SUFFRAGTSTS TRY
FOR ANOTHER STATE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-Woman suf-
frage leaders are considering launch
ing an immediate and vigorous cam
paign TO procure ratification OF the
Nineteenth Amendment by other States
10 assure that all American women
will be able 10 vote in the coming
Presidential and Congressional cleo
tiOns.
This course is being considered be-
cause OF the tactics OF delay and the
legal attacks now being employed by
suffrage opponents in Tennessee to
prevent that States ratification from
becoming effective in time TO allow
women to vote this fall
At suffrage headquarters today it
was apparent that the tactics OF the
Tennessee ants. aimed to prevent Gov.
Roberts from forwarding the ccgtifi-
cate to Secretary OF state Colby, are
bOthering suffragists more than they
care TO admit
With the Tennessee certifcat,on in
hand Mr.. Colby can issue at once a
formal proclamation OF ratification OF
| the amendment as the last formal
step necessary to make It d part OF
.he Constitution OF The United States
once that is done, suffragiss believe
fcrther legal attacks have small
chances OF success. Until 1t is done
however, suffragisis are on the defen-
sive.
Governor Roberts is prevented from
! forwarding the certiflcation by the
/ fact that Speaker Walker Of the Ten
nessee House has not signed the rati-
! lcation resolution passed by thai
body and by a temporary Injunction
restraining him from forwarding tn
certifcation At last reports Speaker
Walker was sOiOurning in Alabama
along with other Tennessee legisla-
tors and there was on advice as Il
when he would return to Nash
Vile
Suffrage leaders are trying for ar
early hearing on the Injunction. They
believe they can win It. but they are
still facing the probability that their
iopponenis will appeal, thus further
preventing Roberts and Colby from
acting even though both are eagei
and willing 10 do so. There Is alsl
the possibility that an attempt vii
be made TO enioin Secretary Cobb,
from issuing his proclamation evti
afier the favorable Tennessee actor
has been centifed. but suffragists sa!
they do not fear the result Of this.

4 Press. Secretary Of State Colby 10
day was ready TO proclaim final rati-
fication OF the Federal woman suffrage
amendment as soon as Governor Rob
erts certifes 10 him that Tennessee
has acted favorably on the amend
ment
Colby's proclamation is only a tech
ncal final step in ratification TO the
amendment. but practically the sole
efforts Of suffragists are now centered
on bringing about conditions so that
he can issue it, Their opponents are
trying TO prevent this
Until COlby's proclamation IS issued
the amendment is not a part OF the
constitution, even though 1t has been
ratified by the necessary thirty-slX
state. Once it is issued, however, sur
fragists believe further legal attacks
have small chance OF success.
At the National Woman's party
Headquarters today il was said that
all arrangements to rush Tennessees Is
certiflcation to Colby have been made
The arrangements will be carried out
as soon as the injunction preventing
Governor Roberts from issuing the
states certiflcation Of ratification is
