PASS THE FEDERAL ELECTION
BILL!

The action of the Republican
House of Representatives in pass
ing the Federal Election Bill was
a step in the direction of righting
a great wrong. We have steadily
maintained that Congress had the
power to protect the COlored man
in his right to vote and should ex-
ercise that power. The Democrats
have made the most strenuous eff |
forts to defeat this bill, but thank
God, have failed.
The measure has been carefully |
drawn, and living as we do in this,
our beloved Southland, we feel GER
tain that it will go far towards
.-.hedying the evil which now ex-
lois.
IL is needless for men to declare
thai it will not answer the purpos-
Is iOr which it was intended, but
will only increase the death rate Of
ter There are many districts in
tne South where just such law is
needed, TO insure fair elections.
When we remember that in Louisi-
ana, there were over one hundred
men, women and children butchered
i'll days when political excitement
was not prevalent nor cOlored men
aggressive, we come to the cOuclu-
sion that we might as well die, con
tending for our rights, backed by
the National Government, as to
meet the same fate unsupported by
any earthly power.
This southern Oligarchy raised
the same howl when Speaker
REED advocated and secured a
change in the rules of the House
providing for the rule OF the
majority. No candid man can fail
to see the good resulting from the
change. But, from what do we SUI
fer in most parts of the South in an
election 7 1t is the manipulation
of the returns. They intimidate as
far as they are able but the great
wrong is perpetrated at the count
The same is true throughout the
South. To COlored men they an
nounce, "YOu can do the voting j
we can supervise the count" Ii

been resOrted to in order to rOl
