CONGRESSMAN CRUMPACKER, it is an
nounced, will again essay the olo
scheme of reducing the congressional
representation OF the South because
mauy of the voters of this section, nav
ing become tired OF congressional cleo
tions that are carried by money, don't
take the time and trouble to go to the
polls. The fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution provides that repre-
sentation shall be reduced in proper
ton as suffrage is ridged, but not II
that abridsement be the result OF the
voters own sill, and nothing is palmer
than the fact that nobody in the South
now ever attempts, or thinks of doing
so, to prevent, by force, any man, white
or black, from exercising the right OF
outrage.
