clared in a statement at his home here
today. 1
“For more than a year contest r)\'m'{

statement said: “It has been the all
engrossing and paramunt issue, and
of necessity this issue came to the na

{ formss both have indulged. in the un

h\'Ss these platforms are in direct op-
Ipnr:ition to each other, and on the
{ question for a decision in the Novem

Ratification. ]
Washington, July 7.—Proceedings
asking that Secretary State Colby. be
enjoined from issuing any proclama
tion declaring the suffrage amendment
ratified was instituted in the District
of C'olumbia supreme court today by
Charles S. Fairchald, of New York,
president of the American Constitu

Fairchild also seeks to prevent At
torney General Palmer from enforcing
the amendment Justice Bailey issued
‘to rule on Secretary Colby and Atty.
E(}pn. Palmer to show cause July 13
why the motion should not be granted.
. The basis of the proceedings is the
I('la'im that ratification of the amend
ment by the West Virginia legislatura
lwas illegal because it was acéotfiibjd‘s'h
ed by fraud and that the prg 08 13{
ground that the legislature lacked the
‘authority, under the state’s constitu

: Only thirty-five states have ratified
