VOTERS N THE SOUTH
Compared by States With the
Seventh Kansas District.
COL0RED MEN COUNTED
10 Census Year But Not on
Election Day.

Especial Correspondence Of the Eagle)
Washington. Dec SO.-A most interest
ing study is presented in the figures on
the proportlonate vote of southern states
which have not disfranchised the negro.
and those that have. This study is more
interesting since Mr.. Crumpacker Of In
diana is so insistent upon the passage of
his bill to reduce the representation Of
these southern states in the house. in
view of their decreasing voting popula-
ZION. South Carolina has practically cut
out the coIored vote. At the election Of
1885 the total vote cast for the seven win
nlng candidates for congress was 25,t2',
or GS5 votes less than Chester l. Long
received in the Seventh district Of kan
sas. The average vote cast for the
seven successful candidates in South
Carolina was 3. l32. Mr.. Long received
p. co. The total vote cast in South Caro-
lima az this election was but per cent
OF the population OF the state. North
Carolina has not Yet disfranchised the
colored vote. but intends. it is alleged, to
do so. Even here. with a full vote, the
comparison with the vote in the Seventh
Kansas district is not favorable. The to-
tai vote cast for the winning candidates
for congress in the nine districts of
North Carolina in 1898 Was 172.54, The
average vote in each district was le.l54
The total vote of this state was p per
cent of the population. In other south
EN- states the same situation exists.
Take Arkansas. for instance. 1t has six
members Of the lower house. The SIX
members received only 24972 votes. or
I.5e0 less than Mr.. Long received in the
Seventh Kansas district. louisiana also
has six members Of congress. Their total
vote in l>aS exceeded by only 9el votes
the vote received by MIR LonS az the
same election. The population Of L7ui-
siana is almost the same as that Of
Kansas. The total vote cast in the sew

quire into the situation and ascertain the
proportion of actual voters in the south
TO the total number of males over 81
years Of age, the Washington Post has
this interview with the author: "As 1
have figured it, the southern states would
lose about twenty-five members of the
house if my plan for reduction of repre-
sentation to the basis of votes actually
cast should become law" remarked Rep
resentative Crumpacker. What states
would be most affected?" Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina" was the
reply. of course there are several other
southern states that would be affected.
but these three are the principal ones"
DO you anticipate the enactment of
such a law?" Il know that a great num-
Der of Republicans in the house favor it,
and you know my bill looking to such
step was favorably reported from the
census committee just before congress
adjourned last March. One or two Re
publicans in the senate have told me that
they doubted whether it would be expe-
dent to pass such a measure this win
ter, but when the house has acted. and
the responsibility S put on the other
legislative branch. I believe the senator's
will meet IL. The question You know. IS

that of Legate, and it brought down the
house.
Sydney A. Shipman Of Hutchinson has
been promoted from a $500 clerkship in the
bureau Of pensions, to 1920.
When the clerk read Senator Pettisrew's
resolution in the senate the other day
nobody smiled. 1t certainly seemed all
right. But that was because "Spane"
sounds exactly as If 1t were written
Spain" Senator Pettigrew wrote
"Spane." It is said OF Napoleon that he
used to spell very badly. His letters in
French, still extant. are almost ludicrous
General Grant was also frequently at
fault. Once in declining a request TO Of
fciate at a funeral, he regretted his in
ability to be "paulbearer." So much, at
least, by way Of excuse for Senator Pet
tigrew. r II. FAXON.
