The eyes of the millions of women throughout the country are turned toward Ten nessee as the one state that can and will enfranchise them- prior to the November election by becoming the 36th state to ratify the suffrage amendment. " 'We ?rust that for the present all other legislative matters may, if nec essary, be held in abeyance and that you will call an extra session of the legislature of your state for such brief duration as may be required to' act favorably on the amendment'. Tennessee occupies a position of pe culiar and pivotal importance and one that enables her to render a ser vice, of incalcuiabla value to the wo men of America. We confidently ex pect, therefore under your leadership and through your action of the leg islature of your state the women of the nation may be given the privilege of voting in the coming presidential election.' " Homer S. Cummings, Chairman National Committee." Nashville, Tenn., June 25.-Gov. A. H. Roberts, on reaching Jackson, Tenn., where he speaks this after noon, sent a telegram to President Wilson, stating that he intended to include ratification of the 19th amendment inhis call for an extra session of the legislature, provided the state of legal department advised him that ratification could now be made. When the govenor's telegram was sent he had not heard that Attorney General Thompson had sent him an opinion here advising that the pres ent legislature could ratify the amendment. Raleigh, N. C., June 25.-Declar ing that President Wilson's telegram calling attention to the importance of the North Carolina action en the federal suffrage amendment requir ed no answer, Governor Bickett to day stated that he had nothing to add to the statement he has already made relative to his views toward suffrage. Those views were expressed in a letter to W. N. Everett of Rocking ham, N. C., suffrage leader in the 1919 legislature, who asked the gov ernor to champion the cause of wo men in the state convention. The governor in this letter, made public March 15, declined to do this, but he added : "Some time ago I decided to ad vise the general assembly at the spe cial session in July to ratify the fed eral amendment. It is the sensible and the graceful thing to do. It fol lows that I am in favor of the Demo cratic convention indorsing the amendment when it meets in April.* Voicing his own personal fears in regard to suffrage, Governor Bickett added in that letter: "But my dear Mr. Everett my fears do not blind my eyes and I clearly see that today a condition and not a theory confronts the Demo cratic party in North Carolina. Wo man suffrage is coming. It is as ir resistible as the tides, and I am con vinced it is the part of wisdom for the Democratic party in North Caro lina to accept it gracefully."
