THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE.
Publication of the Ballot is the Great End VIZ
Seek, Says Governor Oates.
DIV The Associated Press.


Montgomery, July 24.-Section four of
the Suffrage Article, which states that
all those entitled to vote under what is
known as the Grandfather clause" was
up for consideration today in the Consti-
tutional convention.
Delegate O'Neal, of Lauderdale, spoke
for the majority plan as it stands. He
contended that the Fifteenth Amendment
did not erect a barrier to disfranchise the
negro outright.
Governor Oates took the floor for the
minority report. ''It has been declared
that the purpose of this convention was
to eliminate the negro from suffrage"
said Governor Oates. "The purpose was
to redeem our beloved State from con-
dition into which we had fallen by dis
honest elections"
Governor Oates said he would admit
some negroes in preference to some white
men.
