SUFFRAGE ACTION
Of LEGISLATURE is
+. HELD T0bE VALID
Tennessee Governor Notified
People Need Not Vote on
Ratification.

: Assistant Attorney General Frierson
has advised Gov. Roberts of Tennessee
that the legislature of that state
could ratify the suffrage amendment
without submitting the issue to the
people.
Mr. Frierson's- opinion, given orally
and in writing, both to Gov. Roberts
and the attorney general of Tennes-
see, was based largely on the decision
OF the United States Supreme Court in
the Ohio referendum case. In that
case the court held that ratification
OF amendments could be had only by
state legislatures or conventions. and
that provisions of state constitutions
tnat ratlncatlon be referred to a vote
OF the people confiicted with the fed
,eral Constitution
Interpretation Asked.
1t was said today that President Will
son asked the Attorney General for an
Interpretation of the Tennessee consti-
tuition with respect to ratification. Mr.
Frierson who is native of Tennessee
ruled that the Supreme Court decision
made invalid that section of the Ten
hessee constitution which provides that
any action on federal amendment must
be taken by legislature the members
OF which have been elected after the
amendment was submitted to the state
Special Session OF Legislature.
Gov Roberts decided to call q snecial
session of the legislature of that state
to act on the amendment. ACCORDING to
dispatches which reached here, after the
governor had received telegram from
President Wilson urging such action
IL would be real service TO the
party and to the nation" wired the

Miss Alice Paul, chairman of tho
womans party, said today that Gov
Roberts decision to call special ses-
sion of the Tennessee legislature to

BY n. O. MESSENGER.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-From
flowers and sunshine, perennial here
lis but natural and easy step to talk
of the women of the national conven-
ton and party councils. They are as
plentiful and as much in evidence as
the other two lovely heaven sent
gifts, but do not be misled into think
ing that they are as beneficent and
mild as the sunshine and flowers,
though quite as brilliant.
These ladies are a very practical,
hard-headed, logical. persistent - it
would be ungallant to say Obstinate
purpose. They know what they want
and are intent upon keeping everlast-
ingly at it until they get it.
They want a lot of things in the
platform. and will make life burden
to those who seek to Illustrate their
efforts They demand all kinds of
uplift reforms for the betterment of
women in work and in society, and
want protection for child labor. They
find themselves in rather a hostile
element here regarding child labor,
for the service of children in the as
paraguS beds and vineyards is essen
tial.
But, more than all, they are at
present bent upon baking the ambi-
tions of men aspiring to the presi-
Dental nomination whom they class
as inimical to nationwide woman
suffrage.
Armed With .'a Little List
They have "a little list of these men,
veritable blacklist, indeed. They
swear. not by distaff and spindle. but by
ballot box and thumbs down, that no
man who is on their blacklist shall be
nominated
They insist that, with their friends
and supporters among the male contin
gent. they can exercise the veto power
under the two-thirds ruLe>to prevent the
nomination of any man in their bad
graces.
These prospective candidates are al
ready on the blacklist of the women:
Vice President Marshall. Senator Carter
Glass, Ambassador Davis, Senator
Hitchcock and Senator Simmons. They
expect to add few from time to time,
they say.
Thus far neither Palmer nor Cox has
been classed with the black sheep.
Rumors of certain alleged unhappy
domestic relations of Gov. Cox are
whispered behind f1uttering fans in

SONS BLOOD SAVES
HIS FATHERS LIFE
T. P. Fortune Resting Well at
Hospital.

AS result of the TRANSMISSION of a
quart of blood from the veins of S.
p. Fortune to the veins of his father,
T. p Fortune, president of the For
tune-Ward Drug company, the lat
ter, is now resting well after a deli
cate, but successful, stomach opera
ton at CARLY Ramsay hospital Mon
day. Ia
An internal hemorrhage, the con-
sequence of weeks of stomach trou-
BILE, neeessitated the operation, which
physicians at the hospital declare
would have proved fatal had not the
sons sacrifice been made. The ad-
vanced age of the father, who is 72
years old, made the operation doubly
precarious. -
Nourishment of the aged patient
was only accomplished by the injec-
ton Of stimulants through the mem
braneous stomach walls. The son
consented to the TRANSMISSION Friday,
and the richness of his blood made
possible the sufficient recuperation
70 his father to undergo the operation
late Monday.
1t was found in the course of the
operation that an unusually large
abscess, probably the biggest ever re-
corded in medical history, had made
a two-inch perforation through the
stomach wall. Attending physicians
stated that such a perforation rarely
exceeded half an inch in width.
The son felt no i'll effects from the
operation, and was able to be up and
around within a few hours after the
TRANSMISSION.
