SENATOR IILLMAN LETS
LOOSE In WINDY CITY

Continued from First Page)
Mayor Dunno, the creature of polit-
zeal hour, to come forward and add his
mite
Il have been advertised to discuss
the annexation of Cuba" continued Mr..
Tillman, but in view of the fact that
could not discuss that subject with
out discussing the race question, i am
going to go at this matter hammer and
tongs Therefore, | shall discuss the
race problem pure and simple from an
American standpoint, and not from a
Cuban standpoint. Owing to my expe-
rlence with the question, and the dill
gent study l have made Of it, l believe
| am better qualified TO discuss the
question than any other man in Amer
lea"
While discussing the Fifteenth
amendment to the constitution, which
he declared gave the negro every right
chat a white man had, he was inter-
rupted several times by one Of his lis
tenerl, who kept asking:
"How about Kentucky?"
Finally Mr.. Tillman seemed to lose
his temper and exclaimed;
oh shut your mouth. You don't
know the A, B, c Of this thing l for
got forty years ago more than you ever
knew"
you make up your minds that
equality before the law which the 18th
amendment guarantees is right and
should be enforced Notwithstanding its
results. If this law was enforced it
would result in two states at least be-
ing dominated absolutely by negroes,
while four other states would be 50
near being governed by the negro that
there would practically be an equal d.
vision Of officers"
"a voice How about the law?'
Senator Tilman-"The law? To hell
with such laws"
After telling in detail how the negro
4 is prevented from casting his ballot in
/ the south Senator Tillman said:
There is a great deal more to this
question than this little racket here in
I Chicago"
A voice.
How about the negro judge?"
Senator Tillman: well l will tell
4 you about your negro Judge and about
your political machines putting him on
/ your ticket and bamboozling those poor
1 ignorant balloons into electing him
and then afterwards you fellows who
voted the ticket without knowing what
was on it find away to cheat him out
of it.
mo matter what the people in the
! north may say or do, the white race
in the south will never be dominated
by tho negro, and want to tell you
new that If some state should ever
make an attempt to save South Car
Dina we win show them in their fam
atheism that we will make it red before
we make 1t black
God Almighty made the Caucasian
of better clay"
THE Ethiopian is burden-carrier
He has done absolutely nothing for his
tory, nor has he ever achieved any
thing of great Importance There are
no great men among the race. Yet
this people has been picked out by the
, fanatics of the north and lifted up to
the equality of citizenship and to the
rights Of suffrage No doubt many of
you have listened to the oratory of the
greatest colored man of this country
Booker Washington. He had white
father however, and his brains and
his character he has inherited from
that father"
Senator Tillman then told his audi
ence of the attacks on white women by
negroes in the south, and declared that
the people Of the north were in a great
measure responsible for this state Of
affairs.
In conclusion Senator Tillman said:
| Nov, as a general illustration of the
injustice that is sometimes DONE Pres
ident Roosevelt discharged three COM
panies Of colored soldiers without a
court-martial, and in doing this he
FURNISHED innocent men for the crime
of a few. In doing this he transcribed
the authority of the law, and he ought
not to have done it,
