bernstein on the previous day. Mr.. At
kinson said that, IN seconding the mo-
ton Of Rep. Richards. he stood Tor

he had been elected. If he, in the heat
OF debate, had said anything discour-

understood and, through the agency Of

subject He referred to the statement
made by Rep. Loebeastein that the
party Of which he was a member had
driven the native into a feeling OF an
tagonism against the whites. Mr.. At
kinson challenged this as being uncor-
rect and referred to the late Walter
Murray Gibson as being the one who
had created the antagonism.
