NEGRO POWER In POLITICS.
Circumstances Under which 1t Would
Disappear.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
Lewis Johnson, an honest, typical. old
style negro, a teamster by trade and a
politician of considerable influence In the
Third ward of this city, made speech In
the last campaign wherein he stoutly main
tanned that the Constitution does not neces-
sarily follow the flag, and that 1t would
be preposterous for us Americans, as he
put it, to grant self-government and full
instruction and training they are prepared
for such dangerous responsible privileges.
Mr. Johnson is a shrewd reasoner, dyed
in-the-wool Republican and stalwart pa
triot, who has time and again passed some
very severe structures upon the infidelity
that some Of his race have recently shown
to the party that liberated them, and the
purely commercial point of view from
which they look on the inestimable boon
of suffrage. 1t perhaps did not occur to
Mr.. Johnson that this right which he and
bestowed upon the Filipinos, Hawaiians and
Porto Ricans, was given unto themselves
with greater recklessness than was ever
suggested in the case of the Inhabitants of
our insular possessions.
The statement that the negroes helped
to keep these inhabitants in their present
subsection Is made advisedly. The Demo-
Gratis favored self-government with the
right to participate to a certain degree in
our national affairs; the Republicans OPP
posed this proposition. The negroes voted
dates. The compilation below gives the re-
turns from seven States which cast their
electoral votes for Mckinley In 1900 with
the Republican majority and the number of
negroes of voting age In each, and the
electoral vote:
