WILSON -ASKED OPINION
Katiye Tennessean Bases Rul
ing for Own State on'Ohio
) Referendum Case.
Washington, June 24. (A. P.)
Militant Attorney.General Frier,
en ha advised Gov. . Roberta, of
TenneaMo, that the legislature of
. that atate could ratify the suffrage
. amendment without submitting the
Issue to the people,
, Mr, Frjerson'a opinion, given
orally and In writing both to Gov.
. Roberta and th . attorney-general
ot Tennessee, was based largely on .
the decision of the United States
supreme court In the Ohio referen
dum case. In that case the court
held that: ratification of, amend.,
menti could be had only by state
legislatures or convention, and that
provisions of state constitutions
that ratification be referred to a
vote of the people conflicted with
the federal Constitution.
-' It was said today that President
Wilson " asked the attorney. general
for an Interpretation of the Ten.
nessee 'constitution with respect to
ratification. Mr. Frierson. who Is a
' native of Tennessee, ruled that the
supreme court decision made In.
valid that section of the Tennes.ee
constitution which provides that
any action on a federal amendment
must be taken by. a legislature,
the members of which have been
elected after the amendment -wae
submitted to the state.
i Frierson. Opinion.
The White House today mad publle a
ietfeesent hv Resident Wilson to As
sistant Attorney-General Frierson on
the Tennessee suffrage question.
"A iconstttutlonal question has arisen
Jn Tennessee "with "regard to the power
of 'the legislature to act at once upon
the pending: suffrage amendment to the
rnn.iiiinii nf h United ' States, the
nresldent wrote. ''A member of; the.
Tennessee congressional delegation has
U requested th view' of the federal-ati-lthorltles
on that question and I would
bo very much obliged If you would look
Illnto the matter for me rind, let me have
lithe view of the, department, which 1
jwlll be glad to communicate to ine
(member of congress who has made'the
inmilry." . t
Mr. i Frlersop replied t
"1 bnv the honor-to

(I. N. S.) President Wilson

sion of the legislature to rat

Baker, of the national wo
man's party, declared today.
"If the president succeeds
in bringing 'about a special
session in Tennessee, suffrage
will be ratified and out of
sheer gratitude I believe that
the women of the nation will
flock to ' the democratic
party's support," Mrs. Baker
said.

New Hope lies in Tennessee.
Miss Sue Yfhtte Telegraphs
Mrs. Baker. t
San Francisco. June 24. The na
tional woman's party has found over
night new hope of national enfranchise
ment of. women ih time ror mem to vow
In everv state at the forthcoming presi
dential election. Mrs, Abby Scott Baker;
who is here to represent the party be
fore the democratta national conven
tion.' aald that the new hops lay with
a democratic state, Tennessee, and
that, unless the democrats gave the
women the needed ratification by the
thirty-sixth utate her party would fight
the democrats Just as it already plans
to fight the republican.
Mrs. Baker fallowed her announce
ment with the, direct throat that the
national woman'a party would affiliate
Its organisation with the proposed
third party if neither the democrats
nor the republlcana ratify the amend
ment in the remaining state needed.
The. sudden decision to put every pos
sible pressure upon the democrats to
get Gov. Roberts to call the Tennes
see legislature in special session is
based upon a series of legal opinions
that recent ' Kunrem court decisions In
the Ohio suffrage and prohibition ref
erendum cases open the way ror Ten
nessee to ratify at once repardless of
the provision of the state law that an
election must intervene between favor
able action In Washington upon pro
posed constitutional amendment and
ratification thereof by the state of Ten
nessee.
The Ohio decisions were. In essence.
that the Constitution has provided the
method of its own amendment and thai
state regulations for ratification which
change, conflict with or amplify this
method are in themselves unconstitu
tional.
Tennessee Leader Reports.
From Sue S. White. Tennessee state
chairman of the national woman's
party, Mrs. Baker tdajr received the
following telegram:
.'Best irgal authority believes thst
lie Ohio case sets aside the restriction

Ueneral Frierson,- member of the Chat-
anooga bar, who hits been In constant
correspondence with the Tennessee
attorney-general on the subject. 1 have
secured written opinions from Sen
ator Walsh, of Mnmana; from Joseph
Folk, former governor of Missouri, and
a former Tennessean. The state dem
ocratic convention on June t adopted
a Plank demanding that the governor

tax on women exercising the presiden
tial suffrage inthe November election
and requesting that the ratification be
Included , in the proclamation provided
it appears valid. As state chairman 1
have sent a formal request to Gov
Hoherls reniirstlng the special session."
"Previously." said Mrs. Baker, "we
have not blamed the democrats as we
have the republicans because we havt
tnken the nosftion of 'no arot. no can
do.' Now we see that the democrats
of Tennessee are Just as able to give
us the thirty-sixth state 'off their
shelves' as were the republicans to take
down and wrap up for us either Con
ncticut or Vermont. We believe- the
democrats will be quick to see the run

would affiliate with a third party If both
ihe democrats and renuhlirans dlsnn-
pointed their suffrage hopes, regardless
oi me piatrorm mnd personnel of that
party. Mrs. Baker first said that the
national woman'a party Would ask the
women to refrain from voting with

Mystery Cleared.
Chicago, June 14. The mystery sur
rounding the telegram sent by President
Wilson, to the railway labor board here
asking that settlement of the wage
controversy he expedited was cleared
loaay srter the White House had an
nounced the text of the mesage. Judge
R. M. Barton, chairman of the board,
said he received the telegram last Mon
day marked "Personal and confidential"
and had not onmmunlcated (x to other
members of the board.
The president, made his telegram
puniio following a visit of w. I,. Mc
Menlmen. denutv president of the Broth
erhood of Hallway Trainmen to White

White House that the denial of the rail

local unions to qcolnre outlaw strikes,
RAIL BOARD DIVIDED
ON WAGE QUESTION
Chicago, June 24. A well confirmed
report in circulation in labor circles to
day said the railway labor board was
divided three ways on the wage con
troversy, the labor group holding out
for an award, which both the company
and public representatives thought ex
orbitant, and the company group refus
ing to concede an award that the pub
lic group held reasonable. No message
from President Wilson asking for an
immediate decision on the wage ques
tion had been received when the board
resumed deliberations today. : While
conceding that each grop holds Its own
Ideas and thnt there is naturally a wide
devergence of opinion, George W. Han
ger of the board, declared today that
there was nothing In the present situa
tion to warrant the assumption that the
board faced a deadlock. There was
every Indication, he said, that a satis
factory agreement would be reached
within a reasonable length of time. .
Union le iders here, however were not
ao optimistic. They declared they, be
lieved the board would be wrecked on
the same deadlock that ended President
Wilson's attempt to settle the railroad
problem last winter through another
tripartite organisation.
Judge Barton, chairman of the board,
declined to comipent on this report. "It
takes time for nine men, representing
three different viewpoints, to agree on
anything'! 4i -old,- - .MMtscuM-.,
.. Text ef WHson's Letter,

The president's telegram was made
public after-W. L. McMenimen, deputy
president of the Brotherhood of Rail-
rp-.m.n hri rolled at thn White
House. Mr. McMenimen said that as
surance of the presioeni s euoris ioze
