Antis Lose Final Stand On Suffrage In Tennessee Row
Washington and Montgomery dispatches report a failed injunction bid to block Secretary Colby from proclaiming Tennessee's ratification of the federal suffrage amendment. Attorney A. D. Smith for the American Constitutional League pressed for authority to restrain action, while Justice Siddons deferred ruling pending a legal basis. The league previously sought relief before Tennessee acted, and an earlier dismissal cited lack of authority to challenge state ratifications. In Alabama, Mrs. James S. Prichard accuses votes being offered for sale in connection with the Tennessee action.
