Show , WOMEN WILL URGE LEGISLATURE MEETING ! SAN' FRANCISCO, June 30. Women Wom-en advocates of equal suffrage decided today not lo attempt to induce Govcr-jnor Govcr-jnor Roberts of Tennessee to advance the date of his proposed call of a special spe-cial session of his legislature to consider con-sider ratification of suffrage, but rather to urge that ho issue the formal call Immediately. He has said he would call the session for August 9. Democratic women delegates at a caucus left the advislblllty of advancing advanc-ing the call lo tho women members of tho Tennessee delegation and thev vetoed tho proposal but decided to urge upon the legislature the wisdom of ratifying the amendment. The gravest fear of the suffragists now Is that Republican members of the Tennessee legislature may block ratification of the amendment as did Democratic members in Delaware. To thwart this, thev say. thev will thmw their strongest forces Into Tennessee Immediately. Members of the North Carolina delegation dele-gation today telcgrahped the governor of their Btato and members of the legislature an urgent request to take Immediate action on tho amendment. A letter writing campaign will follow |
