SOCIOLOGICAL QUESTION.
Investigation of Suffrage Conditions In
vited on That Basis.

Mr.. Hull. the Chairman of the Commit
tee on Military Affairs, called up the
Army Appropriation bill in the House
yesterday as soon as the Moss Rhea con-
tested election case was disposed of. An
agreement was reached that the general
debate upon the measure should continue
for ten hours.
Mr.. Scarborough Dem. s. c. then ad
dressed the committee anent the Crum
packer resolutions to investigate suffrage
conditions in the South. He declared that
the suffrage qualifications. which he ac-
mitted debarred the greater portion Of
the negroes from voting, was not po-
litical question, and never should have
been treated as such.
Instead. he said, it was a sociological
question. In that view of the matter he
asserted that the Southern people would
welcome an investigation by Congress.
Following Mr.. Scarborough, Mr.. Gaines
Dem.. Tenn delivered another and about
the eighth installment of his Philippine
speech, the material for which he col
lected during his trip TO the islands last

had informed the Brown Democracy that
he was a Democrat that If elected to
Congress he would vote with that party
on organization and upon important po-
Iitical questions. Yet, Mr.. Rhea asserted.
Mr.. Moss had set forth in his brief be

COMMITTEE TO PASS ON
VIRGINIA CONTESTS
Election Cases to Be Taken
Up at Thursdays Meeting.
In Contest of General Walker VS.. Rhea
Contestee Will Probably Retain Seat
Mr.. Lassiter Brilliant Politician.

Elections Committee No. will meet
two contested election cases from Vir-
ginia.
These cases are:
The Estate OF General Walker vs.. 2hca
for the seat from the Ninth Congressional
District and Wilson VS.. Lassiter for the
seat from the Fourth District.
Estate Prosecuting Contest.
The Rhea case is peculiar from the fact
that since the election General Walker.
who was the Republican candidate. has
died. His heirs. however, continue his con-
test in the hope of having the seat de-
clared vacant 1t is hardly probable they
will be successful.
The Wilson Lassiter case is very live
one. The arguments occupied two days
last week.
Three Able Attorneys.
Mr.. Lassiter vas represented by three
of the ablest lawyers in the State of Vir-
ginia Ex-Governor Cameron. Mr.. William
McIIwaipe. and Mr. Alexander Hamilton,
all from Petersburg, Mr.. Lasster's home
city. Ex-Governor Cameron and Mr.
Hamilton are members of the Virginia
constitutional cony ention. Mr.. Nell
waine is member OF the State Senate.
Mr.. Wilson was represented by Mr.. t.
4. Thorpe and Mr.. John 5. Wise.
The case was narrowed down finally to
a technicality, some of the election judges
having failed to fulfill the letter of the
law in regard to certifying to the returns.
A Distinguished Son Of Virginia.
Mr.. Lassiter, while the youngest men,
Der of the Virginia delegation. is one
of the ablest Representatives the Old Do
minion has in Congress. 1t is hoped by
all his friends that this contest will soon
be decided in his favor, so he may have an
opportunity to take that position in Con
gress which his undoubted talents would
soon make for him, were he able to enter
the arena unhampered by the sense of
uncertainty which every man feels who
has a contest on his hands.

Mr.. Rhea Resumes Argument.

The consideration of the contest was
resumed in the House Immediately after
the reading of the journal. MIR. Rhea re-

claim to the seat and occupied about an
hour.
He was given very close attention by
members on both sides. Several Sena-
tors. including Senators Blackburn and
Deboe. of Kentucky, came over TO hear
his speech.
Mr.. Rhea said that the House was ASK
ed by the majority report to declare that
the State of Kentucky had set its seal
upon a lie when he was given the GER
tiiicate of election.
