Washington, June 24—Assistant At-
torney General Frlerson has advised
Gov. Roberts of Tennessee that the
legislature of that state could ratify
the suffrage amendment without sub-
mitting the issue to the people.
Mr. Frierson's opinion given orally
and in writing both to Gov. Roberts
and the attorney general of Tennessee
was based largely on the decision of
the United States supreme court in the
Ohio rferendnm case. In that case
the court held that ratification of
amendments could be had only by
state legislatures or conventions and
that provisions of state constitutions
that ratification be referred to a vote
of the people conflicted with ther fed-
eral constitution.
It was said today that President
Wilson asked the attorney genet%l for
an Interpretation of the Tennessee
constitution with respect to ratifica-
tion. Mr. Frlerson, who Is a nativcof
Tennessee, ruled that the supreme
court decision made invalid that ac-
tion on a federal amendment must be
token by a legislature, the members of
which have been elected after the
amendment was admitted to the
state.
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the
woman's party said today that Gov.
Hoberts' decision to call a special ses-
sion of the legislature to act on the
suffrage amendment, "means certain
Victory." A recent canvass of both
Tennessee houses, she said, indicated
a safe majority in favor of ratification.
This, of course, will be a triumph
for the democratic party," Miss Paul
declared, "and already has had the ef-
fect of pushing republican efforts to
secure action, in Vermont."
The president's letter to Asslstai^
Attorney General Frlerson said:
"A constitutional question has aris-
en in Tennessee with regard to the
power of the legislature to act at
once upon the pending suffrage
amendment to the constitution of the
United States." the president wrote.
"A member of the Tennessee con-
gressional delegation has requested
the view of the federal authorities on
that question and I would be very
much obliged If you would look Into
the matter for me and let mo have
the view of the department, which I
will be glad to communicate to the
member of congress who has made
the inquiry."
Mr. Frlerson in his reply said he
recently had discussed the question In I
correspondence with the attorney gen- j
era! of Tennessee, and hence was pre- j
pared to answer the president's inquiry |
promptly.
"The constitution of Tennessee," he)
wrote, "contains a provision to the,
effect that no legislature shall act on;
an amendment to the federal constl- ;
tution unless elected after the propos-
al of the amendment. The present
Tennessee legislature was elected be-
fore the suffrage amendment was
proposed.
"The ruling of the supreme court,
however, in the recent Ohio cases and
the consideration which I gave to this
question In preparing the cases for
hearing, leaves no doubt in my mind
that the power of the legislature to
ratify an amendment to the federal
constitution is derived solely from the
people of the United States through
the federal constitution and from
either the people or the constitution
of a state. The power derived' cannot
be taken away, limited or restricted
in any way by the constitution of a
state. The provision of the Tennessee
constitution above referred to, if valid,
would undoubtedly be a restriction
upon that power."
Raleigh, N. C.. June 24.—The North
Carolina legislature will be called to
meet in special session between July
20 and August 10. Tax and the ques-
tion of ratification of the Susan B.
Anthony federal amendment will
come up at that time, it was stated
today at the office of Governor Blck-
