Alabama In Throes of
 Political Sensation

fGUMfIUUS0 but on the other hand the Ten nessee women, through their chairman, Mrs. Isaac Reese of Memphis, reiterate their for mer allegations and declare that the statements published in The Age-Herald Friday morning regarding the speech of Mrs. Jacobs were correct in every detail.
 And thus the matter stands. The men generally view the situation with an air of perfect calm, but the women are more or less wrought up over the situation. The violent partisans of Mrs. Jacobs are strong in their denun- citation of the attitude of the Tennes- see women and do not hesitate to charge that politics of the deepest dye is at the bottom of the whole matter. In fact, they even go further and de- clare that the fact that Mrs Jacobs
  ing in preference to the Tennessee dele gates, who had already gained presi- dental suffrage, had something to do with the present situation.
 SAYS STORY WAS CORRECT
 Following the issuance of the state 1nent of Mrs. Jacobs in The Age Herald yesterday morning to the effect that she had not used the words 'ignorance' and superstition" word was received from Mrs Isaac Reese, suffrage leader of Memphis, to the effect that The Age Herald story of Friday morning had been correct in every detail She de- clined to discuss the prepared account of Mrs. Jacobs, but stated that the statements charged to Mrs Jacobs were made at the Chicago meeting. Mrs, Reese suggested that it was not i'm probable that Mrs. Jacobs, under the spell of the moment, had varied from her prepared speech.
 As matter of no small moment had to do with the song which was sung at one of the suffrage meetings in which was sung at one of the suffrage meet ings in which men of Alabama and the south were referred to as fossils This song was sung at q meeting sub sequent to the ratification meeting on Saturday night when Mrs. Jacobs made her address. It is claimed by the wom en of TeSneSsee that her addresS and her references to Senator Underwood and the south dominated the song. A copy of this song is published at the head of this story.
 The leader of the women of Tennes- see, who took the most offense at the remarks of Mrs Jocobs, was a Memphis woman. For that reason the story ir fhe Memphis Commercial Appeal. which was evidently inspired by. her. will be of no small interest in Alabama. The story follows:
 Mrs Jacobs speech at the banquet on the night of February l4, in which she made a violent attack, not only on the men of the state she claims as home, but upon the men oI the entire south was a bitter enough morse for the rep resentativss from Tennessee present al the banquet table to swallow in silence But the production of d song, writer with this speech as inspiration and sung by the suffrage forces at d second Ian euet on last Tuesday afternoon, was tho crowning insult.
 For this song derided and belittlec southern men in a fashion that was to tally repugnant to the majority of th southern women present, and especiall' to the Tennessee women, to whom th' men of .he state have already extended the right rand of suffrage so far as | possible under the limitations of the stat constitution.
