Small Politicians
Attempt Comeback
On Suffrage Issue
National leaders In the movement to
secure ratification of the equal suf
frage amendment that comes before
the legislature -when It assembles In
extraordinary session Aug. 9, eonfearsl
tneniselves frankly disappointed that
the. movement has assumed a factional
aspect.
Without exDresstna- anv criticism, the
leaders are v quietly making an effort
to convince the .people of the state
that the Issue la too bis to suffer a
the- hands of factionallsts who seem to
be making the most of the opportunity
to appoint themselves and their po
litical friends on "ratification commit
tees.
The Tennessee League . of women
bters ratification committee la
composed almost exclusively, go
far as -the men are concerned, or
those who were affiliated with Luke
Lea when he was thought to be a fao
tor in state politics. Tn almost every
county where appointments were made
inose Who were thus honored inaicateu
that somebody had lost sight of the
fact that "the world do move" and
that In the minds of some the delusion
was still harbored that Lea and Ex
Gov. Rye were still factors In politics.
The national leaders were quick to
scent the drift of things. With their
experience In many states they soon
discovered that there was an element
in Tennessee, as In other states, plan
ning to stage a comeback through a
manifestation of spectacular zeal In
favor of woman suffrage. In other
words they found an ex-element, with
out friends or influence in the legisla
ture, attempting not amy to get con
trol of the fight for ratification but us-lns-
everveffort to prevent other friends
of the cause from taking any part in
the campaign.
The situation Is attributable in large
measure to the fact that Mrs. George
F. Milton, of Chattanooga, wife of the
editor of the News, Is chairman of the
league. Mr. Milton ts one or tne tore
mo critics of flov. Roberts and every
thing the state administration stands
for. Mr. Milton Is usually accused of
helnir aetuateri hv nettv malice or by
direction of the politician who wields
a great influence over mm in au uuugs

Mrs. Ml ton was a canaiuaie lor aem

vention and was aecisiveiy ooien

joying the disfavor of Mr. Milton may
be named such men as Lornen nun.
