Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 18.--Ten
ntiM. today ratified the Federal »uf
frage amendment, the lower houte.
of the legislature by a vole of 6G U>
48 concurring in the action of the
aenaU, which last Friday adopted the
ratification resolution by a vote of
25 to 4.
Although It was thirty-sixth slats
to act favorably and the amendment
should become affective as soon
certified bv flainbridge Colby, Sec
retary of State, whether 17,000,000
women of the country would vote ir
the Presidential election in November
remained to be determined. The
house still has an opportunity to rve
cind its action and preliminary slap*
for tasting the legality of ratification
by the legislature. If rsconalderatior.
should fail to upsat it, alraady has
bean taken by the Tennessee Conati
tutional League on the ground Uiai
the assembly had no authority to set
Walker Cheap*. Hi. Vote
After tho ballet today Beth Wal
ker, speaker of the Hoa.r and leader
of the opposition, changed his vote
from "ao’* tn “aye” in order to avai'
himself of tba prlvilsga of moving for
reconsideration and announced that
he would do so Under the rules only
Mr. Walker can offer this motion and
it may he dona St say time be so de
sires. He must act, however, either
tomorrow or Friday.
AMMnu tor
Ninety-six of the ninety-nine mem
ber* of tho House were presort to
day. and the alignment, until a vote
on eonrurrenea was taken. wa* a tio.
each faction polling 48 votes on a
motion by Ur. Walker to tabic thr
resolution. On the ballot for concur
rence the lineup was 49 to 47 until
the speaker changed hi* vote. This
apparently would give the suffragists
an advantage of only two votae, but
their leader* declared tonight two
member* in favor of suff.xge, who
were absent today, would arrive prob
ably tomorrow rooming.
Tightaa Their Lias*
The motion to reconsider may be
carried by a majority rote of thr
member; present and since Mr. Walk
er can act without a moment's notice,
the suffragists expected to lie on hand
in full force during the next two
dsva It wa* evident the only hope
the speaker had of overturning to
day’» action w»« through dcsertioni
from the suffrage ranks or failure of
tho auffnagist* to have virtually every
member present until the House ad
jnurns Friday. The suffrage leader
declared they expected no defections
among their forces, but a» a precau
tion they were tightening their linen.
• The opposition leaders tonight were
waging an active campaign in an ef
fort to incrcaae their strength at the
expense of their antagonists.
Dramatic Conclusion
The end came with dramatic sod
dannos*. Debate on thr motion to con
cur had been in progress little mo.**
than an hour ana there was no ind
ration a vote was Imminent when
Speaker Wslkvr called Representa
tive Overton to the chair and tool:
the floor to reply to a suffragist. who
had charged that special- inter-Me
were at work to defeat ratification.
