Memphis Lawyers GeneruIIy
Believe Amendment viii Stand

Leading attorneys OF Memphis. who
have given thought and study 10 the
probable effect on the suffrage amend
ment Of the rejection by the Tennessee
house OF representatives, gnerally agree
that the amendment win stand and that
women may vote nationally The anti
suffragists have carried their fight to
the supreme court of the United States,
and It is matter that is up to that
august tribunal to settle.
Judge Julian c. Wilson expressed the
matter In an interesting way Satur-
day morning, when he declared that no
man could tell the outcome until the
supreme court had settled 1t for good
and all. But Judge Wilson said the
high court can look at the matter in
three ways. They can regard It One,
that when the legislators concurred in
the passage of the amendment, the mat
ter was closed: fewo, that the action
stood for reconsideration until adjourn
ment of the house, or, three, that when
certain of the representatives bottled
and broke a quorum they abandoned
thetr right to reconsider. Judge Wilson
stated that the third view was the one
he believed the high court would take.
John ID. Martin said Saturday that,
