The tables are gay with flowers
after the prodigal California fashion,

flowers In the belt, or pinned some

After breakfast they divide into
little groups and talk committees

they had been going to conventions
all their lives, but by noon they are
all divided up into separate parties

There's only one thing upon which

they want recognition, practical rec

they want IL, and how they expect to
get It,
No sweet words alone will do---the
women are a power at this conv~n-
tion. and they intend to let everybody
know that they are.
As far as that aspect OF the situs-
tion goes. they are as one woman and

went by good majority against

cafe, but never-no never in a politi-
cal convention.
Even the newspapers have had to
suspend for the nonce their we'll
known San Francisco rule never to
print in the news columns the picture
OF any woman more than thirty years
old, and there are those observers
who are rash enough to prophecy
that at some not far distant date a
woman editor of San Frencisco will
make a rule that. no picture of a man
more than thirty shall be printed in
her paper. all OF which hlls the heart
OF the woman delegate with kind of
unholy glee, and appears to saturate
the soul of the male delegate with
deep and dark foreboding.
Is this convention going to turn out
to be the great Armegeddon of the
war between the sexes, or will the two
sides Of the world-old fight join hands
at last and proceed about the world s
business like good brothers and sis
ters, like any two men, or any two
women?
That's what we're all watching to

SUFFRAGE PUZZLES
GOVERNOR ROBERTS
Tennessee Executive Faces
Dilemma on Question Of Extra
Session for Ratification.

Associate Editor the Mash Vile

NASHVILLE, June Ex-Governor
A. II. Roberts is expected to call .
special legislative session to ratify
the national suffrage amendment. but
his friends say that he will not issue
the call until his denomination IL as
sured.
President Wilson's request that
Tennessee be the thirty-sixth State
to ratify, thus giving the Democratic
party the nnal credit for suffrage rat
incation. has placed Tennessee's gov
ernor in a most embarrassing politi-
cal position.
The governor is so situated today
that II he is the instrument by which
the American woman gains her vote
he himself may lose the renon,ina-
ton for governorship, notwithstand-
ing that Tennessee is now overwhelm-
ingly Democratic.
GOvERNORR IN A QUANDARY.
This peculiar condition arose as fol-
lows: Two months ago an oppos-
ing political faction in the State party
demanded that the governor call
special session.
Roberts acauiesced on condition
that State Attorney General Thomp-
son ruled that 1t could be done. The
attorney general promptly ruled 9TH

party, agitated in favor OF Tennes-

ing composed equally OF men and

In retaliation resolutions were
passed calling for the repeal of a
state Utilities Control bill and the
amendment of a tax assessment act

ago by the legislature at Governor
