KNOX ON THE VICTORY
HIGHLY GRATIFIED OVER RE-
 SUIT OF ELECTION.
Under the Operation of the New Con- stitution, He Says, No Worthy White Man Will Be
 Disfranchised.

Anniston. Nov. 12.-(Speciat.J-f1on John B. Knox. president Of the conven- tion which framed the new Constitution yesterday adopted by the people Of Ala hama, said tonight in reference to the victory for ratification:
 "I am very much grattfied to Feel ana know that the new constitution has been accented by the people. The contest for it's ratification has been remarkable In many respects, one of whlch IS that It has been chiefly opposed by certain gen tlemen by whom it was at one tune chiefly advocated. It Is easy enough TOT men of prominence to raise objections to the plan and suggest doubts as to the sincerity of the advocates, as mas been freely done Of course 1t would be altogether out of place for its advocates to suggest any want of sincerity on the part of it's opponents. however this may be. the plan itself will be put upon trial and 1t remains to be seen whether it's advocates or it's opponents VIII De proven to be false prophets.
 "I believe that the new Consutu'lon III its nracttcal operation will rebound to inc permanent and everlasting good or our people.

 We do not claim that our plan, Is perfect. As has been remarked during the course of the discussion. something like four thousand years ago God Almighty upon Mount Sinai wrote upon tablets of stone Thou Shalt Not Steal Moses, the greatest law giver of his time, sought to enforce this commandment, and he did if about with such regulations as seem cd to him sufficient. If God Almighty and Moses in four thousand years have not been able to prevent stealing, how are we to expect leaders of the opposi- tion to do it, especially since they nave commenced so late in life. -''
 .'The success of our plan will depend upon the earnest and sincere support or the people,. I believe 1t will succeed be- cause 1 believe that the conscience or our people is awakened. l believe that they are tired of the system under which we have been living and will cooperate for the establishment of good and honest government in this State.

trol of the State in the hands Of the Intelligent and virtuous. The ignorant negro will be eliminated, while no worthy white man will be disfranchised. Some white men may suffer virtual disfran- chisement because of refusal to pay poll tax of $1.50 as a contribution to the public schools for the education Of their children, but, if so, 1t will be voluntary disfranchisetnent. and not one en1oineo by the terms of the constitution.
 Under the new constitution the negro can vote if he fits and qualities himself to vote. We have not closed the ooor upon him If he fails to qualify himself so as to be able to vote under the tenn porary or permanent plan of registration, 1t Is his own fault. The conditions laid down apply alike to both races. If more whites are qualified for registration than blacks, as Is the case, it Is because tho whites possess in a larger degree the qualities of good citizenship. No mat ter what qualification we should pres cribe the result would be the same. II we prescribed as a qualification that the test of patriotism of good character of education of ownership of property Of freedom from the commission Of crime, or any other test of good citizenship, 1t would exclude largely more negroes than white men, for the reason that the white
