EYES OF SUFFRAGE TURN TO TENNESSEE

The Tennessee legislature will open in extraordinary session today, August 9, to consider ratification of the federal suffrage amendment. With thirty-five states already having acted favorably and with ratification by only one more state necessary for woman suffrage to become effective throughout the nation, suffrage and anti-suffrage workers from all parts of the country have gathered at Nashville prepared for what is considered, as the most important contest a general assembly has faced since congress passed the suffrage ratification to the states.
