Will Now Compete with Winner of Section
B for Tribune GaveL

An enthusiastic audience was present at the
twentieth public debate under the auspices of the
Greater New-York Interscholastic Debating
League. which held last night at the Boys
High School of Brooklyn The subject under dis
CT ssion was Resolved That the action of certain
Southern States In Merchandising the negro IS
justifabe" A. P. Hodgins. Thomas Collisan and
D. T. Smith, of the Eastern District High School
of Brooklyn, upheld the affirmative. and Stanley
Quinn, NJ. s. Bear and 3. S. Douglass. of the One
hundred branch of the De Witt Gin
ton High School upheld the negative
Tho affirmative speakers endeavored to prove
that a nation can and should grant the right OF
suffrage in order to best promote It's own inter
ests. In accordance with this policy. they main
tanned that the ballot ought not TO be given to a
race that was mentally and morally deficient, as
the negro to-day is. Particularly is this true
account of the fact that in many of the South
States the black far outnumbers the white
population. Thus, for their protection 1t be-
came the duty of the Southern States 10 deny the
right of suffrage to a utterly unfit and I'M
worthy of it.
In reply the negative speakers maintained that
the ballot was necessary to insure protection for
the negro. and that il unwise to deprive a
large body Of taxpayers of q share in the govern
ment Furthermore, they argued, the denial or
the franchise to the negro was not policy 10

and criminal classes but visible instance of bitter
