The issue of National election law has
been rendered to the country by the Re
publican State Conventions of Massachus-
cites and New York. In his speech as
Temporary Chairman, CHAUNCEY NJ. DE
PEW said:
1t is the duty of Congress as well as the
State to see that the momentous question
shall be settled, that the count is beyond
dispute and the voter free beyond lntlml-
datiOn.
That sounds very we'll. We endorse
the sentiment of freedom from lntlmlda-
ton and an honest count, but we do not
endorse the National election law. If we
are to have no rights reserved to the
States, let the State lines be obiiterated
and give US a strong centralized govern
ment with dictator. Ii we are to have
States, they must have the powers that
were originally theirs, and which, until
now, no one ever suggested should be Ia
ken from them. Mr.. DEPEw wants this
Law and the New York Republicans want
it ostensibly to secure to the negro fail
vote We say ostensibly because they
care nothing for the negro and II they
dared they would deprive him of his vote
Tie real purpose is to get absolute con
troll of the election machinery OF the coun
try and perpetuate themselves IN power
Even if such is not their design, we op
pose any law that will secure Federal su
peryision of elections. 1t is subverslve O
all State rights, and contrary to the splrl
of our government.
Simultaneous with the New York Re
publicans, the Massachusetts Republican
speak on the same line. The following
resolution was adopted last week:
To our Senator'S and Representatives il
Congress we would say that the Republl
cans Of Massachusetts look to them t
strive without ceasing to secure Nation
al election law which shall give protectlo
to the national ballot and to the citizen
IN casting it.
