Tennessee House adjourns amid suffrage tension
In Nashville, the Tennessee House adjourned at ten a.m. amid agitation by anti-suffragists to reconsider ratification of the federal suffrage amendment. The adjournment passed by a large margin after suffragists failed to secure enough pledges, following a 48 to 47 vote on the related resolution earlier that day. The move preserves time for further reconsideration unless suffragists prevail.
