Suffrage Aims.

Washington, Aug. 19.-The first aim of voting women should be the passage of a blanket enactment to remove "aH discrimination against them in existing legislation" Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the National Woman's Party, said today.
 AS instances of discrimination, she cited state laws which place the cus- tody of children exclusively in the hands of theirs father and state laws which, as now drawn, make women ineligible for public office. Women who marry aliens lose their citizen ship and thus their vote, she pointed out, while the status of men who marry aliens is unaffected.
 Unless women are willing to or- ganize to oppose parties and candi- dates opposed to their measures, they will make little headway in fighting these inequalities" she added.
 Nashville, Tenrk,, Aug 19.-One vote cast in the Tennessee house in favor of ratifying the federal suffrage amendment today stood in the way of certifcation to the secretary of state that Tennessee as the necessary Beth state had completed ratification of the amendment in time for women of the country to vote at the Novem- Der elections.
