The Crumpacker Resolution.

III Now that President Roosevelt g
J, sweeping victory has left the Solid
South. in political yard by itself, there
lis an excellent opportunity for the re-
Ipublican party to overcome sectional
bitterness and bring about new era
sof good feeling. This is to be desired
even more for social and economic rea-
sons than as a question of politics.
Therefore it is to be hoped that the
Republican majority in congress will not
push the Crumpacker resolution to q
vote. Viewed from the abstract view
ipoint Of governmental policy, 1t is
fdoubtless fair and right to reduce south
ern representation in congress and in the
electoral college on the basis Of the &C
Itual vote cast. It is not even-handed
Justice to the northern voter that the
southern white man should be given the
right to cast the suppressed ballot of
the negro. The proposed REIMBURSEMENT
would only carry out the mandatory
language Of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution, which in Section 2
proYiides;
among the several states according to
HEIR respective numbers, counting the
whole number of persons in eacn state,
Excluding Indians not taxed. But when
ifthe right to vote at an election for the
choice Of electors for president and vice
president Of the United States, represen-
tatives in congress, the executive and jul

I0f the legislature thereof, is denied to
/ any Of the male inhabitants of such state,
being Fl years of age, and citizens Of the
United States, or in any way abridged,
except for participation In rebellion or
my other crime, the basis Of representa-
Hon therein shall be reduced in the pro
portion which the number Of such male
citizens shall bear to the number Of male
citizens of 81 years of age in such state.
Granting that the proposed reduction
in southern representation is just, and
that it is backed up by the constitution,
there is still another question. Is it
