THE REASON assigned by the Dorthern
South Eaters for the alleged necessity OF
their proposed federal election law, is that
by 1t there may be fair elections 10 the
South. Yet nothing ia more notorious than
the fact that there ia hardly congressional
election In thu North in which money is not
the most important factor, and ct which
rich men are no, SAINT to Congress, While the
South, as 6 general thing, ia represented.
nos only in the House of Repre- .ntatives,
but ia the Senate also, by poor men. an
other thing, too, may as we'll be remeneei-
ed and that is, hat in ell the Doodle legisla-
tion carried On by Congress southern men
have little or no part and their pames never
appear among the disclosures. 1t would
seem, therefore, to ur pref JUDGED people. that,
for the good OF the country and the reputa-
ton OF Congress, instead of changing the
manner OF elect;ng congressman in the
southern States, 1t would be better if those
in the North were elected according to the
southern method.
