RALEIGH. y. c., August 10
North Carolina antisrnragcttes have
sent an cinissary to suffrage OPP
poncnts IN the Tennessee Legislature
i. was learned tonight. for the pur-
pose of affecting an alliance to de-
feat ratiilca;ion OF Federal womcn's
suffrage in the two States. either OF
which can become the necessary
suffrage in force.
The envoy, understood TO oe Rep
rescntativc W. w. Neal, OF Mcdowell
County. was instructed to give the
Tennessee Legislators the moral
spirit" OF antisuifraEists in tho low
or house OF the North Carolina AS
scmbly ana to assure them that suf-
fraSc could be defeated here RI II
can be defeated in Tennessee.
Leaders of the antisufrraEist fight.
which burst into new flame as a
result of tho coup, declined to dis
cuSs Mr.. Meals mission further than
to. express the belief that the move
has disabled the rudder OF the suf-
fraEe ship"
Mr.. Neal was expected TO return to
Raleigh before the Senate votes. The
upper house is scheduled to begin
consideration OF the ratification res
Olution Tuesday.
Wheel horses of the anti's said to-
night Mr.. Neal probably would bring
encouraging word" to the lcgisia-
tors here who oppose suffrage. They
indicated he would ocar definite in
formation as to the poll in the Ten
ncssee lower house and this. they
said. would he employed as mag
net to attract unaliEned Representa-
tivcS in AN attempted band wagon
movement.
on the other hand, suffrage sup
portcrs refused to believe the op-
position plan would get them any
thing" They viewed the move US
supplemental TO the round robin"
telegram sent 10 the Tennessee Leg
is!ature hearing the signatures Of
s!Nty-thrce of the l20 House mem
hers. and declared il would have
little more influence" The Tonnes
see Senate. in the face of the tclc-
gram, had ratified the Federal amend
mcnt by "a landslide vote, suffrage
workers pointed out.
There was the suggestion tonight
that in breaking open the fight from
the new angle, the an;isuTrage lead
crs may unintentionally force friends
OF tho amendment to appeal TO the
National Democratic organization di-
rect. Rumors thta such action was
contemplated, however, were denied.
