EXTRASESS|ON
NOW CERTAIN
Governor Will Call Legislature
Regardless Of Nomination,
Supporters Say.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 5.-work-
ers at the campaign headquarters OF
Gov. A. IL. Roberts said today that
the governor undoubtedly will issue
the call for the special session of the
Tennessee Legislature tomorrow
night Immediately after the primary
election, regardless of whether or not
he Is renominated.
1t now is believed that the subject
matter OF the call probably will have
a greater bearing on the suffrage
night than the result OF the primaries
The governor and his friends are
guarding the text of the call with
jealous care. but IL has leaked out
that the proclamation probably will
ask consideration OF several matters
bound up with the politics of the
State. Two questions prominently
mentioned are a police bill. objec-
uonable to the labor unions, and
reassessment measure, which has rg-
ured prominently in the primaries.
Should either of these bills get upon
the moor OF the Legislature, politi-
clans OF all persuasions declare that
Ill line-ups hitherto made on the sur,
frage question will go into the dis
card in the resultant jockeying and
trading.
PRIMARY FIGHT BITTER.
Old timers say that the Democratic
gubernatorial primary has been the
most bitter in the history of Tennes-
see politics since the Carmack-Pat-
terson feud of zoos. Woman suffrage,
however, has not been the chief issue
In this fight, as was prohibition in the
former. Politicians of all creeds de-
clare that suffrage has cut no figure
thus far and that real suffrage lines
will not be drawn until the caucuses
just prior to the first session of the
legislature Monday.
The chief primary fight is between

These figures constituted a gain of

White produced proof" gathered
through third parties that a suf-
