There might have been for this proposition
If the democratic party in its latest contests had not
been generally victorious Such proposition might

Congressman Kelley has at last defined his pedigree
He is descended from North Of Ireland Protestant
and French Huguenot, who immgrated to America in
1916 He claims 70 derive from them his "French
volatility and Irish pugnacity" He told Detroit
porter that he was o-so- saturated with the subjects
that he could take 1t up at any time. He generally
speaks without notes preparation Of any kind
Kelley further remarked that he was not Communist
in sympathy with Communists. What he did
say about c1lotes in his Youngstown speech
in the words Of Mirabeau who described them lank,
lean, lantern-jaw men, ground TO the dust with
poverty and low wages hungry and ferocious, with
shabby garments and, their name implies 'wthout
breeches the victims Of bad laws and yrannous edcts
the sufferers by false system Of political economy
Kelley asked II there any ctL0tes in America
and whether desirable that there SHOULD be any

Florida Is be reconstructed by the republicans In
the olden time runaway negroes from Florida Georgia
South Carolina and Alabama went into that portion OF
Florida which set apart for the residence Of the
Seminole Indians They gradually became incorpo
rated with that tribe Their power finally became
great and in the Seminole they more cruel
and ferocous than the Indians themselves. When it
became necessary TO gather them together a commu-
nifty they lived for while a town separate from the
4, homes Of the semmolcs, but after much difficulty
they were induced TO 90 to Texas, and locate on
reservation Of the Sabine River These Indanized
negroes have lost Of their savage and merciess
character Since IT is claimed that they have rights in
the Seminole reservation in Florida It proposed TO
transport them back to the latter state and the Mobile
Register thinks this effort is political scheme,

barbarians become a democratic State. Tho story Is
romantic, if not true
