legislature, urging them to vote for
woman suffrage when a ballot is
taken on ratification of the national

acceptance address August 7, is fore
cast by Mr. White. He says:
"Governgr tox: will make his speech
of acceptance on Atugust 7. It would
be most pleasiig to him and to Dem
oerats throughout the nation If we
had the asauranoe from a majority of
the Tennessee legislature in the
forthcoming special session of their
intention to make Tennessee the
thirty-sixth State to ratify the suf
frage amendmetqt, tilus ineuring, the
enfranchisement of the women of
America. As new chairpian of the
Democratic national commpitt'ee, I in
vite your co-operation in th3is, great
progressive movement."
Strong pressure is byeing brought to
bear upon Republican members of
the Tennessee legislature to give a
unanimous vote for ratificatton, ac-|
cording to advice. received at theI
headquarters of the National Wopn
ans Party. A letter has been sent
by Hal H.' Clements, Tennessee State
chairman of the Republican party, to
all Reputbliein legislators, urging
them to pledge their vote.unreserv

in part:

time in more than two years, wheat

WILSON GOING OUT
OF SHEEP BUSINESS
White House Shepherd Offers
"Royal" Flock to Highest Bid
der as Moving Day Nears.
Woodrow Wilson, sheep rancher, is
about to sell out. and it wAM be what
might be termed a forced sale, be
cause he is being diupossessed of
the ranch, admittedly the foremost
sheep grase of the country-to wit,
the White House grounds. So the
celebrated Wilson cheep go on the
auction block.
Finding a buyer for this distin
guished flock of wool-producers is not
going to be so easy, however. Many
sI veteran of the sheep-raicing game
will hesitate, to burden himself with
these animals with appetites for lux
uriec only as grass goes. Furthermore
they have been accuced of tempera
mental tendencies.
That their "royal" curroundin gs
have failed to affect their wool-grow
ing powers has been attested to.
though, by Red Cross and Y. M. C. A.
workers, whose organisations have
alway, profited at cheating time
(brough Mrs. Wilson's generosity.
And stili the Wilson ranch activities
hav'e not been without profit. Here's
the secret:
Early in 1917 the President. anxious
to set an exampie in wartime produc
tion of necensities, purchased eight
een head of thoroughbred sheep. To
day, with the nloc offered for sale.
the bill of particulars specifies forty
eight head.
Notice of the sale went out today.
No one has even hinted that Governor
James M. C'ox of Ohio and Senator
Warren G. Harding of Ohio wifl enter
into any spirited competition for pos
session of the dlock. General belief
is that they will confine their efforts
to the contest for possession of the
"ranch."
As the ranch appears destined to
fall into the hands of one or the other
of the Ohioans, the problem then
comest Who will undertake to accli
mate these cheep to an ordinary gruse.
where spears of grass are as scarce
as visitors have been on the White
House grounds since the same cheep
took possession there?
How the sale is to be effected. sni!
when and where, are details yet to be
mrade public hy the President. Some
still embittered against the Admin
istration over the attempts to sell
the ships at ridiculously low prices,
have suggested the plan of etteating
a 'sheeping board" for that puarpose.
