Harding's Last Message

Nashville. Tenn, Aug. 1S,-On all
sides today was discussed the prob
able effect uuon the republican mem
bers of letter from Senator Hard
ing. republican presidential nominee
read at the committee hearing by
Judge G. n. Tillman, in which the
senator declared that members OF the
general assembly cannot ignore the
state constitution
Senator Harding's letter was in re-
ply to a communication from Judge
Tillman, former republican nominee,
for governor OF Tennessee, VINO eX-
planned in detail in contention of those
declaring that the constitution pro-
hibited action by the legislature. Judge
Till,nan is one Of the leaders Of those
opposing ratification on this ground
Senator Harding was asked if he had
been quoted correctly in expressing
the hope that republican members OF
the legislature would vote for ratiti'
cation, only if they should feel they
could rightly do so.
II heard something about the con-
StltullOndl llllDltlOil slbd4lSt SOui - >
islature acting on the federal amend
ment." the senator wrote, but | did
not know Of the explicit provision
TO which you make referendum. /
quite agree with you that members
of the general assembly cannot ignore
the state constitution.
81 did say and l still believe 1t
would be a fortunate thing for republi'
cans to play their fun part in bring
ing about ratification. l should be
very unfair to you and should very
much misrepresent my own conVlc'
tions if I urged you to vote for rau-
fication when you hold to a very
conscientious belief that there is
constitutional inhibition which pre-
vents your doing so until after an
election has been held
Il do not want you to have any
doubt my belief in the desrability oil
ratification" the senator concluded
but | am Just as earnest about eX'
pressing myself in favor of fidelity to
conscience in the performance Of
public service"
Senator Harding's letter was dated
August 10 and was read only after
Judge Tinman had received telegraph
ic permission from the nominee. A
majority Of the republican member
shin of the legislature is conceded to
favor ratification.

SUFFRA CISTS N 4 RK n c
TIME WHILE TENNESSEE
HOUSE DEFERS ACTION
Nashville, Tenn, August 49,
The Tennessee senate today rati-
fled the woman suffrage amend
ment.
The vote was yes 25; no 4.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 13.-It was
regarded as a certainty early today
that the Tennessee legislature would
not settle the question Of ratifica.
ton of the federal woman suffrage
amendment today as planned by suf-
fraGe leaders.
The senate was expected to vote
on ratification, but the house, un.
less it should be agreed to take the
ratification resolution from the com
mittee on constitutional conventions
and amendments, was not expected
to act until next week.
The miscarriage of plans Of suf-
frage leaders resulted from a decis-
ion Of the house committee last
night TO defer a report on the reso-
luton until Monday, in order that
the committeeman might have more
time for consideration. Chairman
Gwin Of the senate committee which,
with the house committee, conducted
u joint hearing on the resolution,
announced it would make favor
able report today. Speaker Todd Of
the senate, said yesterday that body
would adopt the resolution within
an hour after it convened today.
Another issue which served fur.
ther to becloud the question OF legal
ity OF ratification presented Itself
Attorney General Thompson had
given to Representative L D. Miller
Of Hamilton county, n written opin.
ion. declaring that majority Of the
members of each house present is
sufficient to adopt the resolution
Heretofore it had been taken for
granted that the constitutional ma
.iority, II Of the senate, total of 80,
and so Of the house total Of 80 votes,
would be necessary.
Twothirds Of each house consti.
tutes a quorum to pass upon amend
-nent, Mr.. Thompson said, adding
that action is political and non-leg-
islative, according TO a ruling Of the
state supreme court, and that the
measure does not require the gov
ernors signature.
The other question Of legality,
upon which was based virtually all
the argument last night at the COM
mittee hearing, hinges upon the con-
tention that the Tennessee constitu-
ton prohibits action on the amend
ment by q Legislature, unless the leg
islature had been elected after the
proposed amendment was submitted
by congress.

Would Arm WOrEmen

Moscow, Aug. 13.--That the armis-
tice terms drawn for Poland by SOW
let Russia include a clause demand
ing that the workers be armed as a
guarantee to the rights of the Polish
proletariat, was indicated in semi
official information gained here TO-
day.
1t was said that while Russia ack-
nowledges such a demand is unpre-
cedented in history, the soviet con-
sidoreC the action necessary for the
safety of Russia, and to provide 4
militia adequate for the national de-
fensc and which it would be impos-
sible TO use for imperialistic ends.
The general impression here is that
Poland will accept the armistice terms.

The call issued by local democrats

j. Is. Champion, T.. 3. Orr. James
Mathers, II. II. Brown and many
others arc urging every one they
meet to be on hand and enroll un-
der the banner Of the club in order
that every voter in the county may
be gotten to the polls on election
day.
The plans will be fully worked
out Monday night, and suitable com
mittecs appointed to work in every
precinct of the county. the ladies
will also be included in this work
and they will have some important
duties mapped out for them to do
during the campaign.
The total democratic vote cast in
the primary election ran close to
5000, and 1t is proposed to have
every one Of these ballots cast in the
general election and not let a Stacker
escape.
Two years ago when over $500
votes were cast in the primary, less
than 1900 were cast in the general
election. If the same condition pre-
walls this year there is grave danger
that some republicans will be filling
county offices.
One Of the prime objects OF the
big campaign club will be to see that
this does not occur.
