called.
Raleigh, n. C.-Governor Thomas
w. Beckett of North Carolina has is
sued a call for a special session of the
legislature for Aug. 10 at which rati-
fcation of the suffrage amendment
will be considered.
