They Have It.  Women of Country Can Now Vote in the Coming Election for President.  Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 18 - Tennessee today became the thirty-sixth State to ratify the Susan B. Anthony Federal suffrage amendment.  The constitutional chance thus will become effective in time for the women of the country to vote in the Presidential election in November, unless the lower House of the Tennessee Assembly rescinds its action of today in adopting the ratification resolution 49 to 47.  Speaker Walker, leader of the anti-suffragists, put opponents in a position to demand reconsideration by changing his vote from nay to aye and moving to reconsider.  The House adjourned until 10 o'clock Thursday when the speaker's motion will have the right of way.  Suffrage and anti-suffrage forces tightened their lines this afternoon for the final fight and both sides were claiming victory.  The suffragist, however, had the advantage of today's victory and expressed confidence that Speaker Walker's motion would be voted down tomorrow.  The vote in the house was 49 to 47.  The Senate ratified the amendment last Friday by a vote of 25 to 4.  Speaker Walker, in an attempt to have the action reconsidered, changed his vote to aye and moved that such action be taken.  Walker's change of his vote gave ratification of a majority of 50 to 46.  Adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock Thursday.  Ratification by the Tennessee legislature was the culmination of an intensive drive made by suffrage proponents to have the amendment made effective in time for the women of the country to vote in the Presidential election in November.  The drive was started when West Virginia became the thirty-fourth State to ratify early this year.

Waddle Wins.  State Committee Refuses To Reopen The Pulaski Contest. 
Benjamin L. Waddle continues to head the Republican County Committee and the committee selected by the precinct conventions will hold on.  This was the verdict of the Republican State Central Committee which met in Louisville last Wednesday.  Mr. J.R. Cook, who was elected County Chairman by the mass convention at the Courthouse asked for a rehearing and had considerable proof, it is said, to offer as to why he should be seated, but the Committee said the affair was settled as far as they were concerned.  Mr. Cook was not allowed to present his case.  Those who attended the meeting say that Governor Morrow took quite an interest in the proceedings and used his influence in behalf of his brother-in-law, Mr. Waddle.  Mr. Waddle and his political allies will have charge of the Republican campaign in the county this fall.  Judge R.C. Tartar will act as Chesley Searsey, R.B. Waddle as Chairman Hays and W.B. Morrow as Tobias Hert.  This is a combination hard to beat but when the Democrats get organized and going good they will know there is a fight on.  Mr. Waddle, in conversation with a reporter for this paper stated that the most vigorous campaign in the history of the county would be waged.

Mr. E.L. Shotwell, manager of the Somerset office of the Kentucky Utilities Co., and Mr. George Waddle, cashier and bookkeeper, sent their resignations to the Louisville office this week.  Both resignations take effect September 15th.  Mr. Shotwell and Mr. Waddle have been with the local company for several years and both are efficient employees and well liked by the patrons of the company.  IT will be generally regretted that they are to sever their connection with the local office.  The company has not decided who they will send to take the places of these gentlemen.

Progressive Farmer.  Elias Burton, one of the most progressive farmers of the county, who lives in the Oak Hill neighborhood, is building a new $4,000.00 home.  Mr. Burton will have all modern conveniences in this new home.  He has purchased a complete Lally Light and water system and will have it installed at once.  This system includes lights, bathroom, toilets and power.  The plant was purchased from T.E. Jasper.

Short on Teachers.  The City Schools, in all probability, will be short of teachers for the grades when school opens next month.  There were several who did not take the examination for a state certificate and in the past week quite a number have resigned.  It is going to be a problem to fill their places as the law now requires all teachers to hold state certificates.

About That Bridge.  The great need of the Pitman Creek bridge was fully demonstrated last Thursday when Somerset had many auto parties as circus guests.  Quite a delegation came to the Journal office and urged us to use all our influence to have work started at once on the approaches so the people could use the bridge.  On man, and he was a strong Republican, told us that he would never vote the Republican ticket again if the present administration didn't get busy.  He said he knew of dozens of others who were talking the same way.  There is an order on the books of the Fiscal Court to build the approaches but it seems to mean nothing.

****************************

Paynter Here.  Mr. T.H. Paynter, District Road Engineer, was in the city this week in conference with the county authorities.  Mr. Paynter says that the State Road Department is very anxious that the county complete the approaches to the bridge over Pitman Creek so that bridge can be put to use and so the state can make a settlement for work on Monticello Pike.  If this approach is not built the county will not get any state aid on this work and will lose several thousand dollars.  The work on the Stanford Pike continues slowly.  There is said to be some friction between the county authorities and the state representative on this project which is delaying the work.  It is hoped this will be fixed up and the work pushed.  There is plenty of labor and teams available for that work now and there seems to be no reason why it should not be finished.

Rain Prevents Work.  Magistrate C.P. Dause, who is looking after the interest of the county in the construction of the pike on the Stanford road, was in town Friday and said that he was getting along fine until the rainy weather set in and that he has been unable to do much work since.  He hopes to begin again in a few days and will do all he can to push the work to completion

Work To Begin.  The Connelly Construction company started their crusher to work this week to get out rock for the work on the streets of Somerset.  Mr. Connelly will push the work with all possible haste and he hopes to have all the streets in good condition by fall.

Body Has Been Sent From France.  The body of Deleno Wilson, son of A.R. Wilson, of Faubush, has been shipped from France and will be sent to Somerset.  This news was received by Mr. Wilson from the war department and the local post, American Legion, also received notice.  It is not known just when the body will arrive.  Mr. Wilson has expressed a desire that the burial take place at the National Cemetery and the American Legion will have charge of the services.  They will meet the body and escort it to the cemetery.  All members will be given notice so as to be here.  Private Wilson served all through the war and was in some of the biggest and fiercest battles, but came out without a scratch.  He was ordered with the army of occupation into Germany and there took pneumonia and died.

May Be Retired.  The last congress passed a pension bill retiring all government employees over 65 years of age unless the Postmaster General gives special permission for their retention and they are recommended by their superiors.  This order will effect Mr. Charles Porch, who has had charge of the Money Order window at the post office, and M.E. Barnette, who has been carrying the mail on a star route for some time.  By special permission Mr. Barnette has been retained and will continue carrying the mail for two years.  The case of Mr. Porch has not been acted on yet but as he has been highly recommended it is likely he will be retained.

Barnes.  Willie P. Barnes, son of W.W. Barnes, died last Saturday after a short illness.  He was 22 years of age.  Funeral services were held at Mt. Zion, just east of Somerset, on Sunday.  He was a brother of Wesley J. Barnes, formerly County Superintendent of Schools.

Peterson has engineered the deal.
