Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 17.—Mem- bers of the Tennessee House went into seasion today prepared“to vote upon ratiication of the federal suf- frage amendment. Favorable action on the ratification resolution, already approved by the Senate, would make Tennessee the 36th state to ratify the amendment and would give the ballot to the women of the entire country. Advocates and opponents of suf- frage made conflicting claims, but agreed that the result would be close. The committee which considered the ratification resolution voted, 10 to 8, to recommend adoption. Speaker Seth Walker, leader of the anti-suffrage forces, predicted im a decisive manner that the amendment would be rejected. Fifty votes are necessary for rati- fication. Suffragists claimed from 53 to 60 votes, although admitting that five of the seven Nashville represen- tatives had gone over to the oppo- sition.
