be a valid part of the eoaatitutioa of

Th question ia not a new one. In the
United States Senate, February S3, 1970,
there-was a detmta aver nt power of
BUM t recall it assent daw given
to a constitutional . amendment. . The
fifteenth jme&dment to the eonatitu

lution withdrawing Its assent. How-
aver, March 30, 1870, the Secretary of
Stat issued a proclamation declaring
that thia amendment hid been ratified
'y th necessary number of States, In
eluding New York.
It ia held her that the only way
Secretary Colby's proclamation can be
affected is by having adjudicated in th
inrta the question whether the. amend

It ia understood that Governor Hel
ton of 'Connecticut will soon call th
Legislature of . that State into extra

pose of ratifying suffrage but to enable
th State to put th suffrage of women
into effect It ia believed now that
the Republicans, aeeing that womea are
sure to vote, may aeek to take advantage
of th confusion raised by Tennessee by
having Connecticut ratify. By such a.
tioa they would attempt to deprive the
Uemerat or tne credit or ratineation.
But the women suffrage worker will
themselves make ne attempt to have

by the Chamber of Commerce of the
Uaited States by a referendum vote
was attacked as a "dishonest document"
in a statement by Samuel Gompers
made tonight, which aaid the executive
council of th Amerieaa Federatioa of
LaboB had eoaaidered the platform at a
recent meeting. :
'The entire declaration is a cunning
device calculated to create the imprca-
sioa of fairnes whfle wielding the fav
orite weapons of treachery, Mr. Gom
pers said. "It ia calculated to banish
trade onion organization while creat
ing the impression of acquiescence in
the actual desires of the workers.
kst the chamber of commerce has
gone outside of i legitimate field

' George White, recently elected chair
man of the Democratic organization,
sad Wilbur Marsh, its treasurer, both
tacked their candidate' assertion, and
in addition Mr. Marsh produced pho

Mr. v Marsh told Senator Eenyon,
chairman of th investigating commit
tee, that the original lists were "ithee
ia th hands of Governor Cox or tha
Department of Justice. Aaked why ther
had aot beea "turned over at one to
th attorney general's) offie a a besi
for possible proeeestioae, he replied t
"W considered-. taa.-n exeelieat.

had them only two weeks."
"WeU," said 8enator Kenyon, if any
of the signer of these list hav vio
lated th law, they ought tor b jailed

cans or democrat.
Other Wltaeasea.
Other witnesses today ware Parley P.
Christensen, aominee of th Firmer
Labor party; Guy T. Scott, treasurer
Of the Kepublican Congressional and
aeoatorial campaign eommttteea, aad W.
D. Jamison, hold orer, financial direc
tor of the Democratic aatlonal organi
zation. Mr. Jnmieson appeared at a
u:ght session, whieh waa ordered ia aa
effort to speed np the bearing.
Messrs. Whit and Marsh agreed that
th Demoeratio coffer were practically -empty,
but both hoped for better con
ditions soon. They said that th party
yet had ao campaign committee, no
finance committee and Mr. Marsh add
ed that the head of bureau had aot
yet been appointed.
Budget Not Excessive.
Tbey agreed also that there wa Both
Ing in th budget of S3,07.00t) ore-
rented on Moaday by Will Hays, ehalr-
man nt the Kepnbliran national commit.
ee, that -waa ia itself "evidence. of a
teeire to corrupt this Amerieaa ' elec
torate.' Mr. Ma rah thought the amount
aamed was aot excessive for a Republi
can campaign, but he aaid H would b
far more than was necessary ,for' a
Democratic effort to elect a1 president
inirera a Campaign Fn.
The officials differed aa to the amouat
needed for this year's campaign by their
party. Mr. White made a Strictly
personal estimate" ef $2,000:000. but
Mr. Marsh aaid this waa too high a -g-ure,
and that in the two months re
maining before election, 'as good a
campaign as the 1910 effort could be
conducted for $1,200,000. He said he
would "be very happy" with that amount
at the 'isposnl of the national commit
tee. The evidence confirmed previous
assertions that the 1016 campaign cost
the Democratic organization $2i300.nOO.
