THE MAN WHO REFUSES TO
KNOCK

You've heard of a fellow refusing to
drink, and of others refusing to
eat,
You've heard of a fellow refusing to
smoke and a fellow refusing
seat.
There's men who are famed for re-
refusing to run for Office safety
or pelf,
But here is a scraw1 for the man who,
of all, has the finest control of him
self.
I speak of the man with a clamp on
his voice, whose talking is tight un-
der lock;
The man with a muller attached to
his mouth=the man who refuses
to knock.
The man who won't knock is a curl
Gus chap. He often goes out with
the crowd,
Where grouches are aired and the
grievances barred in fauIt-fndings
candid and loud;
Where only his friends are around
him to hear the hurts that he prob
ably feels,
And everyone reve1s in woes and com
plants and mention Of villainous
deals;
or and zest on anvi1s that shudder
and rock;
Yet calmly and firmly he passes his
turn, the man who refuses to knock

SUFFRAGE LEADERS PLAN

In Columbia the Ratification of

WYATT A. TAYLOR

Columbia. August 16.--Suffrage
leaders and workers. now members OF
the League of Women Voters, are ex-
pecting a big week. with ratification
by the Tennessee legislature of the
suffrage amendment is the center of
interest. III Tennessee ratifies big
events will probably happen thick and
fast In South Carolina and the women
will lay their plans for voting in the
coming elections.
Attorney General Wolfe stated to-
day he would render an opinion for
Governor Cooper this week, regarding
the requisites for women voting in the
General Election in November. The
opinion will be in reply to point raised
by Hon. Thomas p. Cothran. speaker
|of the House OF Representatives. that
there might be necessary an extra ses-
sion of the legislature to enact laws
not contrary to the federal election
laws under The amendment. The at
torney generals opinion will probably
hold that no new legislation Is nee
essary. that the amendment to the ma
tional constitution will supervene unof-
fcial opinion. All that will be neces-
sary for the women to vote in the
general elction. 1t will probably be
held. will be for the governor to is

brate in, Columbia the ratification at

GERS OF the state League of Womer
Voters have arranged with city officials
Columbia for the blowing OF whis les
and ringing of bells in case the
am endment gets the vote of the Ten
nessee house OF representatives.
The suffragettes Of tho state are al
so hoping to vote iH the primary OF
August 81, in case Tennessee ratifies
this week. Hon. John Gary Evans, of
Spartanburg. national Democratic ex-
ecutive committeeman. has told the
League OF Women Voters officers that
he will urge Chairman Cothran, of the
state Democratic executive committee
to call a meeting OF that committee,
for the purpose OF arranging a spec
ial convention. to amend the party
rules. so as'to allow the women to vote
In the primary. II is h0ld by promi-
nent Democrats that the party could

I'm South Carolina, II the amendment
to the federal constitution is ratified.
There was an unwritten understanding
at the adjournment of the state Demo-
cratic convention in May that IL the
amendment were ratified. then would
be the time to amend the party rules
I'm South Carolina.
Chairman Cothran has raised the
question that such procedure would be
contrary to statute. The matter As be-
Ing investigated and some decision
Will probably be reached by Demo
cratic leaders i'm n few days. Friends
OF suffrage contend that the machinery
could be operated quickly SO as to pro-
vied for the voting Of the women on
August 81. Those who do not favor
women voting contend that there Isl
not sufficient time. The week ahead is
regarded as crucial by the women of
the state who want the ballot.

VOTES FOR WOMEN
Tennessee Legislature Ratifys Suffrage Amend
nlent
CARRIES BY THREE VOTES
Seventeen Million Women Nav Vote For Pres-
Dental Candidates
CARRIES BY THREE VOTES

Nashville, Aug. 1S.-The ratifica-
ton of the federal suffrage amend
ment was complete today with the fa-
vorable action by the Tennessee house
of representatives.
The vote was 40 to 46.
The senate had previously ratified
the amendment by a vote of 25 to 4.
Speaker Walker in an attempt to
have the action reconsidered changed
his vote from nay to aye and moved a
reconsideration. Speaker Walkers
change made the ratification vote so
to 46.
The house adjourned until tomor-
row when Speaker Walker will be
privileged to ask for reconsideration.
The action of Tennessee allows IT,
100000 women to vote in the presi-
Dental election, unless the house
should rescind it's action tomorrow.
Columbia, August 17--That the sta
tute law of South Carolina precludes
the possibilities of state Democratic
convention changing the primary in
South Carolina in any way in order to
allow women to vte in case Tennes-
see ratifies the 10th amendment, is
the opinion Of H. N. Edmunds, secre-
tary of the state Democratic executive
committee. Mr.. Edraunds was asked
yesterday about the calling of con-
vention to reopen the club books or to
postpone the primary in order that the
women might register in case the Ten
nessee acts favorably on the suffrage
amendment and his reply was that
Whatever might be the, wishes of any
person the state law settles the whole
question and neither can the books he
reopened or the primary postponed.
Columbia, S. c., Aug 1S--The wo-
men OF the state will be allowed &c
vote in the November general cleo
tions according to an opinion rem
dered today by attorney general
wore. Mr.. Wolfe holds that the
state election laws referring to male
