March 3o.-Wom n suffrage advocates in the Mississippi Legislature tonight were jubilantiy teleSraphing, telephoning and other wise notifying absentee supporters to hurry 10 the capitol for action in the lcwer house on the federal woman suffrage amendment The senate to- day passed resolution of ratifica , ton, reversing previous action and putting up to members of the lower house the question as to whether or not Mississippi would go on the list of states favoring nation wide woman suffrage
 The vote today was close, 1t being necessary for Lieutenant Governor casteei to break up tie by casting l ballot In favor of ratification. Ac- ton of the senate apparently came as q great surprise to opponents of wo- man suffrage. great number of leg :slators were absent and plans had been made to adjourn the assem- mbly Saturday night. Hope of ratifying the amendment was about abandoned by it's supporters
 Supporters of woman suffrage, when the senate defeated ratification reso- ,ution earlier in the session. announced that they were certain had the reso- lution gotten 10 the lower house it would easily have passed
 A bin permitting women to vote in primary and general elections already has been passed The law would be effective In the event national wo- man suffrage came to pass.

DEMOCRATS NOW READY ID FIGHT PEACE RESOLUTION Resolution Would Put U. s. In Attitude of Suing De- feated Power for
 Peace
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Ase- Herald
 500 Davidson Building

Washington, March 30.-(SpeciaL)- When the President instructed House democrats to oppose concurrent resolu- tion of peace, the democrats with few exceptions planned a revolution. But since the truth has seeped in that a concur rent resolution would put the United States in an attitude of suing Germany, a defeated power, for peace without even suggestion that Germany would heed such d hint. the democrats have deter mined to pursue other tactics.
 The republican party is committed to a concurrent peace resolution. The dem oeratic party is moved by the plea of business that it wants a status of peace. But as neither organization can function
 in this regard without the other, the in dications tonight are that there will be consultation between the two as to toe wisest method which might be pursued
 As a result it would cause little sur prise were both parties to enter into an agreement one by one to repeal the stat utes which were necessary in time of war. This programme when completed, it is pointed out, would eliminate a rather ner- |vous tension indicative of on-comng chaotic conditions in business, without disturbing the status quo respecting the United States and Germany.
 Speaking for the democratic party in the Senate, Senator Underwoo today said There is no question but that the country demands peace. Under the Yer saiiles treaty Germany recognized our right to $700, ,001000 obtained by sale of German property in the United States. If We abandon the Versailles treaty with out adopting another of similar import. under previous international agreements we will be responsible to Germanw for all German property we seized during the war. A concurrent resolution of peace, for that reason. and for the additional reason that it would mean nothing to Germany, would be folly"
 Senator Underwod added that Congress might safely repeal war legislation and await the time when the Versailles treaty might be satified, which time. he holds. will follow the elections this fall.
 The demand for peace through some process has stirred the democratic man. bership of the House to it's foundation. Representative Blackmon of Alabama be- fore leaving Washington for home stated |that he would return in time to partic- |pate in the peace debates. Representa- tive Crisp of Georgia unhesitatingiy said would work for peace along lines of wis dcm.
 .sAlthough the armistice was signed eighteen months ago." he said. i've arc still at war because of stubbornness on the part of the President and the Senate. Business of the country demands peace and we must have peace.
 T do not commit myself to any cer- tain resolution or any certain method. But am for an early peace superinducea by intelligent action. In other words, 1 am against continuing a technical state of war solely for political reasons"

 He declared he had refrained hitherto from entering into partisan political dis cusion pending clariHcatioR- of diverging views on the great new issues. but that recent developments in the treaty situa- tion "stagnation in economic adjust ments and urgent representations re- garding the situation in California had impelled him to confirm the action that my republican friends there have already taken without consulting me"

 TEXT OF TELEGRAM
 T had not wished to enter, nor could I hitherto see any real public service in entering lnto paftlSs%u poiltlcdi aiScuS- sion, more especially pending the clariii- cation of the diverging views of the diff ferent groups in the parties in the great new issues.
 'eThe recent developments over the treaty, stagnation in adjustment of our great economic problems and particularly the many urgent representations that have received as to the situation in my own state, convince me that 1t is my duty to confirm the action that my republican friends there have already taken without consulting me.
 T understand that there is q great wish among the republicans of California tn have opportunity 10 express thetnselNes in favor of the League of Nations with proper reservations safeguarding Ameri- can traditions and interests as opposed to the extreme view advocated against any league at all. differ just as strongly
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-03-31

With this view as l differ with the eA- treme position taken by the President on participation in purely European ar- fairs. This issue is, whether, with reser- vation protecting our position, we should join the moral forces of the world to reduce the dangers again growing around us, or whether we will, by pretense of an insuiarity that we do not possess, sit by in the face of growing armies, navies. national antagonism, reaction, or in re- verse, the spread of bolshevism through much of the world. This would be the defeat of the hopes for which our sons were sacrificed in this war
 STABILITY ABROAD
 Entirely aside from this moral ideal ism of the league and the danger to our own ultimate peace. the solution of our domestic problems. such as the size or our armament, reduction in taxation and
 the prevention of agricultural and indus
 trial depression and consequent unem-
 ployment, is dependent upon stability
 abroad and upon our access to the world s markets, which today are endan-
 gered by discrimination against us through bur inability to exercise our veto
 under the treaty. belive it is the trans
 cendant service which the republican,
 party can render to the nation to set tie a league efficiently designed to give
 us these national projections.
 No one should be able to dictate the policies of great parties, vet every man and woman has right to decide what issues and measures he win support. II the republican party-with the independ- ent element of which I am naturally af-
 hliated-adopts a forward looking, lio- eraI constructive platform on the treaty and on our economic issues, and if ths party proposes measures for sound busl- ness administration of the country ana is neither reactionary or radical in US approach to our great democratic ques- tions and is backed by men who undoupt- edly assume consummation of these poll ,cies a,4 measures, will give it my en- tire support. While do not and will not myself seek the nomination, if 1t is felt that the issues rlecessitate it and 1t is demanded of me, I cannot refuse service.
