July 7.—Governor Bickett, of North Carclina, today is- sued a call for a special session of the leghla-urg for August 10 at which ratification of the suffrage amend- ment will be considered. Governor Bickett did not mention suffrage in the cail but he has tele- graphed President Wilson that he will recommend to the special session that the amendment be ratified. Both national and state democratic leaders are expected to bring great pressure to bear on the legislature to ratify the amendment and a bitter fight is looked for by state officers. Proceedings Against Colby. Washington, July 7.—Proceedings asking that Bainbridge Colby, secre- tary of state be enjoined from is- suing any proclamation declaring the suffrage amendment ratified were in- stituted . in the District of Coiumbia supreme court today by Charles S. Fairchild of New York, president of the American Constitutional league. Mr. Fairchild also seeks to prevent Attorney Gen. Palmer from enforcing the amendment. Justice Bailey is- sued an order for Secretary Colby and the attorney general to show cause July 13 why the motion should not be grahted. Fraud Is - Alleged. The basis of the proceedings is the claim that the tification of the amendment by the West Virginia leg- islature was illegal because accom- plished by fraud and that the pro- posed ratification by the Tennessee legislature also would be illegal on the ground that the legislature lacked authority under the state’s constitu- tion to act on the measure. Only 35 states have ratified the amendment and as ratification by one’ other is necessary the attack on the amendment through the courts - at this time came as a sdrprise in suf- frage circles here. An attack on the legality of the action of the Tennes- see legislature had been expectd but not until the legislature actually had acted. In anticipation of such a move by the anti-suffrage forces, the organi- zation supporting the amendment have urged early action by more than 36 states so that the amendment, could be come operative in time to permit the women to vote in the presidential election this year. | PROF.
