Decatur, Ala, Aug. 23.-Members Of
the Tennessee house OF representa-
tives here today Issued formal
statement addressed to the people of
Tennessee, setting forth their reasons
for breaking quorum in the house
by leaving the state. It bears the
signatures of thirty seven members,
of whom twentgsseyen are democrats
and ten republican,, The statement
said,
We are convinced that the methods
which were adopted to secure the
passage Of the resolution were i'm
proper and not, justified.
I'VE believe that the majority Of
the people OF Tennessee do not favor
the ratification of said amendment.
We felt to have ratified said amend
ment would have been to surrender
the sovereign rights Of the state on
the question of suffrage, which is one
OF the most important and sacred
rights conferred, and the only defense
that the Tennessee people had at this
1uncture rested In our hands, and the
only way that we could serve was to
take the course that we have taken.
Call For Mass Meeting.
1T is our purpose to remain outside
the borders Of the state for reason
able time until the people OF the
state may have an opportunity to
express themselves in the premises,
and we, therefore, urge that in the
several counties OF the state the peo-
pie assemble in mass, meetings on
Saturday next, being the 2sth day of
August, 1920, and, by, proper resoIu-
tion, indicate their will IN the matter.
by which action members OF the Leg
islature, who, we think, are not corr !.
rectly representing the sentiments Of
their respective constituents, and the
governor OF the state may be ad-g
vised OF the wishes of the people and
admonished of the necessity Of con-
forming to their wishes as may be
indicated at said meetings"

Nashville, Aug. 23-Both factions

opinion the next step in the contro-
versy probably would be the hearing
on the writ of temporary junction is
sued Saturday by Judge Langford,
restraining state officials from certi-
flying ratification to Washington.
No date has been fixed for the
hearing. It was believed by some of
the principals, however, that the case
might be heard late today or to-
morrow. The write is returnable
within five days on agreement OF the
parties to the action.
The Tennessee Constitutional Lea
que, which brought the suit has an
nounced it will carry Its fight, il
necessary, to the United States

predict the injunction will prevent
women Of the nation from voting for
at least eighteen months.

and blown up a bridge in a strike
at Minneapolis.
The resolution expelling Estey was
so worded as to include other men,
