ed by number of Southern Republican

Federal election law against intimida-
ton. ballot box frauds, etc. was consid-
cred today by the House Committee on

dent.
Bessrs. Barthold. of Missouri and
\ Gibson, of Tennessee, who have assisted
in framing the proposed bill, were heard
on the extent of election Irregularities
in their States and elsewhere in the
South. They explained the alleged parti
sanship OF election boards as made up
by the Governors, and also cited recent
decisions of the courts, which showed
they contended, that the judicial branch
took a rather lenient view of ballot box
Irregularities.
Mr. Gibson said ii wa sbal enough to
deny the franchise to the negro, but
when the white man also was denied the
franchise, the situation became intoler-
able. This drew a spirited rejoinder
from Representative Sulloway. of New
Hampshire. who maintained that black
and white alike We're entitled to protec-
tion In exercising the franchise.
