- The four things assigned aa the
chief reasons for Democratic defeat in
. A OUCHC. . in i
A state-wide! protest at the Boberta
administration largely because or. me
, , adoption of a tax law similar to the
revaluation aet ia Norta uaroiina.
A strong "spite" vote from anti-suf
frajriata because a Demoeratie legisla-
tare ratified the nineteenth amend
ment. -.j The massed strength of the Republi
- wtnti in East Teanessee.
The ailenee daring the campaign of
Senator Shields, whoso inactivity for
his party amounted -to open aid to tho
Republican ticket.
Governor Boberta. who was defeated
for re-election by Alt Taylor, himself
' extremely popular ia soma parts of
the State enUide of his own party,
- was unpopular with the Tennessee vot
: era oven before he called a special
testier, of the legislature last August to
past tJpos the suffrage amendment. A
tax law, simiUt to the North Carolina
revaluation aet,' bad placed bis ad
ministration ia bad favor both ia the
eitr and ia the rural sections.
BepabUcaa Women Toted.
Newsoaoer man located la Washing
ton with Tennessee connections pre
dicted last summer after Boberta called
tha special session to consider tne sui
frage amendment that be wonld be de
feated for re-election if the Bepubli
. named Taylor to oppose him.
They did not at that time, calculate
poa the National Be publican ticket
winning in tha state.
They did aot take Into aeeount the
nit number of Bepubliesa wanes
who would be enfranchised in East
Tennersee, the 'section of the 8tate
that ia contiguous to Western North
Carolina and more pronounced in its
Bepnblieaa leanings. Ia this part of
the State the women all voted while
in Western Tennessee tha Democrat!
women did aot register ia large num
bers. The proportion of womea who
voted U the West compared to the
woman vote ia eastern Tennessee was
mall indeed.
Strong Opposition To Suffrage.
Another potent factor in the Tennet
sec resnlt was the vote that was cast
as a rebuke to Demoeratie action oa
' tha aaffrage amendment. The bitter
ness of the light is still fresh ia the
minds of folks and even the .puerile
antics of the opposition will be remem
bered wherever the subject of final
i ratification is discussed. Demoeratie
voters who were opposed to suffrage re-
" tented this action ef tha legislature
and Democrats of tha Bute, explain
ing away their defeat now, admit pri
vately tkatthe nutter of ratification
would have beea overwhelmingly
beaten had it' been submitted to a
popular referendum. V .. ' '"
Probably mora important in consid
ering tha Tennessee result is the action
Anrina the campaign of Senator
Shields. Hit failure to lift a hand
or raise his voice for r tha Democracy
ia his Bute amounted to little less
than wonld apathy on the part of
Senator Simmons in North Carolina. It
cam be easily imagined what a luke
warm attitude oa tho part of the aea

aid to the enemy from bis subordi

Well DaSned Policies.
The leading delegations will go into
tho session! with a well defined policy
and surprises can come only from the
smaller states, whose delegations art
expected to exercise care not to as
sume the responsibility of provoking
conflict.

no lehance of any dangerous question
being raised by Japan. He declared
unfounded a report from Tokle that
