In their noisy war on che trusts the
Democrats have overlooked the most in
iquitious article i'm that line the country
has ever kuown-the franchise trust OF
the "sohd south" West Virginia and
Kentucky are the only southern states
which have not restricted the rights Of
the negro 90 the ballot, eithcr by educa-
tional or property qualification. For a
party that is in such distress over the
woes Of the poor Fiiipinos, and so aux
ious to give them self.goverument the
Democrats are singularly unobservant OF
domestic affairs The "solid south has
some rights and something TO expect for
its vote, and may demand no franchis'
to negroes as a plank in the Kansas City
platform.

price a splendid profit is realized.
