In the center of the hall where dele'- gates railed within' a wide square 'of seats, an Inner ceiling was suspended, eolored'ln Soft old blue that rested the eye and lent something of quiet dignity to. the scene. the iiames of state and terrirles wag the only reminder of national conventions of the past. Perched high beside the organ in a special gallery, a military band whiled away the time. As noon and the starting time of the convention drew near a color guard of the marines appeared on the platform.

A six foot sergeant 'with the gleam-Ing fold of a regimental flag in his hand made a vivid spot of color on the platform. At his side Btood the noncommissioned officers of the color guard and with them two marine buglers. When Vilce-Chairman Kremer, of the national cbmmlttee, gave the signal, a bugler soxinded "Attention," the sharp, staccato ckll rang out over the uproar of conversation.

The great flag was gathered slowly upward in the sling and as it rose it uncovered a flag-draped and illuminated portrait of President Wilson, placed against the, high pipes oi the organ. For a moment there was a brief pause. Then came, the tumult.

A wild shout rang from the floor. It was caught up and echoed from side to Rising with hysterical force the sound grew and grew, a formless toneless thin that had in lt something that stirred the blood and pulled at the emotions.

"We favor the selection of the na tion's delegation in the league of nations by popular vote in districts, in order that the people may speak, through representatives of their own in the August tribunal which will consider the welfare of world "These delegates should be Instructed not to vote for war without spe cific instructions from-congress or from the people, given by referendum vote Our nation' delegates 1 should also be instructed to insist -upon- the dis armament' of the world-in 'order that he burden of militarism may: be lifted from the shoulders- of those who toil and foundation of an enduring peace Jaid in friendship and co-opera sr -i- The plauk 'follows 'Mr. Bryan's- demand, for majority rule and was regarded as fundamentally opposed to the administration's desire for' a declaration for; ratification without destructive U.

The Announcement made today that Governor Roberts tentatively decided upon August .9 for the extra session of the legislature of Tennessee is the leading topic of discussion here among suf- 1 frage leaders and politicians of both parties.

The news is more disappointing than the suffragists care to admit. Democratic leaders confess their disappointment in the late date, while the republicans are pleased with the situation. Those of the national woman's party say they will accept this date as wished on them, and proceed to make the best of it. They had hoped for an earlier date that ratification might effected in time for the women to take part in a number of state primaries which are to be ield previous to August 9, but as they are confident the Tennessee legislature will ratify they feel the final victory is' near at hand and that it is cause for rejoicing.

"Our campaign in Tennessee has now become much simpler. We had feared that a campaign would be necessary to force the governor -to set a sufficiently early date for the. session.

"Now we shall have only the task of making a thorough canvass of the legislature, to see that the majority' which voted for presidential suffrage in the state last; year, supports ratification." Miss Sue White, Tenness.ee state Lchairman for the woman's party, sent the following telegram of congratulation to Governor. Roberts tonight: "Understanding that you. have officially announced that a special session Tennessee legislature will be called for August 8 to ratify suffrage amendment, I offer hearty congratulations. Tour action makes certain the enfranchisement of women' of eighteen states in time for the presidential ends the half century struggle of women for political equality and adds new glory to the unique history of the Volunteer State.
