The following is a special telegram
from Washington to the Little Rock
Gazette:
1t is very generally conceded that if
Roosevelt is elected president he will
b. especially severe on the south dur
ing the four years of his administra-
t.Cn. His past record toward that
part of the country may be taken as
a mild indication of what he will do
in the future should victory come his
way. His persistent appointment OF
the negro Crum to be collector Of the
pert of Charleston after the nomina-
ton had been repeatedly turned
down by the senate shows his persis-
tence in the idea that negroes should
hold public Office Moreover, he
seems to think that they should hold
Offices in the south rather than the
north, because in the north there
have been very few negroes appointed
to office
His attitude on the race question
has naturally brought down on him
the most severe criticism by southern
people. Roosevelt resents this, and
he will try to get even. If he is elect
ed it is expected on every hand that
he will try to carry out the Roosevelt
policies instead of the policies Of the
Republican party. He will attempt to
impress his ideas on the people. AL
ready chatting at being muzzled by the
leaders Of his party during the cam
paign, he will be ready after the cleo
ton to cut loose his rough-riderisn
and run. roughhod. over everything.
A Significant Etatement.
Representative Crumpacker of In
diana has already made statement
that if the Republican party is sue
cessful at the polls in November he
will make an attempt to have an ex-
ira session Of congress called to cnt
down the representation of the south
in congress, which means a reduction
Of the number Of electoral votes in the
Roosevelt is in favor of reducing the |
south's representation. The question
is, Will he be able to do it?
Such an attempt will likely be

thwartYod for at least two reasons. IL
J the matter is brought UP in congress
Iit will reopen the race question, ana
with it the wounds of the civil war.
The best element among the Republi-
cans in congress does not desire that
such a calamity should occur. When
ever the matter is brOached in the
senate the leading Republicans try to
, turn it off pleasantly, and avoid any
bitter discussion. 1t is likely that
they would make an effort to dissuade
the president from such course. But
Roosevelt will not stay muZZied all
the time, and perhaps this influence
would not be sufficient to accomplish
the purpose
But there is another influence that
perhaps has not been taken into con-
sieration as yet by Crumpacker and
his followers. That is the business
interest of the north and east is close
lv identified with that of the south.
The southern states are today prosper
ous. The southern merchants are
buying largely Of northern and east
ern merchants. The northern mer.
chants appreciate the value of this
trade. They likewise know that theE

Prospect for Bloodshed.
1t will be small wonder if there Is
not bloOdshed in the southern portion
of West Virginia, the black belt, on
election day. There are no registra
tion laws in West Virginia and in this
section it has been the common prac
tioe Of the Republicans to vote ne
groes several times, drive the Demo
cratic challengers from the polls and
buy up the Democratic election Off

are on guard and they say that none
of these irregular practices will be al

do not go according to law they will
know the reason why Furthermore.

are determined to see to their rights,
