Associated Press Dispatch
Nushville. Tcihi., Aug. 30—Interest
in today's session of the Tennessee
Legislature centered In the declara-
tion o? Speaker Seth Walker of the
I/OWer House, that a quorum would be
present with ii majority opposed to
suffrage and tlint the motion to re-
consider, placed on the journal two
weeks ago by Mr. Walker, would be
called up, and the Mouse would re-
scind its ratification of the Nineteenth
amendment. •
Although the suffrage majority ten
days ago called from the journal the
Walker motion and defeated it, the

ty ntiti-suffragists having gone to Ala-
bama to break the quorum.
