wasnmo'ron. Aug. 26~——The
proclamation announcing calcini-
ly that the Suffrage amendment
to the Constitution had been ra-
tified was signed today by Secre-
tary of State Colby.
The document was signed at 8
o'clock this morning at Mr. Col~
by's home when the certificate
from Governor Roberts that the
Tennessee Legislature had rati-
fied the amendment was received.
Secretary Colby announc his ac—
tion on his arrival at, his office
later.
The announcement disappoint-
ed a group of suffrage workers
who had gathered at the state
Department with the hope of being
present when Mr. Colby signed.
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the
National Woman’s Party, was
among them.
"We are confident that the sig—
nature of Secretary Colby com-
pletes the suffrage struggle in this
country." she said. "The W0-
man’s Party will not relax its vl-
gilancc. however. until it is satis-
fied that no future attempts will
be made to wrest from the women
of the United States the political
equality which they have won."
