Nashville, Tenn. Aug. 1.-THE Ten

% to 4. adopted the resolution provid-
ing for ratification Of the federal suf-
frage amendment. Even the most OPP
timistic Of the suffrage forces were
surprised at the large majority. Sew
enteen votes were necessary, but most
polls had listed from 20 to % as favor
able.
The suffragists, certain Of ratifica-
ton by the senate. have proceeded
from the beginning of the legislative
session with the idea that the real
fight would be in the lower house, and
the senate vote had hardly been an
nounced before the workers were re-
doubling efforts to secure favorable
action by the representatives. The
house adjourned yesterday until Mon
day afternoon without reference to
suffrage, but it was stated later the

the victory of suffrage supporters in

merely marks the beginning of an ex.

The suffrage leaders were given
