the South to cease being the backyard
of civilization and creation" The argu-
ment that the South was different from
the remainder of the country he said,
was Incorrect. He was referring to So
called sectional prejudices against suf-
frage.
He discussed the influences opposed
to ratification, aRd quoted a statement
by Farley p. Christensen, Farmer-La-
Dor party candidate for president that
certain powerful interests from other
sections of the country were behind the
movement. Mr.. Riddick did not attempt
to identify them. b.
The question on constiutionality OF ac-
ton on ratification by this legislature
swas discussed at length.

The ruling OF Attorney General
Thompson, Of Tennessee, that major
ity of the members present would be
sufficient for the house to ratify or

Of conferences between members as de-
bate proceeded. Until this ruling was
made several days ago 1t had been ex-
pected so of the total of 80 votes in
the house would be necessary. .,

votes the majority was expected TO
claim the victory while 1t was certain
the minority would oppose such a
move.
II less than so votes were cast for
ratification the speaker was expected to
rule that ratification had failed for

fragists were expected to appeal from
the ruling and a majority of those vot-
ing was necessary to sustain the
speaker.
