California. No one who cannot read and
write can vote intellgenily.
Judge Dibble spoke earnestly in behalf
Of tie iilterate. In this country all men are
politically equal. Why then pass an act to
dIsfranchise those who have been lnfortu-
nate in not obtaining the benefits of educa-
ton? He believed in manhood SuffrIge.

STURTEVANTS STAND.
MI Sturtevant Of Mendocino said this is
not party question. The American in this
House bases the most fundamental principles
Of lis party on this question. Tie Demo

and educational qualification. The Rcpub-
licGn majority in this House who profess to
support the Federal Governments, and to be-
Eeve in America for Americans, are bound
to support an amendment requiring an rdu-
catlOnal qualification. Any man who resides
here ten years should lie able to read and
write our language. "a man is a man for
a that is quite true, If by man you mean
one IN whom the elements are so mixed that
nature might stand up before all the world
and say inns is d mau, but If by man YOU
Include ali lhase things that are driven to
the polls and voted by the bosses, their man
hood Is no qualification.
