draws His Leave Us Alone
Resolution.

Nashville. Aug. ia. P)-Th,
story resolution, defeated In the house
was based on the principal contention
, lnat there was doubt as regards the
iegallty OF action by this legislature
that ratification would make court ac-
tlon certainty and that "people OF
the nation would fear conditions aris-
ing from procedure, irrespective OF
party. 1t also was declared, that since
the women OF Tennessee already had
amendment would give them no addi-
tlonal privileges before 1921.
There was little debate on the mo-
tion TO table, and the majority on the
aye and may vote was so clearly
evident, no roll call was ordered.
Senator McFarland's resolution In the
upper house, aimed at visiting pro and
antisuffrage workers, and which would
request the lobbyists ito please go
away and let us alone; we
would much prefer your room to your
company" was withdrawn when IL
came up in regular order of business

Quoted by the senate and house COM
mittees on constitutional conventions
and amendments, to which the joint
resolution was referred, ~as
one of the principal topics of discus
sion today. The majority of each COM
mittee, it was said was certain to act
favorably in reporting the resolution
tomorrow, but minority reports also
were expected. Suffrage leaders, how
ever, said the issue was "out of the
woods" and ratification was cer-
.ainty. United States Senator Nickel
ar declared the question now was just
how large a majority the suffragists
would run up in each house.
With tomorrow set for n vote on rati- |
ication in each house, there was much |
comment on the fact that It. will be
Friday, the 18th. Some of the anti |
uffragists were confident the day
would be a "hoodoo'' for the ratifica-
ion, but a spokesman of the suffrage |
orces smilinRly assured opposition |
