MAY ACT
 JOINTLY TO BRING
 SUFFRAGE VICTORY
United Action On Amend ment At Nashville
 Likely.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 1O.-Pre- liminary steps looking toward joint action by republican and democratic members of the Tennessee senate ifavoring ratification of the federal woman suffrage amendment were taken late today at meeting of leaders of the democratic ratification forces in the upper house. A com mittee of democratic members was appointed to arrange a meeting with republican leaders and it was ex- pected a conference would be held some time tomorrow. in addition to the appointment of this committee, Senator Haston, was selected demo- cratic floor leader for the contest.
 Senate and house re2ublicans will caucus tomorrow morning.
 The joint ratification resolution was introduced today in the senate and house and under the rules went over with the leaders planning to re- fer it to committee tomorrow. There was much speculation as to when a vot con ratification would be reached. The committee, it was said, probably would arrange joint public hearing Thursday or Friday night. The resolution might be reported the fol- lowing day and go to vote immed- lately. Some solons believed the is sue would be settled by the end of the week but others were of the opin- ion vote would not occur before next week since speaker Walker de- clared today that an attempt in the house to rush matters would not be permitted.
 MT. Walker announced today that he would oppose ratification and his defection from the ranks of the suf- fragists occasioned much discussion. He had been regarded as staunch suffragist and it had been planned that he would introduce the ratifica- ton resolution in the house.

Taylor carried Hot Springs county, 879 to 453, 16 out Of 25 precincts show.
 Haynie led the gubernatorial ticket.

Returns from the twelve counties in the sixth congressional district extremely meagre early this morning indicated that Congressman Sam M Taylor of Pine Bluff, is being closely pressed by L. E. Sawyer of Hot Springs for the nomination.
 Early today returns received by The Graphic and by MT. Taylor justi- fled the statmeent that the Pine Bluff man is leading. In Jefferson MT Taylor's majority will be large, as it probably will be in Desha, Drew and Cleveland and Dallas.
 In Saline, in Garland, Sawyer's home county, in Lonoke and Hot Springs, however, it is considered probable that MT. Taylor will be re- turned on the short end of the count though this is not certainty
 In Hot Springs early reports last night indicated that MT. Sawyer was leading by about to 1, which is considered extremely favorable for MT. Taylor, as it was predicted that Sawyer would be returned by much larger majority there.
 In Arkansas partial reports last night were surprising. They showed that Sawyer, on the strength of par tial returns from the county dis tricts and two of the Stuttgart city wards, was leading MT. Taylor. The count then was 295 to 245.

P0LES' NORTH WING IS FAILING UNDER
 PRESSURE OF REDS
Weygand of French Army to Command the De-
 lenders

Berlin, Aug. 10-The north wing
 of the Polish army, intended to de- fend Warsaw on the north, is dis solving under pressure of the fourth
 Russian army, says special dis patch to the Vossische Zietung from the Prussian frontier.
 Accompanied by the first and sec
 ond Caucasian artillery corps, adds the dispatch three Russian divis- ions have crossed the foremost lines
 held by this north wing. The Rus
 sians are backed up also by eight infantry divisions and the third eau casian artillery corps. Their move
 ment supposedly is directed against
 Thorn.
 Up to this time the former Ger man boundary at the southern end of the Soldau sector has not yet been crossed by the Russian pa trols.
 Paris, Aug. 10.-General Wey- gand, of the French army, has been
 offered supreme command of the
 Polish forces by the Polish counccil
 of national defense, according to a Warsaw dispatch to the Havanas agency. The decision was taken at
 a meeting of the body called to dis
 ccuss the defense of Warsaw and the
 reorganization of the army London, Aug. 10.-Reports receiv- ed from Polish sources by the Ex- change Telegraph company's Am sterdam correspondent say Poland has accepted the offer of the Hunga- rian government to send few regi-
 ments to participate in the war a.
 gainst the bolsheviki. Hungary, it is said. is disposed to send some 10,-
 900 soldiers and war munitions and
 material and to place the Hungarian

Two Dead, Seven f
 Are Hurt in Wreck

Temple, Tex, Aug. 10.-Two uni identified stock men are dead and sev- en others missing as result of a rear-end collision of two westbound Santa Fe freight trains late tonight four miles west of Killeen, Texas.
 The first train broke in two and the second train crashed into the rear portion which was running wild ac- cording to local railroad officials. The crash occurred on the bridge crossing Cedar Creek and it is thought the stock men fell into the creek. So far no trace has been found of the missing men.

the nonpartIsan league succeeds in
gaining control of the state govern

through the same period which has
already brought the state of North
Dakota to the verge of bankruptcy.
In North Dakota the people are
struggling to free themselves from
a socialstie political machine which
threatens 70 entirely destroy individ-

This political machine is powerful
and plans - extend its control of
government, state by state, until the
entire nation is under socialistic
management.
The nonpartisan league succeeded
in North Dakota for the very simple
reason that it met no opposition The
business men and property owners OF
the state permitted Townley to carry
on his propaganda without interfer-

until it was too late and now they
are paying COR the mistake.

Friday Wood and Lowden had been

had only siXty-four votes on the frsr

There seems to be menace IN
everything. The apple orchards are
menaced and so are the wheat fields.
The production of gold is menaced
by its falling value-the government
price is $2067 a fine ounce and the
miners claim it costs $1,000 to mine
an ounce. Silver is menace be
cause the price is so high per ounce.
The railroads are menaced by strikes;
the men are menaced by low wages.
Newspapers are menaced by the high
price of paper; the paper mills are
menaced by the failing supply of
pulp wood. Business is menaced by
falling prices; purchasers are men
aced by rising prices, and so on ad
libitum. Let's cheer up and stop all
these menaces. All that is necessary
is for everyone to get busy and keep
