is the Senator's logic.

When Tillman became governor of
South Carolina years ago, he declared
that he would willingly lead mob
to string up the man who ravished
a white woman or a black woman,
be the man black or white.
When the war with Spain was over
and the United States was bordering
over the question of what should be
done with the Philippines and the
Philippines. 'SenatPr Tillman shook
his fists in the faces Of the Republican
senators and tried to get them to
agree to give them the power to vote.
He said that he knew they were net
worthy of that power, but they were
far superior to the negro, and if it
were right to give the negro the
power to vote, why not the PHILIPPINE.
But, the senator continued, the own
in New York, said that the United
States should keep the Philippines for
It's commercial value and that a gov
ernor should be appointed, so that the
commercial eNploitatioms could be
controlled to better advantage by the
moneyed powers. ~,
Mr.. Tillman went back to the time
that slaves were brought to America
from Africa in 1919. They were first
sold in the north and kept there as
long as they were found profitable.
But the Northerner soon found that
it Gw7as cheaper to hire man six
months in the year, when he could
work, than it was to own and feed
him the whole year round. so he sold
the slaves to the South and sold
them. The senator could not refrain
from giving the money grasping Yam
KEGS some hard digs and said that a
Yankee vas hound for the almighty
dollar. He also said that he wished
that three or four hundred thousand
negroes were turned loose in North
Dakota for "a while, that our people
might appreciate his remarks.
The negro, he says, is man in
size and strength and passion, but
baby as far as brains are concerned.
He originated from Africa and for
six Thousand years he lived there with
out building a city, but living on liz
ards and tropical fruits in bamboo
huts. There is no comparison be-
tween the Caucasian and the negroes,
therefore why give the colored man
an opportunity to vote? There are
about nine millions of negroes in the
South, about one million of whom
have a mixture of white blood. There
were about four millions Of negroes
during the war. The number is on
the increase and the negroes are get
ting worse. What will the end be?
The senator would subdue the colored
race before they get any stronger He
is trying to induce the voters Of the
North to send congressman to WASH
ington who will use their influence
in abolishing the Fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution. The SEN
ator's arguments seem to Be good

SCORES POLYGAMISTS

Spokane, Wsah., Oct. la. -Shsrp |
attack on W. E. Borah's attitude to-
ward Mormonism is made by Senator
Fred Dubois, who gave an interview
yesterday answering Mr.. Borah's
speech, made Saturday night at Rath-
drum. Senator Dubois declares that
he never received but one Mormon
vote in his life. He says further
that Mr.. Borah is quibbling when he
says that Senator Dubois did not fur
nish him with names of polygamists
when he offered to prosecute them
without charge to the state, as the
names of 20 ploygamists we're fur
nished Mr.. Borah, who made no at
tempt to prosecute them, knowing it
would be uselss under the laws of
Idaho. Senator Dubois cites the
congressional record in refutation OF
Mr.. Borsh's statement that he is not
an attorney of record for Reed
Smoot. and says that the republican
candidate for senator favors polyga-
nous living:
Mr.. Borah makes some astonish-
ing statements in his Rathdrum
speech, y said Senator Dubois.
Concerning me he said: Senator
Dubois has frequently said that he
has been honored as no other man in
Idaho has been honored, and yet he
has always been elected by Mormon
totes.
