It is difficult to believe that the journey of the thirty-one anti-suffrage members of the Tennessee House to Alabama and their subsequent entertainment in that State by means of red roses and automobile tours, is anything but the third act of a musical comedy. However, the Tennessee legislators doubtless mean to be taken seriously and their action in breaking a quorum in the Tennessee House, together with the injunction restraining the governor of that state or any other State official from transmitting Tennessee's ratification of the suffrage amendment which will possibly be efficacious in postponing the operation of the amendment until after election.
