in both cases, little bunch trying to
hold up an amendment to the federal
constitution.
1t is not clear the Tennessee alb
sconders will succeed, however. No less
an authority than Charles E. Hughes
says the amendment was ratified when
the Tennessee house voted last Friday
to ratify and there is no provision for
reconsidering. If that be true these 81
members of the Tennessee legislature
appear more like boys who have been
stealing apples than men performing
their duty. 1t will be an ineffacable
disgrace if persons of such ealibre can
prevent American womanhood from ex-
ereising the rights of full citizenship.
